ScrumbleShip is the most accurate space combat simulation devised to date. Gather resources, construct a capital ship out of individual blocks, then pilot it with AI or human help against other players.

Careful observers will notice at LEAST one thing currently happening in the picture that could not previously happen. Extremely careful observers will notice two things.
10 points for each thing. Go!

Those are some strange angles in the picture. Let me guess: 6 DOF player rotation and ship rotation?
Hey, those are some keen eyes you've got there! Yup, you've got both the things in one! The player rotation basically works 100%, but is turned off by default - Classic rotation, bound to a static up/down, is still the default.
The ship rotation is still a work in progress. Currently ships rotate around their center of mass (Like they would in real life). Well, mostly anyway. Currently, the grid that the ship is embedded in /doesn't/ move along with the image of the ship, resulting in some VERY strange hit detection. That'll go away with time and polish.
Cheers!
Whoa, didn't expect to get it right! I only thought of player rotation because of that giant "4SALE4 sign turned 90 degrees.
