[MawhrinSkel]

The latest development video from us, not recommended if you have a heart condition, definitely recommended if you're looking for a kick!!There's a hell of a lot of new stuff crammed into this one so expect a full debrief on the blog early next week.Essentially though apart from the obvious Ship Configurator:- We have the 3D improvements to the UI, spheres show ranges (Green - deep scan radius, Red - weapons radius, Yellow - status effects radius.)- Status effects (more[/url] info) and scan ranges added.- A new artist makes his mark with some beautiful background artwork.- optimizations to turrets go in and fixed weapons get a rewrite - both now using completely simulated projectiles (more[/url] info.)- All factions (all 9 of them) now represented as entities in the alpha.- Drag selection box rewritten to allow Battlegroup formation moves and grouped Corvette wing moves.- Enhancements to the fleet UI to support drag selection groupings.- Game ported to Unity 5.1Crank it up and enjoy!! (I know my hearts still racing...)
