Power of the mass driver
Yesterday I added power management mechanics. For tests I put most of the power consumption figures from top of my head. But

Keep your turbine prisine
Fellow pilots of second-hand ship, heed my warning. Your ship reactor may be operating on peek efficiency, but it is not the
Hud is Hard
Let’s add some simple texts over the gameplay, so the player can actually see what’s going on. How hard can it be?
The unit of Universe
This is derivative from Reddit post I started. Godot’s Physics2D engine operates on internal, pixel-based units. ΔV needs the data in real-world
Sound in space
I finally got around to add sound effects to the game. Even with prototype sounds it ended up pretty well. It was
Weapons of mass drive
Build into core of Rosatom-Antonow K37-TNTRL and powered by internal nuclear turbine, EMD-14 electromagnetic mass driver can deliver 10 steel mining projectiles
Exploring the ring with second-hand ship
Exploring the Ring with second-hand ship poses new set of challenges. Those vehicles are quirky and systems can fail at any time.
Melting the Ring with nuclear fire
If your mass driver fails in the middle of mining run, remember that your ship is equipped with a Nuclear Thermal Rocket
Exhausting the engines
Rocket-ship engines work by accelerating reaction mass in opposite direction, thus providing thrust. But this mass doesn’t just vanish when it leaves the
Operation of Nuclear Thermal Rocket
Main engine of Rosatom-Antonov K37-TNTRL can produce up to 750kN of thrust. This is way more than required within the Ring, yet it allows
