Short Summary:
When docked at a owned base - you have access to a "Remote Interface" allowing you to control your ships via the Overworld and jumping into ship mode to control them.
Longer explanation:
Void Destroyer 2 starts you off in a single ship - barely fit for combat. You'll than upgrade it a bit and move on to bigger and better ships, gradually building up a fleet. Then owning mining and transport ships, and then owning enough ships to be able to capture a base.
Throughout this process - you can issue orders to your other ships and take direct control of them, but your physical presence is tied to your main ship, vulnerable to attack.
Once you capture your first base - you are given the opportunity to control your ships - via a remote interface, allowing you to manage your empire while docked at a base - your stronghold.
You can now participate in any battle that your ships are engaged in and not have to worry about your personal health - creating the possibility for bigger and more intense battles. With losses not meaning the end of the line - allowing for suicide missions and various other strategies to ensure your goals.
Time and space won't hold much meaning - and you can become a immortal space god.
What's next?
This update isn't yet live - it will most likely be patched in later in the upcoming week (there are still some tests I need to run to ensure that the basics work).
After that - I'll need to work on implementing fleets - making managing many ships much easier.
After that - I'll most likely work on some smaller aspects and then continue on and on - day by day working towards making Void Destroyer 2 the best space sandbox game that I can make - with your support and help!
thanks!
