Well. Ive spent the last two hours looking at the code saying to myself “who wrote this junk!!” 
I think most of the major camera and render target issues are solved. I still have one oddity switching between an ortho map cam and the pilot view (my bug Im sure). But this is good, since it means I can now update missions and start updating various parts.
Ive decided too, I will update opensteer (f18 uses an older clunkier version I did a while back) and Im contemplating putting some of the tiny-ecs server in - it might be nice for adding customizations. Will see.
