Hello everyone! Welcome to the 167th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. We're going to jump right into this weeks progress with the release of three new fighters. First, we have the Omarus from Calexian Industries:  Next is the Atticus from Calexian Industries:  Last is the Cerean Futuresight from Calexian Industries:  How will the ground fighting work? Is that like war clan gun fighting or do you mean low altitude? Week 11 Leaderboard Stats ManikuCalex has retained their title as dogfight champion this week with 222 kills and a 4.18 KDR. Weapon of choice: Laser Ship of choice: Excalibur If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 11) Each week we compile a Q&A section here whenever there are any new questions posted on the RoVerse Community group wall or in the Community Discord Server. Be sure to join if you have any questions about RoVerse: ROBLOX Group: https://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2948290 Discord server: https://discord.gg/npxBGwJ Q1: How will the ground fighting work? Is that like war clan gun fighting or do you mean low altitude? Melee combat? A1: On planets we plan to have tanks, planes, boats, and more. Yes to melee combat too. We want to support a variety of handheld weapon types. Q2: Are civilian ships such as miners, cargo, transportation/luxury under the same category of class sizes as military vessels? A2: They fit under the same class names but don't necessarily have the same limits as military vessels. We'll release more information on this as it becomes available. Q3: Are unclaimed planets going to have base populations, or will they have to be colonized for population growth? A3: Currently the plan is to, when we release planets, have them as being uninhabited by any players/player NPCs. That might change in the future if we wanted to add NPC civilizations to support the game's economy.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the 166th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week brings an update from our ship builder Saet'zar, three new beautiful fighters for you to use, and a special announcement for an upcoming community event! Introducing the Blacktip Class Battleship alone, and with escorts!    Our first fighter being added this week is the mainMiles by Main Incorporated.  Next is the Paraponera by Tenebruzian Monarchy.  Lastly is an updated version of an existing ship, the Sentinel Mk.II from the Enigma Brotherhood.  In case you missed it, we have a special message this week from the community: The next Ro-Verse Community event has been announced! It will be called Hallows Eve. It will launch sometime in the end of October and it will last for two weeks. The main spotlights of this event revolve into in one of the darkest and terrifying places within the Ro-verse lore, The Void. There will be exclusive rewards and three activities to participate in. - A brand new map for the Dogfight Alpha - A new mission that takes players in the depths of the Void to fight a new threat. - A re-work to the Light's End raid, an already active community created event last year that has been re-worked and given new rewards. This community event will be mainly built by ManikuCalex, scripted by IdyllicDestroyer, advised and aided with EmperorDyrith's lore and funded by Vaktus. More information and release period, along with teasers to be announced, so stay tuned!  Week 10 Leaderboard Stats Shocking news this week! ManikuCalex has managed to achieve the number one spot in this week's leaderboard with 53 kills and therby overthrowing Imaboss2122's longstanding reign! Weapon of choice: Laser Ship of choice: Estival Excursion If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 10) Each week we compile a Q&A section here whenever there are any new questions posted on the RoVerse Community group wall or in the Community Discord Server.

A1: Yes, we do eventually want to support these peripheral controls to help add to the dogfighting experience. Q2: How do you plan on supporting large quantities of player in a single system? A2: We plan to host multiple servers for a single system when it is experiencing a large amount of player traffic. Structures and their data will replicate across these systems though player ships will not. Q3: How will travel between worlds/galaxies/systems work? A3: Most travel between systems will take place via our system of jump gates. Approaching a gate will give the player the option of traveling to the adjoining system. They will also have the option of picking the server (if there's more than one) that they want to join. Once they confirm they decision, they are whisked away with a warp animation while all of the backend code saves, and transfers the player's data to a new server.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the 165th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week our developers are starting college, preparing for deployment, or out of country, so it's been a rather busy time for us all. We are, however, pleased to release three more ships for your enjoyment in the Dogfight Alpha! First up, is the Dal'Jvikk Series Injector:  Next, we have the Dragonfly, another ship from our friends at Calexian Industries:  Lastly, we have Retaliator by Solerian Industries:  Week 9 Leaderboard Stats This may be the closest set of kill stats we've had thus far in our championship series! With a total of 128, Imaboss2122 is this weeks leader, but... with 127 kills is ManikuCalex. So close! Weapon of choice: Laser Ship of choice: Nearly a 3-way tie between the Sentinel, Excalibur, and Estival Excursion If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 9) Each week we compile a Q&A section here whenever there are any new questions posted on the RoVerse Community group wall or in the Community Discord Server. Be sure to join if you have any questions about RoVerse: ROBLOX Group: https://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2948290 Discord server: https://discord.gg/npxBGwJ Q1: How will updates work? Because all the factions will want to add in there ships will the updates always be at one time so to prevent server shutdowns during a massive space battle? A1: Great question! When RoVerse receives updates that require a shutdown of all running server instances, it will likely be scheduled in advance. This is to ensure that no unexpected shutdown occurs. The last thing we'd want to see is a massive space battle terminated because of an unexpected update so we'll do our best to keep the players in the loop. Q2: Megastructures like orbital rings and arcologies? A2: We have considered the use of megastructures in special galaxy events. Player owned megastructures will be extremely rare if they do come into existence at all. The bottom line here is the impact these structures will have on both performance and overall game-play. We'll take this into consideration as we move forward. Q3: What requirements must be met before a faction is considered the "owner" of a system? A3: To be considered as an "owner" of a system, factions must reach a minimum amount of influence points. Influence points are gained through a number of different ways (permanent structures, economic output, faction activity). Once a faction has met those requirements, they are considered "in the running" for system ownership with any other factions that have a legitimate presence there.
