The same for engines, there will be two types, one that uses fuel and the other that uses energy. The difference is that lasers are weaker, but the 'projectiles' travel at speed of light, while the plasma shots take time to get to enemy. The energy weapons will be divided in two sub-types, lasers and, well, plasma or something.

Also, the ration between moving and rotating effect of engines need to be increased.Ībout the weapons: I though of just two basic types, energy weapons (which obviously, use energy to fire) and projectile weapons (missiles), which have ammo limitation. Ship controlability depends on how you placed engines (which are pretty weak now). Maybe later, when there is nothing more to add. I thought of angled blocks, but it would complicate things too much for now. (I am adding fourth phase, test phase, where you will be able to fly the ship without leaving construction mode) Some of the maps will provide completely different game options and possible strategies than the 'standart'.

You can choose to stuck your ship with engines to be the fastest, or guns to shoot everyone else down.Also, the scenarios can happen in different areas of space, so there will be another option to select map for each game. (Team has to cooperate not only in space, but while building the ships, some of the players need to load the civilians on their ships) Fleet fight - two fleets, multiple rounds, the goal is to win as many rounds as possible by eliminating enemy fleets Asteroid Race - some asteroids with rare ores will be scattered over map and multiple teams will have to mine them (again, players will need to cooperate on who will take mining ships and who fighters, or maybe fighter/miner hybrid ships.) Space Race - run through all checkpoints faster than everyone else. Demolition derby - an alternative to classic deathmatch, since it would be quite hard to detect, who killed whom (the ships fall apart slowly as they are hit), players score points for causing damage and lose for taking Capture the asteroid - there will be one asteroid in the middle, and twi teams will have to drag it to certain spot, using some special devices (gravity guns, hooks, pushing them.) Convoy - a cooperative game, where all players should work together to get a convoy of civilian ships through dangerous space areas.
