This is the space only battles that I decided to do. Since I seperated ground and air combat I'll be adding more things
![]() *Note* The people you play and fight with are not Z squad, don't know who i'll make them. The attachments are pictures of the human ships as of now, probally wouldn't change.

Look forward to the demo.
![]() Don't know if your engine supports it, but one trick that works for the background is to set the material to 100% emissive on your skycube. Right click on the material in AC3D, then move the emissive sliders until its completely white. This will help keep the walls of the cube from being visible. Make sure your set ambient and diffuse to black as well, it will keep the cube from getting over-saturated. Also, again, don't know if your engine supports it, another tip is to turn z-buffer writes *off* when you render the sky cube. This will make it seem like it is an infinite distance, even if it is much smaller. (This part you can't do in AC3D, but its helpful once you finally get your model in your game engine.) |

Here's a new frigate, the Fire. It's one of the enemy's and shoots out (as seen) small plasma missles. The missles are fairly powerful and the frigate itself is fast but it does not have shields. Instead it has a powerful hull, not too powerfull but strong enough to hold off a couple of blasts. The pink thing in the middle is the bridge.

I have come up with the background story for this one. You are in the same fleet but you play as the fighter squad instead of the marine squad(z squad). This is alittle more before hand than I had planned before so there is a second assualt frigate (won't give away how it gets destroyed
![]() Fleet Zealous: 1 Marine Cruiser, 2 Assault Frigate Fighter Squads: Searching… Beta Squad: Fighter 1: Pilot Raphael: Role: Assault Fighter 2: Pilot Marcus: Role: Defense Fighter 3: Pilot Joseph: Role: Assist Fighter 4: Pilot Jeremy: Role: Bomber Fighter 5: Pilot Johnson: Role: Heavy Fighter 6: You: Role: Any Number controls: Match number on num-pad with fighter number. Numbers above the letters give commands (1) attack (2) defend capital ship (3) Follow me (4) Go ahead of me (5) continuously fire (6) cancels order given Attack: will find the nearest enemy fighter and destroy it. Defend capital ship: will circle around the capital ship and insure than enemies do not get near. Follow me: the fighter will follow behind you, useful for cover fire and getting chasers off your tail. Go ahead of me: allows the fighter to move ahead of you, good for doing team bombing runs. Continuously fire: the fighter will draw the attention by firing non stop at every enemy ship, no matter the distance. Cancels order given: gives computer free will to do what they want.
