Implemented a buggy inter-cluster capable journey planner, with a popup that lists most of the possible paths between 2 selected systems, either inside of a single cluster, or between 2 clusters.

Finally, I added cluster straits to the site!
Cluster straits are those straits between systems in two different clusters. In the setting, cluster straits are harder to navigate safely than regular straits.
The maps page and the individual cluster map pages show the cluster straits as orange curvy lines, with a label naming the system on the other end of the cluster strait.
On the individual cluster map pages, clicking on the cluster strait or its label navigates to the cluster map for the other end of the cluster strait.
I need to work on the code to position the cluster strait labels, they are currently positioned to where the cluster strait would be if it was drawn as a straight line.
Also, after staring at these maps for hours while working on the code, I decided I liked the "circular" view of the map, so I changed the default to that view.
Next up: Fix the labels, tweak the positioning of the cluster strait lines so they curve around the systems in the cluster (instead of sometimes running underneath them,) adding a page that shows all the clusters in relationship to each other, and adding the ability to plan a trip between clusters.

Game Information
I re-worked some of the text for the Local Cluster Creation page and added diagrams for the "Link systems" example section. I also added a short description of how we allowed players to modify system attributes after systems were linked up with FTL routes.
New Features
Reworked the pages that were image heavy (like the sapient species page) so that links from the table of contents were not nerfed by the Markdown rendering engine.

Game Information
Today I updated the summary for Game Session 16 and added a summary for Game Session 17.
New Features
- I added a news section for little notes like this.
- Last week I changed the cluster maps page so that there was a separate page for each cluster, including a page with a nice list of clusters.
- I'm continuing to work on user registration process, adding in email capability for email verification and password reset. I want to get this finished before I start work on editing these pages in-place.
