[h1][b]Space maneuvers[/b][/h1] Big update time! There have been a few cases in which I've had the feedback that the current battles look a bit static. The effects are nice, but the ships weren't really moving during combat. This update will address that issue. Your ships will now enter space acrobatics and will dance around the enemy ships in an attempt to avoid projectiles. At the same time the majority of their guns will remain trained upon their victims! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35421124/8a4d9cc9eb47725b770cff8267cff49ce0a39cf0.gif[/img] You can toggle this behavior on or off in the bottom right of your screen. All selected ships will then adjust their behavior accordingly. [h1][b]Superweapon[/b][/h1] In addition to that we now also have The Unmaker! A superweapon that shoots a weaponized sun towards the enemy. Technology has come a long way in the future and they've managed to keep the sun stable enough to launch it towards whatever enemy target you wish. It will lose cohesion upon impact though, and will deal catastrophic damage to nearby targets.

Instructions can be found in the workshop. Right now modding is limited to being able to uploading 3D models from your favorite franchise. Or models you've made yourself of course. This way you can replace all the ships you want and modify things to suit your own taste.

Right now I have enabled those for the following ships: [list] [*] Ant [*] Corvette [*] Frigate [*] Destroyer [/list] Should people like it I will also enable them for all other ships. Or perhaps make it a toggle so that people can choose for themselves!
