Hidden behind console in v169, third person camera behind the ship is now publicly available ! Zoom-in, zoom-out and rotate 360° in the new 16k resolution scenery ! This paves the way for future exterior interactions that will serve the lore and story-telling. Current visuals include :
The empty blackness of space
Inhabitable planets
Habitable planets
Gaseous planets
Advanced civilization planets (your gold docking planet for reward upgrades)
Suns
Black holes
Asteroid fields
Known area of work : the ship's texture is not implemented yet ! As a result, the ship looks white with incorrect reflections. As a clue, a textured airlock is scheduled to guide the player into zooming back in the ship.
