Hi all,

Dracarys - A new weapon for Phase 3.

Unleash an intense wave of fire that incinerates your enemies, destroys shields, and obliterates photons to leave nothing but ashes.

Available to try on the test branch.

Cheers,

I've just updated the 'test' build to include the brand new 'Ship Tuning' feature. (This replaces the BH2 ship modules system)
In addition to the usual stats, I've added:

- Bullet Penetration: A % chance that any give bullet will cause damage and bounce off the enemy to go on and cause more damage.
- Scale. You can now change the base size of your ship!
- Dark Beam Strength & Dark Beam Duration
- Resource Pickup Force: Making Scrap, Uranium & Crystals to be attracted to your ship.
- Beam Sweep Size: Alter the sweep size of your beams, making it more focused, or more scattered.
- Beam Sweep Angle: Alter the base angle offsets for the beams.

There are still some bits to finished off and tidy up. Interested on feedback.
Hop on to the 'testing' branch in Betas to try it out.

I hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi all,



I have an early phase 3 build: Ancient Aliens. If you want to try it out, hop on the Steam 'testing' branch. (Choose using Right click on BH3->Properties->Betas, and select 'Testing')
This version is all about galaxies:

- Galaxies now contain different 'Artefacts'
- These can be found by visiting a system or
- By using the new 'Galactic Scan' feature. You will need to add up to 4 Galactic Scan modules to your mother ship.
- You can see in the screen shot I have made a number of scans to reveal where artefacts are.
- To get the artefact, you need to fly to the Planet and beat the track.

Artefacts are as follows:

1: Scrap cache. Get a big pile of scrap for your stores
2: Uranium fuel
3: Fold Crystals. Making it a lot easier to hop around the galaxy
4: Nano Tech Cache. Used to quickly upgrade weapons, or make a long range scan
5: Alien Blueprint. Used to unlock new weapons. (Not currently implemented)
6: Wraith Empire Elite Ship. Cool and powerful ships seemingly discarded by an ancient race of aliens.

Start a new galaxy, or join me in the one above. ID: 17309151
