Reus-class medium fighter taking laser fire and returning same to multiple targets. In The Black #spacecombat #screenshotsaturday

Space Towers youtu.be/JALWHqUCLOM One day we may retire our rockets and instead reach the heavens by ascending towers so tall they dwarf mountains, and rise above the sky itself.

Major milestone achieved: 1000th successful development build for In The Black!

When we chose Saturn as the primary setting for In The Black, we discussed the analogous effects of nuclear-powered spacecraft flying through Saturn's rings. Needless to say, attempting to simulate this would have an intolerable impact on framerate. Sigh.

New Neutron - now with 4 symmetric strakes and deployable landing gear. The gear adds some complexity but almost certainly makes the thermal situation a whole lot easier.

Thank you, Downtoearthastronomy for posting your first impressions of In The Black! We encourage everyone to check it out (and if you're a space game enthusiast, be sure to like and subscribe to the channel!) youtu.be/dcVN586iTpo?si…

We really love realistic spaceships!

More kind words about In The Black from Wyatt Stueven. Thank you!!! youtu.be/e1d4yV051sQ?si…

Love it when new discoveries support worldbuilding for In The Black! We blew up Saturn's moon Pallene to justify a dense cluster of objects, so it's nice to know there are natural binaries this close to each other.

wip :)

Yes, please!

We're thrilled to see Glarus has posted 3 videos featuring In The Black, starting with this great comparison between us and some more famous space combat games. #spacecombat youtu.be/4OHK0Hmi3VI?si…

Another great design for a realistic combat spacecraft!

Thanks, ToughSF for another wonderful share! Thanks, Melänovis for this beautifully rendered vision of a near (?) future spaceship. Your outstanding attention to details, both aesthetic and scientific, is inspiring! We love the name, too! Winchell Chung⚛🚀

Off-world development is how humanity creates a post-scarcity civilization.

If nothing else works, a good old ramming will do the job. Glarus takes out Wessmaniac (again) In The Black youtu.be/KDxEV_oC4WQ?si… via YouTube Another playtest with the devs coming up today at 12:30 EST!

Super grateful to LT Gaming for their awesome preview of In The Black youtu.be/cNBJtpKlMo0?si…
