Hello! In the previous update we added a tech tree and possibility to scan debris, but this is not enough for science! In this update we are added another way to obtain a science data! Now you can scan planets and other celestial bodies using special, new module, orbital scanner.
In order to scan, it should be close to the planet and directed on it. In orbital mechanics mode, "keep your ship always directed to a planet" - it is quite an interesting task. In order to do that, you should calculate a proper angular velocity. It is quite simple and depends of orbital period (duration of one rotation on a orbit). For example, if orbital period = 120 seconds, it means that your ship should make one full turn (360 degrees) during these 120 seconds. 360 / 120 = 3 deg\s. So all what you need is to keep your angular velocity at 3 deg\s and your ship will be always directed to the planet! Later we will add a special tool (unlockable via research tree) which will automatically direct your scanning ship on the planet, but at this moment, you may use a way described above. Also we want to remind that the game still have 20% discount! Thanks! In the next update we are going to add something even more significant.

CHANGE LOG

Improvements

Added possibility to obtain science data by scanning moons \ planets \ stars \ black holes
Added new module: Orbital scanner
Added more powerful version of mining laser
Starting ship now have a grabber, so you can perform delivery missions using normal way
Changed names of many modules (so now it have more Sci-Fi classification)
Renamed "Allow usage" to "Allow consume fuel" for fuel tanks
Capacity of Cargo container 2 changed from 120 to 280 (so it no longer useless), same for long fuel tank

Fixes

Long names of the modules now properly displayed in build menu
Fixed incorrect description of some modules
Fixed incorrect empty lines and spaces in some descriptions
"Advanced mining" research no longer useless

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.
