Nimbatus 1.1 Update

​Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released a new update! We looked through all the features that you suggested and upvoted in our forums and picked the ones that we liked most and were within our time limit.

The two most notable changes are the new multiselection feature that let's you select and edit multiple drone parts at once by pressing CTRL. And the dronepart template system where you can create templates and use them accross your drones.

Here is a video showcasing the new features:
