I really like how in Battlestar Galactica they launch Vipers via catapults instead of having flight deck like in most sci-fi series. Here's a clip replicating it.😎

Not sure if any other series does the same thing which is a shame really.

Introducing the Emergency Failsafe Bubble, for those inevitable "oh shit" moments. 🥳

Hopefully, this should reduce the amount of untimely deaths overall and give the player some breathing room on hectic situations.

I’m a big fan of Battlestar Galactica and the Macross series.

You know what these two distinctly different franchises have in common?
That’s right… nukes! ☢️ (Reaction weapons in Macross) 🤣

Did someone call the cavalry? 🫡

A fleet of ships dropping out of warp mid-battle engaging the enemy never gets old. 🤣

Been a while — totally not because my main ISP has been kapoot for 23 days straight and counting! 🤣

Anyway, here’s some gameplay featuring the new bullet time and mini-dash mechanics. What do you think?

Animated pie chart took way longer than expected. 🤣

At least it looks a lot less static now, lol. Clicking the icons simulates power drain when a module is active.

Do I really need those bars and pie charts in the UI?
Nope, not really — but they sure look cool. 😍

Trying to slip past the new Shrike-class heavy frigate’s point-defense system…

Yeah, I definitely need to nerf this one a bit. 😅

We’re diving into some of the more exotic tech today~ 👽

Testing the new Magnetar-tipped MIRV missiles, which magnetize enemy ships so they attract projectiles — and sometimes, other ships.

Watcha think? 😅

Any fellow A-10 Warthog fans out there?

I call this the "Brrrrrt Build" — just slap a rotary barrel on your standard Sentinel autocannon and unleash a ridiculous amount of damage with a press. 🤣

This is me trying to replicate the famous Macross Missile Massacre in my game~ 🤣

I'd say its close enough. 🔥

Did anyone say #trailertuesday~👀

Got our sparkly new trailer up along with a demo for the #SteamNextFest ~

Its pretty barebones though, but if you're interested do head to our steam page and take it for a spin, feedbacks are appreciated. 🤣

Me right now with the number of bugs in my game. 😂

T-minus 8 days to Steam Next Fest—and the demo’s nowhere near done. Whew. 😱

🔧 Weapon Test Log #03: Heavy WPN Strategem

Field test success! Our new call-in railgun packs EMP warheads for massive disruption. 🥳

Perfect when you need extra oomph on the battlefield — but brace for that recoil! ⚡️🔩

🔧 Weapon Test Log #02: MIRV Modifications

Swapped the standard missile body for a MIRV type — now it deploys smaller projectiles mid-flight.

Curious how our weapon system works? Check out our dev log below! 🚀

Our UI guy is cooking!🔥👀

After two weeks of prototyping we finally nailed down the boot up sequence and design for our main UI!

Totally not evangelion/gundam inspired~ 😇

🔧 Strategem Test Log #02: Flak Barrage
Called in the Avalon Support for a little “crowd control.”

🎯 Deployed forward-facing flak cannons
💥 Spews a storm of shrapnel downrange

More Dakka is always the solution~

🔧 Weapon Test Log #01: EMP Rounds
Swapped out standard warheads for EMP variants on the autocannons.

⚡ Halved the damage
🧠 But now it fries circuitries and stuns ships

Might be a little OP...
Okay maybe a lot OP. 🤣

Testing deployment of support stratagems launched from your support craft somewhere on the map.

Definitely not Super Earth approved~ 🤣
