Being able to climb up buildings offers a pretty big advantage for the AA quadmech variants, which can scoot up onto rooftops to get a better vantage point!

The fade to black after the cutscene at the start of each #NovaSquadron mission is kind of a buzzkill.
So I'm getting rid of it.*

I've strapped flamethrower turrets to a plane.

Due to their climbing abilities, AA quadmechs can position themselves not just on top of cityships, but underneath them as well!

The prototype Pillars seemed to work, so I've started experimentally texturing them.
Yes, environment texturing. In #NovaSquadron. I've never done this before in my life...
...but what if I did

For your viewing pleasure: me making extremely bad evasive decisions!

- lighting is a bit better
- the aurora is a bit better
- rim lighting?!

No, this isn't a late April Fools' joke, we're actually adding "the ground" to #NovaSquadron!
