Drake3: Dev 10 Combat Screenshots — " The reason why I'm putting in so much time and effort is that by and large, the previous iteration did not work.

And good to know that you are keeping an eye on that AI...make it strooooonggg!!

Being able to maneuver through (or crash through... hehe) asteroids is a new idea I haven't really seen before in a game with turn-based space combat. Sounds like an interesting question, I am being blasted apart by an enemy vessel and my weapons need to recharge, should I trust my pilot to…
