Spaceships!

So finally something to spend the points on that you collect each level.

Not featured above is the Wicker-class, created by Dave Bissig (see some of his other ships here), which is one of the most manoeuvrable ships. I didn’t have a great photo of this so here’s a video of it in action at the bottom of this article.


The ships have slight differences in speed and manoeuvrability. By default, Unity3D gives these different turn rates depending on their size (I wrote about this here). But I’ve tweaked this to make some more special than others. Here’s at least 3 of them showing some differences:


However, one of the ships I was going to use just turned out to be too unmanouverable! Here’s the Darbis-class, which turns slowly and unfortunately is too easy to get stuck!

New obstacles

For extra interest, I’ve added some new things to avoid, including these npc spaceships.
