- middle-mouse orbit camera
- smooth wheel zoom across local, system, and universe scales

- game state
- network statistics
The viewer now consumes richer celestial metadata from the backend:
- star kind and star count
- planet type, shape, moon count, and orbital elements
- resource node source kind such as `asteroid-belt` and `gas-cloud`
Planets and moons are not simulated as networked entities. Their positions are reconstructed client-side from snapshot time plus orbital configuration.
## Simulation Status

- refining / fabrication
- faction growth through ship and outpost production
- pirate pressure and combat

- asteroid belts for ore

- added a plain-text network statistics readout
- reworked the camera with smoother zoom, orbit, panning, and marquee selection
- cleaned up several viewer HUD elements and removed redundant panel content
- expanded the backend world into a large procedural galaxy with elevated vertical variance
- added deterministic orbital metadata for planets and client-side orbital animation in the viewer
- added moon rendering in the viewer
- added backend-generated asteroid belts and gas clouds as resource sources
- injected the `Sol` system into the generated galaxy
## Current Known Limitations
@@ -94,6 +114,9 @@ The runtime model still follows the intended layered control architecture:
- the viewer is still observer-focused
- no command submission UI yet
- system/universe transitions are improved but still need tuning in feel and art direction
- the galaxy is much larger now, so viewer performance and visual density need active tuning
- moon rendering is procedural from counts, not authored moon-by-moon data
- resource extraction behavior still treats all resource nodes generically
- piracy and faction growth are still functional rather than strategically deep
- no persistence for saves, seeds, or reconnect state
