- ~~Hover over objects to see basic info~~
  - ~~Adjust position of basic info~~
  - Add animation
- Click object to zoom in and see detailed info
- Solar system minimap

Start of gameplay design
- More detailed information for every object and object type
  - Resources/life forms/buildings/cities/atmosphere/etc.
- Detailed object view will allow interaction with the object
  - Explore object/construct buildings
- Resource collection
  - Build ships to send/space stations/mining rigs
- Simple tech tree
- Game loop
