  Post-Next Fest Version: Future Improvements and Optimization Direction

  Hello Core Binders,We are the development team behind Nova Era: Atom.Thank you all so much for participating in the Nova Era Atom Steam Next Fest demo, and for providing us with an incredible amount of feedback and warm wishes. We have compiled the most frequently discussed and highly anticipated topics from the current version to share our upcoming development roadmap with you.1. Light Cruiser ControlsThe ships available in the current demo are all Light Cruisers. We will be iterating and polishing Light Cruiser controls at a much deeper level, with the goal of delivering a top-tier ship handling and shooting experience.In the next version, we plan to equip Light Cruisers with a much smoother handling experience, offering faster responsiveness for basic maneuverability like acceleration and turn-aiming. At the same time, we will be unlocking the Y-axis (which was locked in the current demo) to offer players a more dimensionally rich, 3D space. We will also improve the visual representation of ship maneuverability during high-speed movement, as well as hit feedback for weapons and skills.The following areas will also be improved:Chassis Redesign Based on Class Roles: Ship chassis will be redesigned around their specific class identities to better fit their skill sets and basic handling feel. (e.g., Assault-class chassis will feel heavier and sturdier, with slower turning and acceleration compared to Recon ships, but players can compensate for this lower mobility by equipping other component advantages).Key Rebinding for Major Functions: New keymapping support will be added, making it easier for players to customize their controls.Ship & Camera Zoom Functionality: Players will be able to adjust the distance between the ship and the camera using the mouse scroll wheel, providing optimal visibility and catering to different visual preferences.FOV Adjustments During Displacements: We are tuning the Field of View (FOV) behavior during ship displacements to deliver a stro...
