    Okey, i have some questions for Uber, they seem to answer questions in their weekly updates but i have no idea were they get these questions. So il just post them here and hold my thumbs that someone from Uber answers them or forward my questions so that they will be answered in a video or something.

    Its about orbeting moons and astroids.

    According to the PC gamer interview (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/08/15/plane ... interview/) you can build engines on both astroids and moon and instead of crashing them into planets move them into orbit to use like a huge awsome carriers (or mobile fire bases or whatever).

    Could we get alittle bit more detail on how this feature is planned? (I know your still early in the code but you must have some ideas and plans laid out).

    If you build unit cannons like in the trailer on one side of the moon can you then rotate the moon so that those faces the planet? Or will they fire into space and somehow double back using gravity?

    When you move a moon into orbit will it stay at a fixed position some distance from the planet or will it realy orbit around the planet? Can you decide were it will stay/orbit?

    If you build engines on a moon and then send it somewhere and the enemy tries to crash a astroid into it, what will happen? Will the astroid follow the moon in some weird giant cat and mouse game?


    Edit: Feel free to post your own questions for Uber, just try to make sure they havent been answered allredy somewhere (If a question allredy has a answer from the devs feel free to forward it here).

    There are no final questions to these answers. Everyone can feel free to speculate on the best way to do this stuff.

    Well, I think then it will be a shitty game, because it doesn't exist.

    Not exactly a Freudian slip. That's when you say one thing but mean your mother.
