DEV LOG

Public site, admin mission editor, IFF fix

• SCSI is now reachable at a public URL with its own landing page (this site) and a login-gated entry point for the game itself.
• The mission editor is now available on the deployed site too, gated to admin accounts — missions authored there save to a database and show up in every player's mission list immediately, no redeploy needed.
• Selected ship cards now show faction (friendly/hostile), current stance, and current target + range.
• Fixed: a texture bug that had every ship's hull skin backwards — enemies were rendering in the "friendly" skin and vice versa.
• Drone speed brought down to something less absurd.

Drone swarms & kamikaze AI

• Carriers can now launch and recall drone swarms in formation.
• Drones that run out of guided ammo against a capital ship will ram it rather than disengage.
• Camera follow, skybox variety, and assorted UI polish.

Gameplay & performance pass

Fleet composition tuning and performance improvements across the board.

SR-series fleet replaces the legacy hulls

The original placeholder ship types were retired in favor of the current SR-series lineup (frigate, cruiser, dreadnought, destroyer, and the rest), along with loadout fixes.

Weapons, visuals, and missions overhaul

A major pass across weapon types, ship visuals, ship type definitions, mission content, and skybox variety.

Combat & movement improvements

Refinements to how ships maneuver and fight.

System map, ship builder, mass-based physics

Added the system map view, a full ship builder/loadout overhaul, and mass-based flight physics instead of flat movement stats.

Real 3D models arrive

Git LFS set up for model/texture assets; the first real ship models (Destroyer-K4) replaced placeholder geometry, alongside the initial modular refactor — sensor overlays and the loadout editor both date from here.

Project start

Split out of a single monolithic HTML file into proper ES modules — the foundation everything since has been built on.
