[Week 21] Passengers and Station Markets

I worked on logistics routing and station weapons. Freight planning accounts for travel time, available cargo space and how urgently a destination needs supplies. Loads can wait to be combined, with a timeout for dispatch.

Station blaster cells now support separate firing banks. Each bank checks its firing direction and line of sight, and firing consumes both electrical power and weapon supplies.

Passenger transport now uses the logistics fleet. At a station, I can choose a destination, browse available ferries and reserve a seat. The service handles pickup, boarding and arrival, with different fares for ride-along seats, general seating, first class and private cabins.

There is also handling for a ferry losing propulsion, power or its passenger seat. Cancelled journeys refund the fare, and recovery code handles getting a passenger back to a station.

The model catalog grew with taxis, a limousine, restaurants and citadel variants. The restaurant additions include an orbital diner, a Japanese restaurant and a larger fine-dining building.

I added a market function for station logic cells and connected it to the docked interface. The market browser has listings for ships, residences and stations. I also revised the limousine and passenger-bay interiors and their seat positions.

Warp and NPC corrections continued alongside this, including changes to warp audio.
