Backer’s Exclusive Pre-Alpha now up!

• Basic start on the ship controller. Use the [ and ] keys to increase/decrease the engine power. Use WASD to use the thrusters (intended for docking/precision type movement). Mouse still controls the direction of travel, though this will be split out soon in favor of a free moving camera (twinstick style). Camera travel lag removed because it couldn’t handle the speed.
• Simple collision
  
• Non PhysX ship in this edition.
• Prototype ship parts browser, apply now exits properly (it doesn’t prompt yet)
• Multiple colored parts in the ship browser as a stand-in for the paint shop
• No performance tuning yet
• No settings menus yet
• Speed capped around 4 km/s due to some UE4 constraints.
• Added icon and load screen
  
• Fixed some minor lighting bugs
• Attached UI to the C++ based updates
• Enable/disable things like Vulkan, RTX, DX12 manually from the command line. For example, you can run it with Vulkan using the -vulkan or -vk switch. You can run it with all raytracing features in by using -dx12 If you want to compare dx12 RTX on vs off, you can press the right ctrl key, and it will toggle RTX on/off.

Make sure to provide feedback on what you like/dislike, be as specific as you can or you could well end up with a game you don’t like
