Today's Aerostrike progress report:

1) Setting up a weapon statistics table for balancing and design purposes.
2) Modified the UI healthbar system. It now adds extensions to the right end of the bar for every extra 100 points. It also obscures unused space.

A WIP screenshot of Project MF-02, showcasing the updated healthbar system. The healthbar now adds extensions at the right end of the bar, indicating an excess of 100 shield or hull points. Additionally, currently unused portions of the healthbar will appear noticeably darker For example, in this picture the player ship has 300 shields (2 extensions and a full healthbar), and 150 hull (1 extension and half of a healthbar).

Today's Aerostrike progress report:

1) NPCs can now create their own randomized patrolling route. One use of this behavior is to make NPCs search an area when there are no valid targets.
2) Finished setting up the automatic door locking and unlocking system.

Today's Aerostrike progress report:

1) Been busy doing an online course on AI. It's fun, but it's also really tricky to make it play tic-tac-toe and minesweeper.
2) Finished setting up a new drone NPC. It projects shields around itself to protect allies.
