Well of course they do. Going round and round a solar system gets boring after a few millenia!

You sure nobody has derailed the comets on purpose to weaponize them?

That can actually happen. That's not what was happening in this case though.

I think most approaches are going to favor dying by less ships.

That's not a bad idea. I'll see if that is feasible.

You just need 1 escape pod for everyone.

Yeah, I fixed it so you couldn't accidentally shoot down friendly missiles and that was kind of a side effect.

this has actually been true for a little while now, but all of the ships are now modeled, textured, and working in Drox Operative

Now all we need is a desktop wallpaper showing all the races' ships at once, sorted by size and true to scale.
Maybe as a little bonus for your eventual pre-orderers?

I don't about the pre-orders part, but that would be a cool wallpaper.

testing Drox Operative - when the power comparison screen shows an instant 80% power drop, you're backing the wrong race
