As a cautionary tale: don't overspend effort on atmosphere and underspend on map glyphs (or porting them over from T5). It looks jarring at the wrong angle

Yes I expect you are correct. It was certainly true of me.
I am retired now and I decided I wanted to start from scratch but this time build something that other people could use. I no longer have customers or bosses yelling at me for not building things right, so I have replaced them with Traveller players. Feels good.

Your work is very cool too. I can only work on mine on days off or weekends, and that’s spotty. Take advantage of retirement!
(Also, I keep getting distracted with other projects, like a Forums reader)

An update!
v0.9.3.2 is being tested. Special thank you to @Dodo98 who has been reviewing logs and such with me offline to keep me honest. He has saved me a ton of work and found more Mongoose creation issues.
While the focus of this coming update is on the Mongoose bottom up bugs he found, I did manage to sneak in OTU route imports.
So this will be coming out once we confirm I have not broken more than I fixed with this version.
v0.10.x comes next. Here are my thoughts and I welcome anyone who may use the program to chime in with what they agree with, disagree with or would like to see.
The focus for the next series of updates will be Routes/Borders/Custom Filters and Colours etc
What I would like to have (as a user myself):
Routes:
1. Allow for different specific routs with customizable colours and labels. Sure I can make the default Route #1 Green and call it Xboat, but the colour and the label should be allowed to be changed by the user
2. Add as many routes as I want
3. Routes can be automatic (using the filter rules to set them) or manual or any combination thereof (i.e. I should be able to manually change a route that was generated automatically)
4. I should be able to change the colour of each or any route later if I want to
5. I should be able to hide/unhide each route individually
6. Bring all route generation and modification into one simple menu (it is scattered right now)
7. Routes that overlap should be displayed side by side. One should never cover the other. I may actually decide on a different offset for each route #. E.g. Route #1 is always down the middle. Route #2 always to one side etc.
8. OTU routes should be downloaded into Route #1/XBoat by default.
9. Special for me: I want to be able to build routes automatically by filtering on combining WTN numbers like GURPS.
Borders:
1. Allow for automatic highlighting sections and build a simple border
2. NOT going to worry about including or dealing with blank hexes right now - if you want to have an area automatically bordered you have to select the blank hexes to include them
3. Not going to allow drawing individual borders for now - just a simple highlight the section and the border will draw around your highlight
4. Borders will always be on one side of the hexside or the other, so two borders can be against one another
5. Be able to change border colours
6. Be able to delete borders
7. OTU borders will be automatically downloaded with OTU imports
8. Borders should be able to be hidden/unhidden - probably not individually. Just borders on or off (unlike routes which I want to have individual choice of)
9. Need to be saved in the JSON save (just like routes)
Advanced Filter Rules:
This works well but we should be able to hide/unhide them instead of just deleting them.

Having BTN numbers/tables for automatic trade route building would be awesome!
