addedHello everyone. I know many of you are eager to see new starships or features, but my recent focus has shifted to game balance and numerical tuning .
changedFor weapons, I've balanced key attributes like Time-to-Kill and range across several archetypes: versatile Pulse Lasers, armor-piercing Flak Cannons, shield-breaking Beams, and high-burst Missiles. The goal is to make each feel unique and viable.
changedThe survival system offers two distinct defenses: heavy, non-regenerating Armor and power-draining Shields, creating meaningful trade-offs in ship fitting.
changedI am also fine-tuning the broader interplay between Mass, Thrust, and limited Power capacity.
changedDesigning the core game math has been a complex challenge, but it's all to ensure that every player's choice is tactically meaningful. Admittedly, this is my first time working solo on a project of this scale. It's been a tremendous learning experience, and I sincerely hope it all comes together smoothly.

While this means fewer flashy visuals, these adjustments are crucial for a polished experience.
