Pirate base models, to serve as NPC headquarters.
Several generic models are required.

Reputation influences prices, docking rights and NPC hostility.

To ease the transition to a multitexturing rendering environment, I propose that we fully adopt Quake 3 shader scripting. Currently, we support a simpler version with a single texture stage in mind.

DONE

- Support for material with multiple layers

TODO

- OpenGL multitexture support
- Improve syntax

Exmaple of current implementation:

shader/path/name
{
qer_editorimage path/to/texture
{
map path/to/texture
entity
}
{
map path/to/glow_texture
fullbright
blendfunc blend
}
}

---------------------------------
Quake 3:

shader/path/name
{
qer_editorimage path/to/texture
other_keywords
{
map path/to/texture
}
{
map path/to/texture2
blendfunc ...
}

Weapons, shields, armour...

TODO

- Shields & armor
- Mining equipment ?
- Misc equipment

DONE

- Weapons

Master server and multiplayer server list.

The camera handling is rather confusing. It would be best to retire the third-person "Turret" view and have a cockpit view and an external, third-person view.

Freelook should still work on both modes, but the camera angle should not be reset when leaving freelook.

TODO

• remove Turret view
• use shift+mousewheel to zoom in/out
• remember freelook angle
• remove 360-degree rotation limitation
• remove control lock (spacebar)
• do not pass ship control events when in a menu

If you box-select a number of entities, and you want to move them, you have to drag the active selected entity.
CLicking any other selected (highlighted) entity will deselect the other members in the selection.

Dragging any member of the selection should work.
