We'll likely release a version that is usable, then add more stuff in a "dot release" down the road. We're trying to do this in a sustainable way so we don't feel deadline pressure (such pressures are for work, not fun

).

Stuff that is on my list of things to do—anyone who wants to help is welcome!

Finish my Standard Type 2D model.

Finish my kitbashed Aux Seaplane tender.

Improved (and varied) tarps for on deck (sun protection for men on deck).

Some outhouses for the cargo-troopships (yep, you read that right).

Hammock mantlets (hammocks used as splinter protection, you've seen them on pictures, they look like sandbags). (this is already in progress

)

Canvas ventilator extensions (seen on ships in the tropics, they frequently look like large arrows hanging above deck).

Add in a lot of coastal traffic (barges, coasters, etc close inshore).

Make some new gun platforms (my 3d skils aren't that good yet, and these relatively simple structures will go a LONG way).
