Hello everyone! Welcome to the 234th 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 continued to patch up the last few bits of code related to the Capital Update, added a new event-ship filter, and has teamed up with Maximus to build a RoVerse Ship Hangar! First up is the new filter for event ships. No longer will you have to scroll through the New or All filters looking for a new event ship you've unlocked - now they're all saved in one easy-to-access filter. This filter is in the same group as defaults and faction ships, and selecting one of the three will deselect the other filters, because there is no overlap between the three groups. If you have any suggestions for other filters, let us know. A new faction ship has been added to the game: Sugi Advanced Technolgies Ezeru VSa1-1_Kazan, an Akatanan ship. A new cycle has begun, and that means a new exclusive reward ship. This cycle's exclusive reward is the Nihilos Errata - built on the same spaceframe as the Asterus, but with a closed-wing system that loses a bit of agility, in exchange for speed. Maximus and Idyllic are hard at work building a Hangar where every ship currently included in the RoVerse Dogfight can be viewed in-person and at full scale. Admire the slender Iridium, or the hulking Constantine, visit the blisteringly quick Dervish, or the dangerous Sentinel. The hangar is still in-progress, but we hope to have it open in the near future. 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 1001 kills, 222 with auto, 10 with beam, 67 with laser, 73 with plasma, 28 with railgun, and 601 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the VSa1-1_Kazan with 847 kills, followed by the Chariot with 128. The most dangerous map was Blue_Spaceway with 435 deaths, followed by The_Great_Hollow with 362. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 788 kills and 39 deaths and a 20.2 KDR; devOmegax with 129 kills, 17 deaths and a 7.58 KDR; and IdyllicDestroyer with 64 kills, 15 deaths, and a 4.26 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Nihilos Errata in the Alpha Dogfight. 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 78) Calexian Community Challenge Before the end of cycle 12, the community must strive to complete the following two challenges to unlock a Calexian ship for all to use. This first week, we've done an excellent job destroying Outpost Turrets, with a count of 954 - however, fighter kills were quite short of the mark at 47, and we'll need to make up those kills if we are to hit the mark by the end of the cycle. The challenges are: Destroy 5,000 Outpost Turrets, and Destroy 2,500 Fighters. 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: Fighters will have cargo holds, right? What can go in them? A1: Fighter class ships will indeed have cargo space, though it will be pretty limited with such small craft. Most likely it'd be used for consumables and munitions, rather than carrying ore or other goods. No fighters will ever be large enough to hold another fighter - that ability is limited to small capitals, and carrier class ships. They may be large enough to hold a small planetary vehicle, but that will have to be determined in the future. You can support us by joining our Community Group or Discord server!
