Hello everyone! Welcome to the 228th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week Idyllic returned focus to coding and creating UI elements necessary for ship editing, creating a slew of weapon icons for our current and future weapon type plans, and coding the system to work with the original turret editing code. Two weeks ago, we demoed a basic version of the menu, with a simple selection system that used border pixels, and had letters standing in for each weapon type. That has been further developed into a fancy icon system with glowing selection highlights making it easy to tell at a glance which weapon type is which, and which one is selected. We'll be releasing the wider variety of weapons over time as we complete them, but having an extensive catalog of interesting weapon types is one of our highest goals. If you have any ideas for cool weapon ideas, drop us a suggestion in the discord, and it might end up the most dangerous weapon in the galaxy. Further developments to come include greying out turrets that have not yet been purchased for the current ship, a few more icons for turrets that aren't complete, icons for the turret weight class menus, and the all-important part - making the turret display update as you click the buttons. 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 114 kills, 16 with auto, 14 with beam, 11 with laser, 11 with plasma, 48 with railgun, and 14 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur with 69 kills, followed by the Hayabusa_III with 15. The most dangerous map was Blue_Spaceway with 36 deaths, followed by Classic with 33. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 29 kills and 4 deaths and a 7.25 KDR; ObscureVisage with 10 kills, 4 deaths and a 2.5 KDR; and VerrucktScientist with 8 kills, 5 deaths, and a 1.6 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Nihilos Asterus in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!

A1: Factory modules of outposts are where ore is refined into raw materials to be used for construction, or the creation of more advanced materials. This also happens at a larger scale in faction stations, especially in the dedicated refinery station type. You can support us by joining our Community Group or Discord server!
