Hello everyone. I know many of you are eager to see new starships or features, but my recent focus has shifted to game balance and numerical tuning.
While this means fewer flashy visuals, these adjustments are crucial for a polished experience.
For weapons, I've balanced key attributes like Time-to-Kill and range across several archetypes: versatile Pulse Lasers, armor-piercing Flak Cannons, shield-breaking Beams, and high-burst Missiles. The goal is to make each feel unique and viable.
The survival system offers two distinct defenses: heavy, non-regenerating Armor and power-draining Shields, creating meaningful trade-offs in ship fitting.
I am also fine-tuning the broader interplay between Mass, Thrust, and limited Power capacity.
Designing the core game math has been a complex challenge, but it's all to ensure that every player's choice is tactically meaningful. Admittedly, this is my first time working solo on a project of this scale. It's been a tremendous learning experience, and I sincerely hope it all comes together smoothly.
That's all for now. Thank you for your support of Flagship, and please share this update with friends. See you next time!
