RoVerse Development Newsletter #289

Hello everyone! Welcome to the 289th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week.

This week Idyllic is deep in the trenches of the ship modification system, and has unfortunately come to the realization that the spaghetti code that it contains will not stand up to the requirements of the future, and will need to be cleaned up. Too many bugs have arisen from poor coding decisions made before expansions to the system were made make it unwieldy and a mess to try and debug, so we're going to take some time to cut it down to the essentials and make it work.

​However, this newsletter will have at least some content:

A secret project is underway, and it has flashing lights. What could it be?

This week in the dogfight there were 118 kills, 58 with auto, 21 with beam, 12 with laser, 0 with plasma, 10 with railgun, and 17 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur with 33 kills, followed by the Iridium with 21. The most dangerous map was Pillarum with 34 deaths, followed by The_Great_Hollow with 32.
​
And now, the moment you've been waiting for...
The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 38 kills and 21 deaths and a 1.8 KDR; IdyllicDestroyer with 27 kills, 27 deaths and a 1 KDR; and PrabuRamadhan with 23 kills, 1 deaths, and a 23 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Stormfront Armaments Centaur in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!
