addedAfter observing for the last few weeks, it became clear the core gameplay of Space Fighters was missing something, and so I have added some fun and exciting features to spice up the gameplay experience!
addedIn order to encourage team work between players and to add more things for players to do while playing, I added four different classes of ships, each meant to fulfill a different role in our battlefield of asteroids and capture points.
changedThe RocketshipThe rocketship is less a rocket-engine power ship and more a ship fitted with a rocket launcher. This awesome rocket launching ship moves slower than other ships and has a slower reloading time for it's rocket launcher, but at the same time it offers unmatched firepower and deals a lot of damage to anyone unlucky enough to get hit with one of it's rockets.
addedThe Gatling ShipThe last special ship that was added isn't called the 'Gatling Ship' for no reason. It is fitted with two gatling cannons on either side of it's wings for maximum, quick fire power. If I were minding my own business capturing control points and I saw one of those heading towards me, I would start running pretty quickly!
changedThe Gatling ShipComing in at fourth place is the regular ol' scout ship we all got used to and loved. Battle tested and proven, the standard 'scout' ship has received an upgrade to it's control points capture system, allowing it to capture controls points more aggressively and more quickly.

The Rocketship
The rocketship is less a rocket-engine power ship and more a ship fitted with a rocket launcher. This awesome rocket launching ship moves slower than other ships and has a slower reloading time for it's rocket launcher, but at the same time it offers unmatched firepower and deals a lot of damage to anyone unlucky enough to get hit with one of it's rockets.
The Medic
What kind of teamwork based game would Space Fighters be if it didn't offer some kind of medic/healer role for players to help each other with? Meet the medical healing ship, it fires a beam of sci-fi filled medical healing gasses which can repair any team member ship!
The Gatling Ship
