Hello everyone! Welcome to the 177th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week our devs are wrapping up their semesters at school with final project, so it was a quiet week. We continue to have high hopes about next week, though, so stay tuned. Covered this week is the ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶u̶b̶m̶i̶t̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶p̶, faction submitted ships, and the wrap up of the third championship series. First up, a new Very Heavy Fighter has entered the arena - the Calexian Attarus. In a last-minute submission, the Calexian Explorer This week there were 176 kills, 122 with laser, 24 with beam, 18 with plasma, 7 with railguns, 3 with autos, and 2 with torpedoes. The top ship was the Cardinal, with 24 kills, followed by the Iridium with 21. 21 different ships achieved at least 1 kill. We have a tie this week between CptJaller and ManikuCalex, both with 33 kills. CptJaller had 19 deaths, giving him a 1.73 KDR, while ManikuCalex had 10 deaths, giving him a 3.3 KDR. Nice work pilots! If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 21) This week also marks the end of the third Championship cycle! This cycle, there were 2443 kills, 1420 of which came from lasers, 431 from plasma, 213 from autos, 186 from railguns, 184 from beam, and 9 from torpedoes. The top ship was the Excalibur, with 315 kills, followed by Curse of Knowledge at 263 and Gladiator at 258. 36 ships were used to get a kill. Overall, there were 248 players who played the dogfight. The approval rating has increased yet again to 81% positive. There have been 96 likes, and still only 22 dislikes, with 196 favorites. Of the 248 players, 59 managed to snag at least a single kill, and 87 died at least once. We have some cool graphs this week documenting the weekly use of the various weapon types. Check them out! As you can see, no weapon type really has a huge advantage over the others. Laser, Plasma, and Autos make up a majority of kills. The Grand Champion of this series, and the one taking home another exclusive ship skin is... ManikuCalex! With 554 kills and 205 deaths, Maniku put up a KDR of 2.7. Congratulations on the win! Second place goes to devOmega with 463 kills, 453 deaths, and a 1.02 KDR. Keep up the hard work! The highest KDR belongs to Ashleypoprocks123, with a 5-0 record, and Bowshark with 18-3 and a 6 KDR. The lowest KDR is by animelegend98, with .02, dying 43 times to one kill, narrowly edging out BriefMxki who died 42 times to one kill. A shakeup in the highest dev KDR category, with IdyllicDestroyer beating out Juszl with 11-25 or a .44 KDR. If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Championship Series 3) 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 big can ships get? A1: Relatively quite large. An early newsletter described the volume max for the largest class of capital ships, which are the theoretical limit of how big ships can get. Q2: Can I make a fighter that is larger than the hangar? A2: Fighter sizes are pretty well defined, so they shouldn't be a problem. As for how big you model hangar doors or the like, that remains up to factions and their style. There are plenty of solutions for explaining away ships bigger than the doors they came out of - short range teleports for example. Q3: Will vehicles run people over? A3: Probably. We'll be aiming for that to be a feature instead of the roblox default flinging-the-car-into-space, which is RoVerse is a bigger concern than usual. Q4: Factory ships? A4: Production will be tied directly to the construction of structures in faction controlled space as a strategic element of the game. Adding a ship that removes this strategy is unlikely.
