Made some visible changes:
- paste coords to iflight
- Single click coord select w/modern browsers
- Hyper/iflight random coord placeholder text
- Fixed PM link on home page (which I broke)
- Fixed discord news to show all planets probed instead of just the first, and like news events
- Shift-click gathering for +/- 5 at a time
- Building queue ticks down while loaded
- Fixed news spam w/the 2 nearbys upgrade - now just puts the same nearby detected once per login

Put in about 44 hours since the last post - part support, more than half restructuring code, and a bit into features as well. Seems even simple features are received well, so I'll try to keep up on a few small ones as I go through. Hopefully won't put in so much time this month though - still need to pass quals, and it's after 5 am here ;).

I'll keep uplifting the code in my free time, fix any major bugs, hopefully create fewer than I fix (and hopefully those are easy to find and fix :S ), and we'll see where things go from there.

Minimum number of SLOC which still need changing (html building in strings, references to former framework structures): 4,111. Actual count much higher, including moving embedded SQL out, etc. Minimum number of files to touch: 229.

That's actually an improvement from earlier - I think last time I checked lines were around 7k - though I've been avoiding a few really nasty files, so the work is not linear in effort :).

I don't know what the last bit of that means but let me be first to say Thank You! for all the work you've been putting into this game. These small quality of life improvements and fixes definitely go a long way. I saw the ghost coords in the hyperjump field and at first thought it was pulled from my clipboard automatically but then realized it kept changing. Then I was worried those coords were being leaked from somewhere so I hyperjumped to one and saw it led to empty space lol. Really enjoying all of these updates and thanks for repairing the pm link on the homepage, I knew I wasn't crazy. I'm not sure what the discord news you're referring to is. We have a new feed in Discord?

Yeah, seriously considered pulling from the clipboard, but I'm not a fan as a user of sites which pop up random permission requests, and clipboard is a pretty sensitive permission. Maybe I can unlock it under upgrades or something, making it clearly opt-in and creating a relationship, making my motivation to not abuse it plain. Huh - not a bad upgrade actually.

There's something DAngel can add to SL Satellite easier than I can add it to the game, ironically :).

Good insight, I don't know how useful a draw from clipboard would be when you could simply CTRL V into the field. I'd probably continue pasting manually honestly.

Hi Iiri, it was a long long time for me not to play SL.
How are you?
I wanna ask about Timezone setting.
I can't set time to +9 and above.
Please help. Thanks.
