#Exosolar new M1.
Collect the Taulin's scattered fleet, get a little combat in, learn about objectives and characters.
I feel this can grab player's attention, but also doesn't overwhelm with too many mechanics too quickly.

We have a new look for mission 1. I'll explain the reason why in replies.

Building in #Exosolar happens on planets.
You can build ships, but also platforms that can add resources or stat modifications to the planet itself.
Capturing planets is at the core, they act as control points, resources, and factories.

I've been inspired by Warzone 2100 and Snap Ships, I'm pushing ship building to be a core feature of Exosolar.
First WIP.

#Flashback of the first mission a year ago.
1 minute, click till you find the exit.
Playtesters at #MDev were not interested in what was next and it does nothing to represent the game mechanics.
I'll show the redesign tomorrow.

Combat, capturing orbiting planets, build systems, branching narrative/missions, factions and species, and majestic space environments are represented with more to come!

A planet in #Exosolar builds the player's "default" frigate class ship.
Why? Keep the game going without a build menu.
If the player chooses, they can change the frigate the planet will produce or build additional items via a menu.

Here it is, revamped movements.
Now that I'm not using a navgrid, it's easier to get movement in the Z direction, like the ships flying over planets here.

My answer to balancing Ship builds is Limits.
Stats have a min and max value, go beyond those for a stat and you can't save the build and the out-of-range text changes color.
