Is there going to be any update? It's been quiet lately

After rereading my comment, I realized something and will add it.

In the games that I have listed, there is an element of self-creation and design of spaceships, these are literally their main advantages.

If you manage to implement this in addition to multiplayer, then well, I know many who will buy it without hesitation.

Actually not that far away. According to the idea, it was supposed to be a space combat simulator with N-body physics, where each celestial body, in proportion to its mass and distance from others, affected the rest, including the player's ship itself.

But I ran into a misunderstanding of how to implement the prediction of the movement of the player's ship, let alone other features. In fact, all that was ready was the gravity system (the celestial bodies were not nailed to the routes of movement, their speed was set in the initial configuration and could change) the ship and a simple control system for it by giving it acceleration along its relative axes, including rotation and a little bit of textures.

As for your game, if you manage to add multiplayer to your project, it will be an EXTREMELY serious bid for the success of the game, perhaps even financially, all that I know of on the market is literally either games that do not have weapons (KSP), or no orbits (Space Engineers), or no multiplayer (Children of the Dead Earth).
Adding multiplayer will set this game apart from others, all that's needed next is to add more presentable graphics, easy-to-implement but entertaining game modes, and you have a project ready that will attract a fairly wide niche of players, and the game itself will not have competitors in the market.

First of all, you're just great, I once also tried to make a game with similar gameplay, but in 3 dimensions, you got a great game, you really should not abandon it.

I can suggest a couple of ideas.:

1. Fragmentation shells for the main turret, you can make sure that their fuse can be adjusted using the mouse wheel, and after the timer expires, they fly apart in a multitude of fast-flying fragments.

2. The rail gun is like a directional gun, shoots only at the ship's course, is many times less susceptible to gravity and pierces enemy ships through

3. Multiplayer, God, that would be great, especially in a late game where the screen turns into a chaotic frenzy and you just don't have time to keep track of everything.
