RoVerse Development Newsletter #267

Hello everyone! Welcome to the 267th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week.

This week, we've got a sneak peek at a brand new gamemode in-progress for the beta:

Tucked away in a secluded nebula, lies a sleeping giant. Built ages ago for a purpose unknown, it has rested peacefully, undisturbed. But no longer - Janus Terminal has been attacked by a hostile force, and is powering up its defensive systems.

Join the battle among the stars, and use Fighters and Capitals to destroy the station before backup can arrive.

This new gamemode is an upgraded version of Outpost Strike, and will use the new Capital ships and Fighters working together to not just disable the weapons systems of a Station, but also destroy it proper. Fighters are tasked with destroying the defenses, while Capitals have to steer clear of the high-powered Railgun turrets that will make quick work of an unsuspecting ship. Once the weapons are down, its time to turn your attention to the Station itself - take out its shields with energy weapons, and destroy it's hull with physical ones, and you'll have the station destroyed long before backup can arrive on scene.

This week in the dogfight there were 268 kills, 104 with auto, 58 with beam, 30 with laser, 39 with plasma, 25 with railgun, and 12 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur with 107 kills, followed by the SSA-3-2_Ritojin_Kai with 59. The most dangerous map was Blue_Spaceway with 149 deaths, followed by Pillarum with 73.

And now, the moment you've been waiting for...
The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 77 kills and 11 deaths and a 7 KDR; DevKomodo with 60 kills, 43 deaths and a 1.39 KDR; and Onigo with 56 kills, 5 deaths, and a 11.2 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Cosmos Asimov in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!​
