Steampunk wars is a brand new concept using the revolutionary spring engine. The spring engine allows for more realistic physics then some AAA rts engines. Ships will be arranged in classes: fighter, tiltrotorcraft, corvette, frigate, destroyer, cruiser, battlecruiser, carrier, battleship, mothership and superbattle ship. When complete the two sides; Hegemony and Confederacy will have about 15 ships each. The hegemony will focus on haveing limited numbers of powerful high technology ships while the confederacy will focus on high numbers of lowertech ships and carrier support. The game is being designed with community moding in mind. Additional content will be easy to add by modders. For now the focus is on multiplayer and skirmish but in the future single player storymode will be added.

The initial release w2r1 is ready and awaiting approval. The install
instructions for the normal download can be found here at the bottom of
the page: springrts.com/wiki/Games . Their are 3 units the assault
corvette, the liberty class heavy cruiser,

and the mcu. Their are two buildings the cruiser yard and the energy

tower. Both structures are built by the mcu. At the moment the ships
only have one weapon coded; the coaxial railgun. This massive rail gun
run through the entire length of most hegemony ships and its power
depends on the reactor size of the ship. The assault corvette will late
receive missiles and auto cannons while the liberty class heavy cruiser
will have cruise missiles, about 10 broadside non turreted railguns and 3
turreted heavy railguns. The mcu and both buildings are temporary and
will be eventually replaced as will the unit pics. Weapon sounds will
also be coming soon as will the excelsior class mother ship which will
have about 3 times the power of the liberty class and function as a
upgraded frigate yard meaning it will be able to produce ships weaker
than destroyers. The final release is expected to be about 20 US
dollars. During alpha and beta testing the games price will go up.
During indev testing the price will be free. However if you choose to
buy the game from desura before alpha. you will be able to get the game
for 3 US dollars. Half the price of the cost to buy it at the start
alpha. Only use RAI ai because its the only one that works. Credit goes
to mind traveler for the ship models.
