Mad polishing... my elbow is sore.
The last couple of weeks have been taken up by polishing what we have so that
Brad could show it to some people. We weren't too happy about that. The code was
fragile and it looked like poop. But, we managed to pull together something
halfway decent. Here's a shot for you...

Things to look for:
-
The planets now have colored halos to make them stand out
more.
-
We've got more text on the main screen.
-
Check out the ship context area.
-
The minimap is being fleshed out.
-
The ships are now two tone. We're trying to allow users to
customize their ship colors.
-
Some more temporary ship designs are in.
-
The planet Dester 1 has some overlay icons.
-
There's text on the main view.
-
The star background has been reworked. Check out the nebula.
-
The selection cursor is different.
There's also a bunch of stuff that I didn't show. We did so much
it's hard to fit on one screen.
