A minecraft/robocraft style game where you build ships/airplanes/submarines/SPHESSSHEEPS and proceed to fuck everyone up or die trying.

/emote looks thoughtful
It's as if someone made robocraft and turned it up to 11 with inspiration from FC... might get.

I'm definitely going to work on getting this, If its as good as the trailer shows it to be, this just might be FC's new little home for conquering

I'd definitely want to make a missile spire in this game, Just a big floating rectangular box covered in missile launchers.
And nukes. Many many nukes if possible.

IKR
That of course might have to do with the $20/Free price-tag comparison of course.
Damn you money why do you taunt me with better things when im such a cheapskate ass.
I should make a flan mod like Proto and farm adfly money so I can afford steam.

It doesn't look like anything in that trailer is casting shadows.

There are shadows it's just a really weird shitty method of where each block itself is etheir textured or generated individually for a shadow. It looks very resource demanding.

High learning curve, but for such a game, very in depth.
For instance, it simulates hull breaches. You heard me right. If you have a big iron ship, and don't compartmentalize your hull, one breach and you sink. Unfortunately, sinking doesn't affect a ship's ability to fight. Yet. (Because guns work underwater)
Also simulates buoyancy, shell trajectories (Shells can bounce off water and armor), lift, center of mass, drag, etc. And you build your own guns too, missiles and such.
Easy to learn, hard to master. And the graphics ain't up to snuff yet either; it has a long way to go.
