An updated release of our first pre-alpha version of the game. Players now have access to some basic (but very important options) including control inversions and the ability to turn mouseflight on and off (i.e. enable X-Box controller).
This is a quick update of the version 0.1 release (bringing the public release up to 0.1a). This version smooths over a few infelicities that were present in the initial release and should make the game more playable.
Updates Include:
- X-Box controller support properly implemented (just turn mouseflight off in the options)
- Ability to invert controls in the options menu
- Some significant speed increases and removal of lag
- The cannons on Centurion class ships now rotate properly
- Fixed erratic beeping during hyperspace
- Updated menu
