Hey everyone, this is one of the civilian ships we're making for a game we are currently working on, here is some lore:
**Function:** The surveyor is a lightly crewed ship (2-4 crew) that goes out into as of yet poorly mapped regions of the huge swath of space known as the Perseus Bridge. It's looking for resource rich asteroids or other resources useful for building and sustaining colonies. It's crew takes great pride in their self assigned surveying missions, often calling themselves "The Tamers of Deep Space" around the trade hubs. It is here where they normally sell their carefully gathered data in exchange for supplies, weapons or even protection from other factions. In dire situations, the crew abandons the ship in favor of the Radar escape pod which detaches from the main spacecraft and immediately starts signaling other civilian ships for rescue. However, due to its predilection for deep space exploration, these signals are rarely picked up. The margins of explorable space are riddled with such Radar pods still in function long after their owners’ demise.
**Defense:** The Surveyor uses its weapon hardpoint as its primary anti-piracy deterrent, but is also known to transport a few defensive drones when venturing out into unknown or pirate-controlled regions of space. Some versions also have a few PDC emplacements to defend against stray asteroids and the occasional missile.
Equipment:- Long range scanning sensors
\- Comms array
\- 2 Main thrusters-
1 Main cannon hardpoint (for defense against pirates and privateers)
\- 2-3 PDC emplacements (for defense against rogue asteroids and pirates)-
Small hangar bay
\- Missile rack emplacement (Optional)
Not everything will make it into the game, but it's hard to resist geeking out about stuff like this
There is, and glad you found it, speaking of the newsletter/devlog, i should get off my ass and write one, been a while , and there's a lot to talk about
Eyy, my inability to do a quick check came in handy! I passed the link to my gaming clan's Free Games section, making sure to let the content creators now about it. If a video about it is made, I'll be sure to let you know.
I love these designs. I've actually seen a few screenshots in some Game Dev subs about the turret designs and ship loadout. The designs are super sexy. I love the finish on them the most IMO.
Thanks, knowing people like and remember the other ships means a lot. Up until not long ago, our game was basically only a vertical slice of the combat part, but now that that's in a decent shape, we started on the world building part, and that's really exciting

Excuse me, why is there no link to any information or newsletter or literally anything else so giant nerds like myself can follow it?
I'm stupid, I found it by clicking your name. Ignore me.

Cheers, right on , man!
/r/MildlyPenis Looks good, and I understand why it looks how it looks. But..
Uhm...yeah.. it just turned out that way. Too bad Genital Jousting is taken, would have been a good name for a spaceship combat game

Reminds me of Deep Space 69
