AtV

• Anvil Terrapin scheduled to release in Alpha 3.1

• 114 ships and their variants introduced thus far in the development of the game in numerous roles

• First concept of 2018 is a multiprofessional “jack-of-all-trades” starter ship called the Aegis Vulcan covering refueling, repairing and rearming

• The Aegis Vulcan gives just enough support to get those helped back on their way

• It's a three person ship with four drones and two drone stations

• Only two drones can be operated at a time and a drone can only perform one function at a time

• Extra drones serve as redundancies

• The Vulcan has basic living accommodations as well as a small cargohold and an extended fuel tank

• Drone mechanics will be similar to those on Cry-Astro stations

• The Vulcan is industrially designed and styled with rear tailgate access and an elevator; basically a baby reclaimer in style

• After 80 iterations, there are three liveries done for the ship

• This ship allows one a taste of the support professions before investing and possibly wasting lots of time and energy in a full time profession

• Terrapin is the first exploration specialisation ships: to go into the unknown and surviving!

• It's relatively modest and unimposing: advantageous as when someone sees you they know you’re not there to pick a fight.

• The current thruster system hasn't implemented heat yet: overheating will make thrusters a lot less reliable and introduce errors.

• Maneuvering thrusters are for instantaneous thrust. Sustained thrust thrusters (like the Terrapin's VTOLs) are required for hovering in atmosphere.

• Terrapin is the first major walkable Anvil interior and defines the look: hexagons and 30 degree angles everywhere!

• Anvil has lots of analogue controls: sleeker than Drake but still bulky and militaristic.

• The scanner array chair rotates and the control panel now doubles as a safety harness.

• Terrapin will break into three main parts: nose, body and tail. Doors, thrusters and weapons also break off.

• Art is looking real good, effect good but need a couple tweeks, damage system is being implemented.

• Calix is very happy about implementing a light switch that correctly integrates with power, light groups and the interaction system.
