Hey everyone! Here's another Developer Update covering enemy drillships, wrecked drillships, turret modules, screenshot contest and more.

ENEMY DRILLSHIPS

• Each drillship will have its devices and COGs that will guard it
• You will be able to attack the drillships for loot and even destroy them completely
• If enemy drillship is on a specific landing site, it blocks the point and you won't be able to surface there with your ship

ENEMY DRILLSHIP CREW

• When an eruption is coming, all COGs will return to the drillship and go under (this will add more interesting situations where you might run into a group of COGs "going to work" or running from the eruption as well)
• If you land in the same landing site node as the enemy drillship, COGs will keep attacking your drillship

TURRET MODULE

DESTROYED DRILLSHIPS

• If drillship's hull HP drops to 0, it will explode and be destroyed, killing everything inside and in close proximity
• This can happen when all modules are destroyed by enemies, or by a volcanic eruption
• Torso of the destroyed drillship stays on the landing site until it is scraped for resources or future eruption takes it away completely
• If your or COG drillship lands on the point, the torso will be removed as well

NEXT UP

• Finalize implementation of all the features mentioned above
• Localization support - community will be able to create translation sheets for the game
• Testing, testing and more testing so we can hopefully release a new update next week
