VoidMech 0.1.0-alpha.1

The first alpha: the demo as a Windows installer.

Added

• A block-built ship. Build in the dock from hull, armor, thrusters, gyros, reactors, shields, weapons, cargo and more, with undo and redo, mirror across up to three planes, a select tool (move, turn, copy, cut, paste, paint) and live stats and warnings that say how the ship will fly before it does.
• Newtonian flight with a flight computer for steering, a camera that follows and free-looks, a HUD, and spatial sound.
• Power, shields and damage. Reactors feed a power grid, shields absorb and break, and a ship that is shot, rammed or starved comes apart block by block.
• Weapons and tools. Cannon, laser, railgun, a cloak and mining lasers, with hostile cycling and an aim lock.
• Worlds that save themselves. An asteroid belt arena with stations, docking ports and a guided docking approach, mining into a hold and unloading into the station's stock, repairs at the dock, and the Ship Catalog and World Catalog.
• A populated arena. Patrols, NPC miners that mine, dock and unload, and raiders and guards that fight, with radio chatter.
• A Windows installer (per user, no administrator) and a zip of the same folder. The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen warns on first run: More info, Run anyway.
