    Again, I swear to you, they have refered to "big rock features" as necesary engine mechanic additions. Things they mentioned like this were things like orbital, then planetary smashing, then alliance, then social features.

    It might hold the same definition, being galactic war, some serverside hooks exposed to the player to test them, some expanded social like clans or ladder, replays tested as savegames, it could very well be asteroids or gas giants.

    Although as a Vanguard having asked about this stuff, I have heard about galactic war, but if it were gas giants then it definitely came out of left field. However, Uber doesn't disclose many things to use that they wish to use in the element of suprise (burning trees).

    Oh, I was pretty sure I was going to need this after my original post, but I still thought it was funny. :)

    In the most recent livestream (I think) Scathis said that asteroid belts would work so that instead of their being hundreds of asteroids that are all mini planets, there will just be about 5, maybe 10 that are actually usable, the other thousand or so will just be decals.

    It will become too heavy and form a critical mass which triggers a black hole and swallows the entire solarsystem!!! VICTORY!!!

    Also this was pre-balancing; they haven't changed it since it's original .json file back in Alpha I believe so don't worry about it, I'm sure it'll be changed drastically- if it even appears in the game!

    I think you mixed up the gifs with the title, they're meant to be the other way around ;)

    im still waiting for properly working naval, underwater units, full water planets and underwater bases as described in the livestreams of uber, now you can only make planets with almost no water because its THAT bad...

    I completely agree that naval needs some love.
    Better pathfinding (the most important thing in my opinion), sinking wrecks and the underwater layer (submarines) are much needed to make naval a first class citizen.
    Also wakes from boat movements :D

    I'm waiting on naval love to! When they say under water bases what will that include? You can literally build under water?

    Would love the asteroid belts if I had to choose. On the other hand, don't much care what we get, as it will be awesome! Just hope it is before the weekend.
