2.8 has been released to battle.net. 5 secondary weapons have been added, 2 are unlocked by default. Orbital War has been redesigned, and performance improvements to the map have been implemented. Ill try to get a video of the map up soon.

I doubt anyone is reading this page at the time I'm writing this, but I'm still at work updating this project. I'm trying to get a new release in for this weekend, which will have many new gameplay improvements:

• Secondary Weapons which are fired by right clicking. These weapons are much more powerful than left-click asteroids, but have a recharge time before they may be used again. These weapons offer both defensive and offensive utility to help make the game more dynamic. Only 1 Secondary Weapon can be equipped per round. Additional weapons can be unlocked as you gain ranking in the game.
• Complete redesign of the Orbital War game mode. Players now start with 100 HP and lose hp when hit by objects. At 0 HP, a planet will explode, applying a force to all objects around them. Last planet alive wins.
• Unlockable star systems to play on. This might not make the update this weekend, but is still on my list regardless.
• Performance improvements. I'm at work optimizing my galaxy code to run faster over battle.net. I'm considering upping the player count to 5 or even 6 depending on lag.

Beta version available on the PTR! (Should be near top of the game list) Sorry, no AI bots yet so you'll need at least one other person to have a proper game. Also, I'll be updating the PTR version soon to have a non-invasive tutorial. If you play PLEASE leave me comments on your thoughts. I'm trying to polish it as best as I can before releasing it for patch 1.3.
