you are making great progress. and I indeed love the little "livability" touches like scaling the poly count, banking the ships, and rotating the starbases instead of trying to remember "well this is where a klingon base spits out, and this is where a fed base does, and borg resource docks can cause ships to get stuck if you get them too close to moons"

Awesome work. The game really has the Armada vibe. Can't wait to see your next update. Absolutely love your attention to the usability details.
May I suggest one possible improvement over the original game? It would be really helpful to have ship/fleet orders as a separate entity from the actual ship goal point (or patrol path). By this I mean the following:
- you could tell a ship to follow a patrol path
- the game creates an orders list for the ship (path points, maybe other parameters like weapons stance)
- now you built another ship and decided you want it to join the first ship.
- with the new ship selected, right-click on the original ship to have it follow the same order (path points, weapons stance, maybe other stuff like combat avoidance tactics, attack squadron formations, spacing from other ships on the same patrol order).
- alternatively, you could have a list of all currently defined orders. You could open this list and assign new ships to those orders as needed.
- now you want to send the original ship to some other destination. Send it away and the second ship will stay on the original patrol path (its following the original patrol order, not the first ship).
- an order will be removed/destroyed when all ships are removed from that order
I admit I haven't been playing many RTS titles in recent years, so maybe this is a common thing now and doesn't need detailed explanation. I'm borrowing this idea from Open Transport Tycoon (OpenTTD); kind of like giving detailed orders to trains in that game

- A visual indicator for those creating units within the editor (will not be seen in-game)

. Just to be clear though, you want to be able to right-click on an ally ship to copy its orders?Also, I have pretty cool update. We now have projectiles!

Looking nice
Yeah something like this. I'm not sure what the actual mechanic should be; right click, another button (guard, follow, copy-orders...), ctrl+right-click. Any method would do I suppose.
In the game I'm referencing, orders are a separate entity that can be shared (by-ref) or copied (instanced) between different units. This may be more than is necessary here.

Ah well once things are more fleshed out I'm definitely willing to try out a few things to achieve that!
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know the Armada 3 devs are on board and are helping me out a little bit. I was recently featured in their most recent blog post.

This looks impressive, was just curious if you were still working on it or if real life has intervened?
