Introducing Orbital's first major update.

I've packed in the following features:

• Random events can occur upon launching of an Ark - random events will occur and the player will have to decide carefully as choices do have concequences!
• Upgrade system - spend research points in ark and colony wide abilities, improve the capacity of your ships, the time it takes to build an ark and more.

Bug fixes:

• Chunky general refactor of classes and objects
• Addressed various ark launch bugs

Misc:

• Planetary trajectories slightly reduced for a cleaner look
• Death effect of arks changed for a new look

What's Next:

Planet stability meter, this will need to be balanced by players making considered decisions during random events. The lower the stability the higher the time to build an ark! This will also come in tandem with a bunch of new random events relating to stability.

Ark Integrity, the arks will soon have a health bar which will take a battering when flying through asteroids or too close to the sun, or even from random events.
