Rebuild the camera around a single persistent MainCamera and the
Camera System design-doc model: two framing modes (Orbit = inspection/
docked tactical, Follow = track the ship) plus Cinematic as a boolean
overlay (free rotation + HUD hide + live gameplay), not a third mode.
Critical fixes (gap analysis A1-A3):
- A1: scenes now *reconfigure* the one startup camera instead of spawning
a second one; despawn_in_system_scene no longer destroys MainCamera, so
the session never loses its camera. .single_mut() on MainCamera now
succeeds during flight.
- A2: Cinematic is a real overlay — toggle (KeyC), free-look rotation in
any framing, HUD hidden while active, gameplay keeps running.
- A3: removed dead FollowCamera component + setup_follow_camera; tracking
is unified in track_camera_target.
Gaps B1-B6:
- B1: adopted doc model (Cinematic overlay, not exclusive mode).
- B2: canonical isometric tactical_rotation() baseline.
- B3: smooth reframing via OrbitFocusGoal exponential-damp tween.
- B4: non-zero CameraState defaults.
- B5: consolidated the three orbit-control impls into one (dropped the
starting_base local control + its Euler variant).
- B6: track_camera_target keeps OrbitCamera.target synced to the focus
entity every frame.
Docked view now frames the actual station at a tactical iso distance.
cargo check + clippy clean for all newly-authored code; net -10 lines
(more dead code removed than added). 42 tests pass.
Implement the final onboarding step where the player loads into their
selected starting system docked at a station.
New features:
- Create in_system module for system-scale gameplay
- Spawn player ship docked at highest-population station
- Display station info panel with undock button
- Position camera for cinematic docked view with orbit controls
Implementation details:
- in_system/mod.rs: Plugin setup with DockedState and ActiveSystem resources
- in_system/scene.rs: System/POI spawning and player ship docked positioning
- in_system/docked.rs: Docked state management and UndockEvent
- in_system/ui.rs: Docked UI with station details and undock button
- Reuse existing POI spawning patterns from galaxy/contents.rs
- Select docking station by highest population (better for new players)
Modified files:
- Add in_system module exports to gameplay/mod.rs
- Register InSystemPlugin in main.rs
- Update orbit camera control for InGame state
- Re-export GeneratedStation and STARTING_SHIPS for use by in_system
The player now completes onboarding by loading into a system view with
their ship docked at a station, ready for gameplay.
