Dear Players,
Join us on 15th November at 1600 UTC (just 1 hour before the big update launch) and we will be streaming CC2, discussing the new update, chatting with players and answering questions!
You can join the launch party stream by simply visiting the Carrier Command 2 Steam store page at the time above!
The major update is just around the corner, lets quickly go over the headlines:
New Aircraft Handling and Mouse Control
We have completely reworked aircraft handling - expect much smoother, responsive aircraft that are easier to control and much more fun! We have also added support for mouse input control of aircraft, with a host of options to customize in the settings. This is a huge deal as it greatly improves aircraft gameplay, and makes it much easier to engage targets in the air and on the ground with accuracy and effect.
New Inventory Mechanics
We have completely reworked the barge system to be more like the normal vehicle control - you now simply plot waypoints and the barges do as they are told. You can now deliver goods direct from any island rather than having to go via the warehouse - which is now just the starter island with the starter stock in it. There is much more to this and it will be explained in detail next week in the patch notes.
Improved Modding Support
We have been blown away by how awesome some of the user created mods, and want to do our best to support these incredible creations! Scripts will now be synced from the multiplayer host, so all players use the servers version of the scripts while in a game! We have also added a special "developer mode" to help mod creators test their creations, and we have also integrated some features of the popular UI Enhancement Mod by QuantX and others.
When CC2 first launched, a kind anonymous player sent us some pizzas - we have been trying to find out who this was to thank them - but have been unable to figure it out. This is probably a good point to accept that we will never solve the mystery, so whoever you are, thank you stranger! They were delicious! But no pizzas were necessary - just enjoying our game is more than enough!
We are really excited for the big launch and hope you will join us!
Much love <3,
The Carrier Command Developers
