Well, as the title says.

Some sort of "Asteroid test" mode added to the game modes of the arena.
It basically just spawns a system containing your selected ship, a single planet and an inbound asteroid with 1 hour or so left until impact.

So we can test if a given ship can deal with asteroids without needing to build it first / needing to find an asteroid first .

Trying to stay in-game more than 2 mins results in a crash. Some times it is not responding, but most times it just crashes.

So, some suggestions, coming from someone whose homeworld was just destroyed by an asteroid.

1. More Warnings!! I know the tribal stargazer says something, and I was told the Observatory can tell you something, but that's about all I knew. If there was some mail message or mission like the "Getting Started" mission to alert players to this imminent threat, I would have been much less surprised by this.
   
   
2. Make the ETA for Asteroid visible somewhere. Maybe you can check it from the Observatory or Solar System map.
   

Someone asked when I was going to get back to working on the game.

The short sarcastic answer is, "I never stop."

It was a valid question, none-the-less. The last update was posted before Christmas and I have not posted on the forum since then.

I am working on some changes to spacecraft that dragged me down a rabbit hole. That work should be completed in a few days. I expect to post an update next week, likely later in the week.

The changes may break old style space ships. The extra work to maintain the code is becoming a nuisance. The database shows over 1000 of them still in the game.

I urge everyone who is still using any old style space ships to abandon them as quickly as possible. They might not exist by the end of next week.

Hello, I am making this thread to share some things I have made, and for others to share things that they have made.

If you have a space fighter parked onboard a spaceship, standing near the fighter and looking through the cockpit glass will show you the view outside the ship, whatever is generating the view through the cockpit glass isn't taking into account obstacles like a ship being in the way.

   

It is not possible to access the sea chest while in a berth if the room the berth is in has cargo access.

Workaround: Declare a building your home and access your sea chest there.

When you are using the construction window, you have to select the construction materials you want to use. This can be overriden by using the up and down arrow keys while placing a building.

This is too easily done by mistake and confuses new players. I suggest removing this behavior, or at least removing it from default key binding or whatever.

Could instead mirror what the mouse-wheel does with the up/down arrow keys. Changing altitude of platforms and roads. Would make it easier to use without a mouse-wheel.

See title.

Logging camp is not limited in its number of manufacturing workshops like the mine and well. Logging camp actually seem to be using fields instead of workshops, which is weird.

There is also no default logging camp building blueprint, which seem to confuse some new players.
