Developers' diary this week features another application of mooring - mooring to another airship. In case of trade you won't need to throw and catch cargo in mid-air! Make a radio contact with your trade partner and you'll have an option to teleport to his visinity and anchor automatically. Thus we illiminate situations you have to chase a windblown trader to make a deal.
This and other new mechanics would be available in the 0.9 demo free playtest scheduled to February. Make sure to wishlist and follow.
We are not finished with the rope physics yet and we'd definitely be back for grabbing loot, harpooning a skywhale and boarding later in development. For now we are going to improve radio communication with other airships and objects.
