Immediate future plans.
Hi everyone. I wanted to take a second to outline some improvement plans that are in the pipeline for this mod.

1) Wind in this mod will control the weather's wind
2) Redesign heat generation from two sources:
a. Friction from atmosphere: should never actually put you past the heat limit
b. Shock wave heat, this is your main danger on reentry, shock wave will take effect above a specific speed when the atmospheric density is low and will lead to rapid heating of the spacecraft.
3) Reworking particle system
This has been on the to-do list for a while, I want to clean up and make the particle system far more performance friendly, this is one of the largest performance issues the mod suffers today.
I also want to avoid having to slam the CPU with a lot of CoL calculations while the ship is taking extreme amounts of damage. Even though this happens on another thread, its best not to be so wasteful.
4) UI Improvements
Just like the wind UI, make the rest of the dialogs a bit more snazzy.


Thanks!
