Orbiter Galaxy is a project that will one day enable Orbinauts to travel a complete, moderately believable galaxy (despite all the efforts I make to make the generator accurate, this shouldn't be mistaken for an astronomical program. It belongs into the realm of hard science fiction), with a nice galaxy map that allows a maximum of oversight.

For bug reports and suggestions, please use this thread here.
Roadmap:
Version 0.5:
First Demo of the procedural galaxy generator and starmap, with a catalogue of existing stars
major purpose: to give people a glimpse of what's to come, but majorly to get input about improvements for the generator.
**Completed**
Version 0.6:
Alpha version of the actual add-on that enables the user for the first time to travel the galaxy (for even less than 30 Altair-dollars!!). The procedural generator will not be significantly updated since version 0.5.
purpose: to give people a first opportunity to actually travel the galaxy in Orbiter, and to iron out technical bugs (like CTDs and stuff...)
**completed**
Version 0.7:
Enhanced playability by relyability of all included features: Interface overhaul, integrated FTL-Jumppoint system, consistency (you can leave stuff in other systems and return to it), fixed up texture generation and more options for texture caching to give a wider choice between performance and looks.
purpose: To have an intermediate version of the add-on that is not complete, but palyable and stable in all supported features.
**in developement**
Version 0.8:
Colonization and procedural starports.
purpose: testing out the code for procedural starports and get input on how to make them better.
**not even on the scratchboard yet**
Version 0.9
full feature Beta with majorly overhauled version of the procedural generator
purpose: Check out the revised generator code, and hunting down all the buggers still hiding under the hood.
**somewhen in the more-or-less plausible midfuture**
Version 1.0:
(hopefully) bugfree final release
purpose: well, people having fun, I guess...
**I hope I live to see the day**
