Hello everyone! Welcome to the 255th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. This week, Idyllic was still on vacation, so we have another guest-writer on board to give you an interesting and unique newsletter. The guest author this week is TheUnderseer, leader of the Onyx Hold. He's gonna write about rocks. Hello everyone, Im TheUnderseer, Chairman of the Onyx Hold. As a race of space-rock mining space-dwarves, our faction is well acquainted with the most common objects in the galaxy. I of course am talking about rocks. Our asteroid miner's union has crossed the galaxy, mining every type and species of rock imaginable, and in our travels, we've come across some really cool ones, so Im going to be talking about them today. Rocks. They're everywhere. Littering planets, floating around ominously in space, smashing into things that don't like getting smashed into. To some, rocks are a nuisance, only getting in the way or cluttering up the vast and beautiful void. But to others, rocks are the most beautiful things in the world. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors and sharpnesses, and sometimes most importantly, different values. Rocks arent just there to fill up your cargo hold with useless clutter. Sometimes rocks contain valuable gems hidden inside, called geodes. Dont just go throwing all your rocks out if they arent beautiful on the outside, sometimes their beauty is hidden within. But not all rocks are harmless. Besides hot rocks, which hurt because of their temperature, some rocks are toxic and are not to be eaten. Eating other kinds of rocks are fine. Not everything in life is safe, and often the most beautiful and most valuable rocks are the most dangerous to obtain. You might be asking, "If rocks are so great, what can I do with them?" The answer is simple, lots of things. Rocks are used in everyday life all the time. Besides looking pretty, rocks can be turned into useful tools, like diamond-tipped sawblades, used as non-scratch lenses on cameras, or melted down and turned into concrete to build your homes. Rocks are everywhere and there is no escape. I hope that this newsletter has given you a greater appreciation for the beautiful resources lying right below your feet. Without rocks, the world would literally not exist, and us with it. Take some time this week to appreciate a rock, pick one up, give it a sniff, maybe lick it - follow your heart. And if you need anyone to go collecting lots of rocks for you, remember the Onyx Hold is always available to help. --TheUnderseer, Chairman of the Onyx Hold Asteroid Miner's Union Thank you for that enlightening newsletter. Next week we should be back to our regularly scheduled programming, but if you've enjoyed these guest newsletters, let us know in the community discord, and we'll consider doing them more often. This week in the dogfight there were 55 kills, 2 with auto, 12 with beam, 4 with laser, 0 with plasma, 4 with railgun, and 33 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the VSa1-1_Kazan with 29 kills, followed by the Iridium with 12. The most dangerous map was Blue_Spaceway with 35 deaths, followed by Pillarum with 16. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 34 kills and 6 deaths and a 5.66 KDR; TheUnderseer with 12 kills, 0 deaths and a NaN KDR; and devOmegax with 9 kills, 5 deaths, and a 1.8 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship 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 99) Calexian Community Challenge Before the end of Cycle 15, the community must strive to complete the following two challenges to unlock a Calexian ship for all to use. The challenges are: 6000 Outpost Turrets, and 3000 Non-Torpedo kills. 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: What kinds of module will there be? Ejecting Engines? A1: Modules are very open-ended right now, but not in that vein. They should focus on stat bonuses and penalties to better customize your specific ship to your style. Need a bit more firepower? Fit an armament module that gives +2 armament, but lose a bit of shield to compensate. There are approximately 15 stats on each fighter we can individually control, so modules could theoretically granularly effect these stats better than the submission points system does. Ideas pitched in the discord included: Advanced Composite Ailerons: +20 pitch/yaw or Omnidirectional Gravitation Jets: +15 strafe. There is certainly a lot we can do with modules to help players refine base ship models to their particular playstyle, but not so much that it completely revolutionizes how a fighter performs. You can support us by joining our Community Group or Discord server! So far, the community has been absolutely amazing, supportive, and very friendly.
