Website Status
This page simply lists the status of the website. This includes recent updates, things to do, and what projects are in progress.

I've been working on a player database. I setup account creation (by invitation only), account management, character upload, character viewer, and (finally) a character editor.
The objective is to make character management and updates easier but also (eventually) to include a combat resolution system, a store for gear, and a navigation system.

Finally got a few minutes to get back to this. The downside to hobbies is that they always have to come second to nearly everything else in life! In any event, a few minor updates, mostly I put stub files in for all links so you shouldn't hit any dead end pages.
Now I just need to find time to actually write the pages! Hopefully soon. I have some big plans just not sure when I'll get time to do them all. I want to do a character database for the players to track their progress, a navigation database so players can be more involved in plotting their movements, and a combat front end for ships and maybe characters to make the process a bit more automated and easier. So lots of pokers in the fire just not much time to do anything with them.

Revamped the menu system to make navigation easier and pop open menus more obvious. I think I have all the links I need.

Today I finished the cosmetic changes to the character generation rules. Also corrected a few errors and omissions I found along the way.
I also reviewed the skill lists and descriptions (briefly) and made some corrections.

This is the first update for the site. At this point, I am busily moving all of the current files into the new format. I, no doubt, will need to tweak some files to update the rules to match the current system. The house rules have pretty much come full circle and are back much closer to standard Traveller.
A short list of what is done, left to do, and in progress:
- Basic rules are in place.
- Starships, Trade and Commerce, and related rules are not done.
- Empire over view is done.
- Empire map and subsector maps are done.
- Subsector mainworld details are done but not posted, extended system data is not done (not sure if I'm going to generate that yet or as needed).
- I have a database design for storing system data which will allow for dynamic subsector pages (not maps just data) as well as possible nav computer that will allow you to query the database like a ship's nav computer.
- Races are done.
- Character Generation is done but I'm reformatting it a bit for easier reading and navigation.
- Skill lists and descriptions are done but I want to review the skills to see if any are superfluous.
At this point, I would say I'm probably 60% done, maybe more, with the core site. I have lots of things I want to do but none are necessary to game startup.
