new super cool video for Void Expanse. Drone Retriever and Drone Repair showcase. Video is approx 5 mins long. Enjoy Watching but its a very bad sound quality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrsbvw4wW9o&feature=youtu.be

You can see repair drones in action, and foremost, the drone retrievers which can grab scrap metals lying around.

latest touches on the drone retriever. Now equiped with laser-plyers sockets at the edge of it's arms.





Oh and I'm still working on the pathfinder scripts and drone retriever scripts for better results. I removed all lag from the pathfind beeing activated because it did lag the server everytime it was. What I did is simply separate the 400 lines pathfind script lib into smaller libs that are linked together and BAM the lag is completely gone. Also, I shrinked the pathfind to create a Grid of 5 x 5 instead of a grid 10 x 10. But I will revisit that script in order to change the width and depth of the units... meaning that even if its a 5x5 grid, it will be able to cover a very large area still. It's gonna be awesome. In fact, there were so many wrong things in my scripts, I wonder How I was able to show you guys a video where it was working. lol

new looks for the station interior. It looks better now. But I didn't make any roof for the docking area and don't plan to "unless" the ships aren't disappearing when they are docking. To be tested in Multiplayer. Highest graphics, normals are fixed, but no textures yet except dark grey color everywhere. Thank you for watching.

Military station interior. Work in progress.




phew... I'm finally done with modeling the station interiors. Now back to the unwalkable station interior tiles for the drone pathfind to work... Then I gotta place the colliders with the physics ajuster tool.

If you can hold your breath long enough whether it is 1 month or 6 months even, for what I am working on, you will be amazed at what you see. You will think of Void Expanse of the greatest Panoramic style Space Combat game ever created, if you don't think like that already.

Keep on watching/following if you're that cold blooded follower... the patient one. I will be glad to share more news on the project as soon as I have them.

Until then, Have fun playing Void Expanse and if you do download the Galaxy Market, please feel free to share any comments in the Galaxy Market thread please.

Hello Void Expanse Community. I wanted to give a heads'up on my current "TODO-LIST" for the STATION MOD. It might look a bit depressive to see but Just wanted to let you know that I am working around the clock to finish the station MOD. The station MOD part 1 is to bring into the game, station interiors and have players start enjoying new Interactive Content like the station Interiors that will each contain a refuel/repair platform. Both of those platforms will have drones replenish the fuel and repair the players ship Hulls. The moment that I finish the unwalkable tiles and station colliders for each Station Interior, and prepare the spawn points for players and Turrets, I will consider releasing Version 1.0 of the station MOD. Please continue to bear with me and await this new content. DO NOT GIVE UP on ME  ;D

please watch this video if you are curious as to why it takes so long to do the unwalkable tiles. its a boring video to watch but about a thousand times worse to code. This is not going on youtube.

15 minutes Video. Showing off the station Colliders. Forgot about the science station though and showed the business station twice... Enjoy Watching if you have 15 minutes to spare.
