Cosmoteer

Cosmoteer 0.15.0New Feature: Squads & RolesCrew are now organized into \"squads\" of 2 or 6, where every crew bunk or quarters is a single squad.Individual crew are automatically assigned to squads but can be manually moved different squads.When crew are idle they will now always return to their squad\'s home quarters instead of going back to the closest one.Ships now have one or more \"roles\" for their crew, up to 20 different roles.Each squad is assigned a role for the entire squad. If a ship has multiple roles, different squads can be assigned to different roles, but individual crew within a squad all use the same role. Roles for a squad can be changed at any time.Each role can have a custom name, shirt color (also the color of their bedsheets), and set of job priorities.For each role, each job can be set to a priority between 1 and 10, where a higher priority number will take precedence over a lower priority number (i.e., crew will do a 10 job before doing a 1 job) or disabled completely (so crew with that role will never do that job).If a crew bunk/quarters is destroyed, the individual crew that used to be part of that squad will retain their role (and thus any custom priorities) but will wander around the ship randomly until they find a job to do.

Cosmoteer 0.14.11New Feature: Direct Control Mode\"Direct Control Mode\" is a new mode that the player can turn on to assume direct control over a ship\'s flight and weapons.Click the Direct Control Mode button to toggle it on an off, or press its default hotkey Ctrl+D.While in Direct Control Mode, the camera will be locked onto the ship and cannot be controlled other than zooming in and out. (Although there are some options that can be turned on to make the camera \"follow\" the mouse cursor; see below.)While in Direct Control Mode, use the WASDQE or arrow keys to fly your ship. By default the W/Up keys go forward, the S/Down keys go in reverse, the A/Left keys rotate counter-clockwise, the D/Right keys rotate clockwise, the Q key strafes left, and the E key strafes right, but these keys can be customized in the control settings.While in Direct Control Mode, your weapons will aim at the location of your mouse cursor. (This can be disabled; see below.)To fire weapons, click the mouse button to which the desired weapons are bound. By default, turreted weapons are bound to the left mouse button and fixed weapons are bound to the right mouse button. Weapon bindings can be customized by selecting the weapon and opening its extras menu. (Weapon firing can be disabled; see below.)Weapons can also be set to have no binding, in which case they will be controlled by the regular weapon A.I. even in Direct Control Mode.While in Direct Control Mode, you can hold the Ctrl key to select weapons and target enemy parts. Targeting enemy parts is useful for missiles (so that they know what target to seek toward) and will also enable friendly-fire damage if targeting a friendly ship. You can also use the 0-9 keys to select part control groups.If any parts are selected, only the selected parts will be fired. Unselected parts will not fire even if you are pressing their binding.
