Hello everyone! Welcome to the 227th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week, the new and improved 360° turret aiming code has been integrated with ship systems, allowing pilots of Capital ships to aim their turrets at everything around them; there was also a quality of life update added to the dogfight gamemode system, and we have a new ship for the 11th cycle. Lets get started! So it turns out what Idyllic thought was nearly-completed turret code last week, had a few remaining flaws that needed ironing out. It worked fine on a level plane, but as soon as you starting throwing more angles into the mix, or moving the turret away from the origin, things went a bit mad. The aim would start jumping around as it approached 180° behind you, and straight ahead - so clearly the math wasn't quite right yet. But with a bit more tinkering around, and plenty of banding my head against my desk, the math was solved, dot products were eliminated, and the turrets were aimed properly. And the moment of truth - applying the new code to the existing turret systems. After one false start with a math error, we were successful in implementing the new code. Turrets how have the full range of motion that they have always been intended to have. A truly dangerous force to be reckoned with in the RoVerse Galaxy. On the dogfight front, gamemodes are now prerolled at the beginning of intermission, giving you time to prepare for the upcoming battle, by selecting the proper ship, or editing the weapon loadout. A new cycle has begun, and that means a new exclusive reward ship. This cycle's exclusive reward comes from the Nihilos Corporation, and is called the Asterus. The community dogfight continued again this week, with members of the community coming together to blast each other out of the sky. Here are a selection of screenshots from the event - send in your own if you have them. Join us next week at 1pm and 8pm EST and earn double credits for the duration. This week in the dogfight there were 422 kills, 60 with auto, 37 with beam, 4 with laser, 16 with plasma, 12 with railgun, and 293 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Evoker with 162 kills, followed by the Excalibur with 60. The most dangerous map was The_Great_Hollow with 210 deaths, followed by Blue_Spaceway with 133. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 191 kills and 17 deaths and a 11.23 KDR; devOmegax with 61 kills, 8 deaths and a 7.62 KDR; and CptJaller with 53 kills, 33 deaths, and a 1.6 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Nihilos Asterus in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!

A1: Nope. That would be excessively immersive, even for us. Plates are just used during the generation process to create rifts and convergences, and make more realistic mountain ranges.
