Hello everyone! Welcome to the 213th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on progress we've made over the past week. This week, Idyllic has made excellent progress on Capital turrets, fixing replication of both turret angles and turret firing. He's also made substantial progress on Capital Flak, with automated tracking well underway. Last week, Idyllic was deep in the code trying to solve a replication problem that was causing the Capital turrets not to work on other player's screens. Unfortunately, he was not able to find the problem before newsletter time, and had to put it off until this week. Almost immediately last Sunday, the problem was identified in one line of code. A silent error had been occurring, involving a conflict between Vector3 and CFrame values in the firing code, that caused them not to replicate. With that out of the way, players can now see the Capital turrets moving in the direction their pilot is pointing them at long last. How you can be shot at - how exciting! Next up was coding the Flak turrets we talked about last week, involving the two different fire modes. Direct is easy enough, as it just follows your mouse like any other turret, but Tracking required a bit more code. The Outpost turret code was modified and reorganized to work on ships, which run client-side as opposed to the outpost, which runs server-side. Tracking has successfully been implemented. Next up, is making the turrets shoot at targets automatically! Triggering the firing mechanism without checking if the mouse is down was a simple matter. Below, is the mode when no viable targets can be found... ...and the mode when a target can be found... Announcing the newest cycle-exclusive fighter reserved for only the best of the best pilots in the RoVerse Dogfight. The Elysion Lethe is a medium fighter, with a solid armament and exceptional defensive capabilities. The community dogfight continued again this week, with members of the community coming together to blast each other out of the sky.

This week in the dogfight there were 405 kills, 264 with auto, 51 with laser, 48 with beam, 28 with torpedo, 12 with railgun, and 2 with plasma. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur, with 264 kills, followed by Hayabusa III with 38. The most dangerous map was Pillarum with 405 deaths, followed by Classic with 24. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were NexYtBR, with 262 kills and 22 deaths and a 11.9 KDR; FangABXY with 39 kills, 24 deaths and a 1.62 KDR; and IdyllicDestroyer with 34 kills, 31 deaths, and a 1.09 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Elysion Lethe in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!
