Item systems Brainstorm

New systems needed:

• Player hangar, might need to be an overlay until scene change is done
  • In game store to buy and sell stuff
  • Crafting station
    • Crafted items should be worth more than the sum of their parts, rewarding players for crafting their own items and allowing someone to just sit in the hangar and craft forever and get super rich if that's what makes them happy
  • Item management to move items between aircraft and the hangar
• Player profile to store their stats
  • Game progress i.e. tech tree
  • What items they have in their personal hangar and onboard the aircraft
  • How much money they have
  • Standings with different factions
• Tech tree (and initial options)
  • Pilot skills
    • Aircraft proficiency stat bonuses
