Hello everyone! Welcome to the 174th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week, work has continued on the economy system, we have a new dev working on planet concepts, turret classes have undergone testing in preparation for their official release, and, as always, more faction ships have been rigged. First up, the faction ships: Ninazu Vertigo Vaction Arbitrator Jitaran Finch Wreck Restored Jitaran Finch ...and the House of Akatana Suzume 0-1 The much-anticipated turret classes are well on their way to full deployment, but first they must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they won't corrupt anyone's save data, cause a lot of errors, or do anything weird. A few bugs have been found and patched this week in limited testing, most having to do with equipping turrets. Since most ships already have light turrets mounted, exchanging them with turrets of the proper class was a particular challenge. A new dev has joined the team with an interest in planetary environments. Verne🌲 will be working on concept art for biomes and special locations throughout the galaxy. Below we have some initial work describing an ancient planet that you may find somewhere in the stars. We look forward to his further creative work. This week, there were 626 kills in the dogfight, 409 with lasers, 141 with plasma, 51 with autos, 24 with railguns, and 1 with beams. The top ship was the Gladiator with 118 kills, narrowly edging out the Curse of Knowledge with 114, and with a good margin on the Excalibur at 95. The pilot with the most kills this week is devOmegax with 185 kills, 85 deaths, and a 2.17 KDR. If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 18) We also collected data over the Hallows Eve Event, to see who was the best in the limited-time event map. Over the duration of the event, there were 325 kills in the Core of Nothing map, 211 of them with lasers, 81 with plasma, 18 with railguns, 10 with beams, and 5 with auto. The top ship was the Gladiator with 72 kills, followed by Excalibur at 42, Curse of Knowledge with 35, and Sentinel Mk.II with 31. The person who topped the leaderboard on the special community-built map was... ManikuCalex With 107 kills and a 3.45 KDR, beating out devOmegax who had a late rally but couldn't catch up. If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Hallows Eve) 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 ship storage be calculated, in simple terms? A1: Quite simply, ship storage will be calculated by ship volume, reduced by a percentage. No cramming 10,000,000 boxes in a light cargo ship. Civilian ships, like cargo carriers will have a special stat category for cargo, in which you can spend more or fewer points, creating such interesting combinations like a huge, slow hauler that can carry 10x as much cargo as the next ship, or the fast smuggler that doesn't have much space but is untouchable. Q2: Does the amount of armor or shielding increase ship price? A2: Yep, most important stats are considered when calculating ship price. So if you submit a ship and don't spend many points, it will be cheaper. It just might not be useful. Q3: Is this game ever going to be real? A3: Certainly.
