So you can build your ship, your way, with the parts you’ve discovered, crafted, and unlocked:

Linux support is coming along nicely!
This is under our baseline, Kubuntu 21.10 running on a laptop.
Integrated AMD 7 graphics is managing 24-30 FPS:

70-95 FPS, with dips into the high 60s when the ship crosses the ringed planet.
The menu screen’s planet is fascinating to watch. I thought that it was my video card having trouble with the planet’s night side, but there are storms on the planet! The aurora at the top is amazing, too. A stripe of interstellar glowing blue. And then there’s the green burst on the left.
Listening to the music watching the planet do its thing is really cool, and I expect to spend more time just watching it.

Task board inside the space station, to the left of Bad Luck Bart fixing the door to Bad Luck Bart’s Bar.
I have a small ship. How do I know? When I click the information on jobs, it tells me with a green check or red X.
(The problem at this point is that the jobs are not even semi-permanent for the board. But I know it’s probably just to populate the job board to show the gameplay works. So here I go picking a job!)
Task acquired and . . .
. . . challenge accepted!

Customized my ship, the CGS (Cygnus Galaxy Ship) Patches.
The shipping destination marker with distance. Standing still, the distance changes. What a great detail to show that the galaxy is in constant motion.
Yellow arrow indicates my ship’s berth on the space station.
On my way with cargo! (Note, I did bump into the station a few times and had to point straight up to get out then exit between the two tall columns)
Looks like I’ll have to wait for the moon to emerge on the other side.
Full stop while I wait for the moon to orbit.
Here it comes!
In my sights . . .
and there it goes?!
Getting closer . . .
At this point, I had to bounce off the object in space to do the delivery, which caused a collision reaction which (1) stopped my engines and (2) bounced me back [or appeared to?] because my mass is smaller than the lunar mass.
However . . .
Cargo delivered.
