Update 0.715 Pre-Alpha - Asteroid belt, Grid, Camera rotation

Hello! We wish to please you with new update. Mostly it is preparation to new trading and AI, but also we have some bug fixes and improvements. First of all, all asteroids now relocated to large asteroid belt, it is more realistically, good looking and navigations in large asteroid belt is more easily than before. We like how it looks and we plan to improve it further by adding more stations and AI ships in further updates. Align camera rotation with ship - is returned back
Planets do not have asteroids on its orbit, but each asteroid from the belt still fully physically simulated, so you be able to push it to the planet orbit if you wish. When missions will be implemented, we will add couple of missions with this task. New grid makes a navigation much easier
Also we apologies for inconvenience for Mac users, we encountered strange issue during build and uploading and turned out that Mac users could not run the game during the week. Now this problem is solved and everything should runs okay. Note: Due new asteroid belt, previously saved worlds can't be loaded. Please start new game in order to play.

CHANGE LOG

Improvements

From now, all asteroids located in asteroid belt around the start. Asteroids around a planets is removed. Total amount of asteroid is increased. Size and mass of asteroids is increased
More visual variations of asteroids (5 additional models), in additional, each asteroids have random XYZ rotation.
New sound effect for light cannon and energy cannon
Added ability to display a grid, which helps to navigate and feel the continuous orbital motion
Added ability to rotate camera with ship (actually it returned back, but now it adapted for 3D, works good and stable)
From now, trade station located in asteroid belt, and player spawn point is located around this station. If station has been destroyed, plyer will respawn in random point of asteroid belt
Smooth factor of camera rotation is reduced, so it rotates a little bit faster
Added two new hotkeys for camera pan and rotate. In case if you don't have a mouse with middle button (link)

Fixes

Fixed build on Mac
Fixed position of power storages for enemy ships and trade stations (link)
Fixed height of solar panel power connector (link)
Collisions between shield and planet is disabled (link)
Fixed icon of buttons for time control

Celestial Command is a realistic sandbox space game which unites real space flight, real orbital mechanics, and all the fun of classic space action games.
We want to show how games about space actually should look, without silly vacuum friction and the maximum speed limit. As in the real world, everything in this game is in continuous motion in orbit.

Realistic Orbital Mechanic

This game is not about silly vacuum friction and maximum speed limitation. It is about real physics and orbital mechanics like in the real world! Get to know with orbital maneuvering, launching satellites and protecting planets from asteroids.

Fully customizable Ships

You can build your own ship part by part. Each part of the ship is individual, it has own functions and parameters. Therefore, abilities of your ship are completely dependent on the modules from which it is assembled. You can build small explorers, large industrial ships, carriers, defence satellites or whatever you want.

Ship Management

All resources of the ship are limited. Including fuel, energy, ammo and parts for repair, so store them and use them wisely.

Command a Fleet

You are not bound to the single ship. You can build as many ships and space stations as you want. And you can switch between them anytime.

Seamless Star System

Explore a procedural world filled with planets, asteroids, space stations and other fun stuff. The world of the game is completely seamless, you can zoom out from your ship to the whole star system.

Gather Resources

Survey asteroids for useful resources, extract it from planets or salvage wreckage of defeated enemies.

Multistage Production System

The extraction of raw materials is not enough to build a new ship. You need to process raw materials in special facilities to produce parts that are required to construct ship's modules.

Fight the Enemy

Build various types of devices to fight against enemies. Cannons, lasers, rockets, shields and other useful devices.

There you can explore the procedural world, find the resources, build any type of ships or space stations which you want, command your fleet and fight with enemies.
The game is 2D, so it is pretty easy and fun to play, but we implemented unique graphic style, which allows it to look like 3D with modern lighting and effects.

Also, the game has now been in active development, so if you are interested, check out our development blog for new features and future plans.
