addedThe ships - are a bit unique. A "problem" with introducing new DLC ships is that - there are so many ships already in Void Destroyer 2 - so what would be the point of introducing more of the same? The new ships had to be unique to be interesting.

changedYou start with a fighter - with smart projectiles - projectiles that can turn. The gunship launches mines, generating a mine field. The mines follow the ship, making it a mobile mine field. The destroyer will pull in enemy ships towards itself then open up with a barrage of high yield, fast moving, but slow turning torpedoes - fired from missile turrets that can turn toward their target, to give them better firing angles. The cruiser fires a projectile that - keeps going and going and going... Which means that damage will depend on the angle of impact, and what's behind your target.

changedThe planned price is $2.99 with a 10% discount at launch (the majority of sale proceeds will go to the artist who created these ships).

Got some news - another DLC has been in development - Ashes

Here's the trailer -

Direct Link - Link

Similar to the "Big Red" DLC - the Ashes DLC will feature 2 alternate starts.

The goal is to release the DLC on September 8th.

In the Ashes DLC you quickly gain control of a base capable of building ships. In this play through your early goal could be to supply this base with resources to start building up a fleet, mostly bypassing faction missions and instead focusing on generating credits and/or mining. Ore would be very useful in building ships. In story mode - the base will eventually allow you to build destroyer, cruiser and even dreadnought class ships!

I hope you guys consider wish listing the DLC (that would be a big help - marketing wise!) and consider enhancing your Void Destroyer 2 experience with it!
