Hello everyone! Welcome to the 198th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week has been a busy one for our devs, with final exams and presentations, but we managed to work out a few things. Skinny has been working steadily on meshing our extensive list of ships, Idyllic has rigged up a new faction ship, and we have made some changes to the Alpha Dogfight in preparation for the Capital Update. First up we have the Kiengir Zi'il class light fighter, brought to you by Onigo. A change that has already been made to the Alpha Dogfight is that all turret mounting costs have been reduced to 0. After thorough review and communication with our community, we have determined that charging players to change their loadouts - while accurate to the eventual game mechanics - are less than enjoyable in the arcade format of the dogfight. With that in mind we have reduced the cost for the base version of each turret, while future variants and additions will cost a few credits to unlock, but will be available from then on, rather than the pay-each-time system we had previously. So head to the dogfight and try out that loadout you've always wanted to try! And let us know what you think. Skinny has been hard at work meshing each and every ship that has been added to the dogfight in a very intensive process of exporting, editing, and re-importing. Unfortunately he didn't have any current pictures of this process, but we wanted to give you all a status update regardless. This coming week is your last chance to complete the RoVerse Community Egg Hunt before all the eggs float back to the dimension from whence they came. Solve puzzles, escape mazes, find clues, and unlock several exclusive ships before they're gone forever. The weekly Community Dogfight Event continued this week. Members of the Community and abroad got together to blast each other to bits in the chase towards the top of the leaderboard and the chance to win this cycle's exclusive reward ship. This week, we had several dedicated pilots arrive for the fun - here are some action-shots for those who couldn't make it. If you have cool screenshots on your end, we'd love to add them to the collection. With this week marking the beginning of the 7th cycle, it is time to reveal the newest cycle-exclusive ship available only to the top three players each week. Introducing the Stratus Squall. Cut through the clouds in style with the latest high-tech weapons platform. Built as a multi-purpose frame to support a variety of tasks from precision strikes to escort missions, this fighter will serve its pilot to the end of the line. This week, there were 162 kills, 97 with beam, 38 with laser, 15 with plasma, 8 with railgun, and 4 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Washi-1_0, with 56 kills, followed by the Excalibur with 55. The most dangerous map was Citadel with 60 deaths, followed by Frostland with 53. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 74 kills and 30 deaths and a 2.46 KDR; Arieox with 33 kills, 25 deaths and a 1.32 KDR; and IdyllicDestroyer with 20 kills, 44 deaths, and a 0.45 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 42) 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: Will planetary landing pads restrict undesirables from entering? A1: Landing pads themselves wont defend themselves from undesirables, but you may be able to construct defensive turrets nearby. There is also the possibility for secure storage of ships in hangars, if they're going to remain unused for some time. Q2: How are the devs doing? Are they happy with their lives right now, and are they earning a decent pay for themselves? Have they been eating well and watch over their health? A2: Legomada - I'm working on my final year project. Apparently there's this quarantine thing going on but I wouldn't know anything about that, I don't have time to be going outside. Stratiz - I JUST MADE PLANE BOTS I stayed up all night Making bots for my aerial combat game Idyllic - I'm doing well, wrapping up a school year at long last.
