Hello there,
here's a little bit more in depth look at the project.
It showcase the 4 controllable module in the early concept.
There's a whole lot to add and especially think because every module will have uses and different approaches to the space exploration.The switching function need to be adjusted with the interaction Capital Ship/Astronaut and Capital Ship/Drone. As of now the only skill added in there is a shooting system for the Drone but I'll move in order.
Suited Astronaut
It can move very slowly and has a limited time and range from a ship in the void space.
Can land on planets and other masses. The first two equipement that will be given is a scanner and a mining protocol.
Drone Module
Move very fast(I'd say way to fast as of right now) in all direction, fast change of direction and instantly reach it max speed, though in the grand scheme of the verse is not very fast.
For now it's equipped with bolter. The next equipement is probably a gravity pull/release.
Space Ship
Full throttle has is the module that can reach the fastest linear speed. Handled by rotation.
It can propel itself backwards but at a reduced speed.
Here further new equipement is a big question mark, there are many possibilities for weaponry and I was thinking how it can change the propulsion gasses to different uses(for example to push away noxius dangerous clouds)
Capital Ship
This is mostly a placeholder as I needed to have a sprite to make this 4 module cycle work.
The idea is that this is going to be more of a moving space city then an explorative module, though one of the ideas is that when all jointed toghether the 4 module it can use an instant portal, summoned with the mouse pointer, to teleport on the opposite side of the map if one want to.
The idea is that is very cost intensive to move.
For now has a mix of both the Drone and the Space Ship. It can slowly move in all direction or using the propellers move in the same way that the Space Ship does but half the speed.
That is all for now(though it's not much)
Catch ya'll later!
