Modules

As said before Nodes(Hull) and Modules are the principal components to build a ship. Nodes will build the 'body' while Modules will add extra features and behaviors like maximum speed, acceleration, radar range and alot more.

NODES (Hull)

The hull construction works like in Minecraft in which blocks (NODEs) are placed to shape the ship. The standard look of a NODE is a cube, but there are several types of "slopes" to smooth out the edges. I just upload a video that i would like to share:

MODULES - Engines

Engines are what move and rotate the ship. There are 3 properties that the engines imply in the ship:

  • "Acceleration";
  • "Maximum speed";
  • "Maneuverability". 

The bigger the ship, the more engines it will need for it to be able to move. Let's assume that we have 2 ships of different sizes but with the…

Its basic function is to store something inside, so in its basic form it provides more space for storing cargo. In the last update I created the possibility of placing equipment inside the Containers, in othe…

Weapons

A weapon its just another kind of Module. Before just placing a weapon over the ship hull, player needs to search for the better place to put it, since all weapons have their own litmits with shooting angles and ranges. Player can assign a key to activate each weapon or just assign a key to all of…
