Windows is extremely slow to load compared to other platforms.

$time ./src/osirion +connect +quit

Linux: 3.3 seconds
Windows: 23.7 seconds

This may be related to the binaries being produced via mingw:

The best solution is to probably use a Visual C++ toolchain for windows binaries.

Iron commodity model.

Gate Parts commodity model.

http://thoronir.net/osirion/flac_patch.patch

Adds flac support to osirion.

Use: The unfinished jumpgates between Finnmark and Kronenbaden.

Master server and multiplayer server list.

Requires elaborate trade routes, balanced ships and ship hardware, adequate difficulty curve

TODO

- implement all starsystems on the starsystem roadmap

Improved particle systems: weapon effects, engine effects, explosions, smoke...

An improved framework for particle systems unifying all of the above.

DONE
- Particle system code needs to support multiple ejectors per system,
at the moment a particle system is created for each ejector
- Add fine-grained control parameters (alpha start mid end) (radius start mid end) ..
See tremulous particles
- Streak style particles (aka 'trail sprites')
- replace [ejector] with [sprites] [flares] [trail] etc
- ejector thrust trigger
- ejector impulse trigger
- ejector explosion trigger

TODO
- Flame style particles -> needs thinking, how to do it exactly

Weapons, shields, armour...

TODO

- Shields & armor
- Mining equipment ?
- Misc equipment

DONE

- Weapons

Attaching the model/weapon to its associated 'slot' on the ship, and handling the position of said slot.

Models for cannons and turrets to be used in the trade menu.
The colors used on the model should reflect the projectile color.

Laser: red (civilian)
Blaster: yellow (military)
Ion: light blue (lindblade)
Neutron: green
Metrion: pink

TODO
- Proximity mine
- Smart mine

- Laser turret
- Improved laser turret

- Blaster cannon
- Improved blaster cannon
- Blaster turret

- Ion cannon
- Ion turret

- Neutron cannon
- Improved neutron cannon
- Neutron turret
- Improved neutron turret

- Metrion accelerator

- Singularity projector (fires missiles)

DONE
- Dumb mine
- Laser cannon
- Improved laser cannon
- Advanced laser cannon

Pseudo-dynamic economy support.

Ideas:
- Stations and planets are supplied by NPC convoys
- Prices fluctuate according to availability

Fuel System.

The purchase and selling of ship equipment such as weapons.

Implement beam particles for tractoring cargo.

The tracktor beam is currently completely server-side,
this will require additional engine infrastructure or a hack.

Instead of 'beams' a general 'effect' could be created.
It is possible to create an entity holding a model with
a particle system (like projectiles) representing the 'beam-in'
effect (think star trek transporters).

On the other hand, implementing beam style would open the door
for beam weapons.
