Hello everyone! Welcome to the 201st issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week, Idyllic has been hard at work coding the UI refresh, working out the new menu system. Let's take a look at some of the progress pics. First up is the main menu, where players will spend most of their time. Options include a quick loadout-switching menu, and buttons for editing the ship and switching the ship like you're used to, just a bit more obvious. Switching ships will now allow you to switch between your currently selected Fighter, and independently select which Capital you would like to use in the next Capital-enabled gamemode. Editing your ship will now directly give you the available options, allowing you to switch skins from the main menu, instead of being hidden three levels down. Last up is the shop layout, with a state-of-the-art scrolling frame holding a plethora of Watermelon ship skins. There are a few things left to complete in the menus, most importantly a custom icon to replace the hideous unicode checkmark, along with code for a few more menus, loadouts, and the shop. The turret-editing menu is going to be renovated as well, in a style that will match the mod-editing menu. Stay tuned for more updates. The RoVerse Community Dogfight event was back with a vengeance this week, with quite a few players dropping by for a special triple credit event. Players got to check out the newly-added skyboxes for a few of the dogfight maps, while creating their very own field of ship debris. On to the dogfight - this week, there were 200 kills, 66 with laser, 61 with beam, 40 with auto, 25 with plasma, 5 with railgun, and 3 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur, with 95 kills, followed by the Gladiator with 29. The most dangerous map was Ecumenopolis with 54 deaths, followed by Frostland with 36. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were devOmegax, with 29 kills and 29 deaths and a 1 KDR; FangABXY with 28 kills, 15 deaths and a 1.86 KDR; and TheCandyManVan with 27 kills, 12 deaths, and a 2.25 KDR. Nice work pilots, you've earned the cycle-exclusive ship Stratus Squall! If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 45) 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: Mobile buildings? A1: See Vehicles. Q2: Can we destroy missiles if we manage to hit them with our regular weapons? A2: That's sorta the whole point of flak turrets, and removing the thing that makes them special has the potential to make them useless. Q3: Will factions be able to submit custom Capital ships? A3: Of course. We'll have a guide out soon for all the information you'll need to submit your faction Capitals and get them added to the game. Since they're rigged the same way a fighter is, build format should be the same - the major difference being the stat categories, which still need to be pinned down. Q4: Will there be cup-holders in spaceships? A4: I assume only the finest ships available from the most exclusive shipbuilding companies will have such a luxury item available for their passengers.
