Battleship Commander is a single player, non twitch-based sandbox space game. The features that differentiate it from others game of the same genre are the accurate damage modeling and ship customization. The ships are made of hulls with slots for component and turrets. You build the ship by filling the slots with components. These can be for examples powerplants, engines, weapons and many others. Each component has mass, hitpoints, dimensions and a position inside the ship and can be damaged. When it happens the ship lose the functionality provided by that component. The armor of the hull and turrets can be customized by choosing the metal type and the thickness. The interaction between weapons and armor is realistically modeled.In Battleship Commander you are the captain of the ship and do not manually aim the guns or pilot the ship, instead you give orders to the AI, though manual piloting is possible.

Redone Engines:
Now engines produce torque if their thrust direction is not aligned with center of mass. This means that if a ship COM is too far from the center of thrust or an engine is destroyed it will have a tendency to rotate when the main thrusters are engaged. If the gyroscopes mounted on the ship are strong enough they can overcome this effect at the cost of using electrical power.

But this also mean that main engines can be used to rotate ship if necessary by activating RCS mode
(key 'r').

Engine RCS

NTR (nuclear thermal rocket) now requires to be fueled also with Uranium-235 in addition to LH2. The uranium reserve is slowly depleted when the engine is used.
Some variants of NTR have a boost mode where LOX is used to greatly increase the power at the cost of fuel efficiency (key 'o').
Different engines types can have differents color, e.g. fusion engines have now a blue tint.

Fusion Engines

HE ammo:
The damage of explosive ammo versus ship components has been hugely increased and they can be distinguished from other ammo types by their red color.
