Greetings Gamers and Game Developers!

My name is Hypnotron and am the sole developer for a new SciFi Starship simulator.  The simulation is a cross between Starfleet Command, Dwarf Fortress, and The Sims.  As the player, you control and manage a large capital ship with over 100 crew on board.  I will test increasing this number to 1,000.

Keep in mind that all artwork is placeholder, however the graphics are intentionally minimalist so that I can render large number of components as well as dedicate more processing towards the simulation of how all these components and crew interact.
