Asteroid Rings & You (For Battlescape)

[quote=“Tjafaas, post:7, topic:1521”]
Related to the rings: how are currently managed the collision with asteroids and the small associated debris?From the videos I’ve seen, debris are like in ED and don’t impact the ship in any way. I would love the fact even small debris can hurt your ship.[/quote]

The plan for that is that debris will never really “collide” with your ship, however they will slowly damage it over time, with probably some kind of shaking visual effect + sound. Amounts of damage will depend on speed.

What will be more tricky is to address the issue of bigger asteroid collisions with capital ships. I have some ideas for that, but technically it’ll be more of a challenge.

I for one very much enjoy collisions with asteroids. If I’m around them and not paying close attention, I begin to hear the warning sound which in turn gets my heart pumping :laughing:

You should leave in collision detection for larger asteroids similar to the way it is now.
