Bit of a short news today, just wanted to post something so it didn’t look like I’d vanished from the Earth once again.<\/p>\n
The basics of the weapon changes are now working: all systems have a (currently hard-coded) armor value which affects the damage they take from different weapon types. Kinetic weapons work with an all-or-nothing system, energy weapons divide their damage by the armor value, and explosive weapons deal damage to an area but damage is divided by the square<\/em> of the armor value. Right now with kinetic and energy weapons, attacking free-form systems is still inefficient as leftover damage is not distributed to neighbors, however I plan to change\u00a0this before releasing the update (which is still a long way off).<\/p>\n Also,\u00a0I’ve begun to implement the ability to rebind keys. At the moment, only movement (WASD), wait (Space), and the navigation screen hotbar are rebindable and there’s no built-in system to change them (you have to look up the codes and edit a text file). Once again, though, I plan to change this before the update is finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bit of a short news today, just wanted to post something so it didn’t look like I’d vanished from the Earth once again.
