Recently I bought a Surface Pro tablette. I've never owned any tablette because I've never found them useful except for browsing internet and getting my mails, which I can do on my desktop, iPod or phone already. The only reason why I've bought it is because it is a computer just like a laptop than can be handled like a tablette. The best thing about this is that I can work on DSS when I'm away from home.
So I've been playing with it while being away and worked out the windows touch API to implemented it in my game.
Here's the result:
2 fingers to "grab" the grid for translation, zoom and rotation on Z axis. 3 fingers to rotate on X/Y axis.
It might not be the most efficient way to zoom in as you can achieve faster zoom with the mouse wheel. But it is very intuitive, you just grab the grid and manipulate it like you wish. Also, I was thinking to implement double tap for quick zoom in.

It can take up to a few hours for tweets to begin appearing.
Will you be able to conquer planets? will there be ground battles, or just auto-resolve?
DSS focuses on space settlement, so it takes place in space only.
That's a bit baffling. It would be great if planets are added. But meh, still is a very impressive work! Congratulations!
Nice design, I pretty like the ship editor. Cant wait.. :)
WHEN WILL THIS BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD?
There is no exact date planned yet. A rough estimate for the alpha/beta release would be Q2 2013.
but...but....the world will have ended by then.
Indeed, would be great to get this sooner! It's looking very good.
Guys it's only a universe patch, servers will be down for a few days but that is all.
No, fortunately.
