Engine and interface updates

The 3.0 iteration moves the game to the improved space and planetary terrain engine and art and model assets used in the games. The graphics engine is updated, with a Shader Model 3.0 graphics card required. The DLC also updates the planetary terrain engine with new texture and mesh assets, the character animation engine, and shader and special effects assets based on the improved graphics engines.

The 3.x game kernel provides ongoing bug fixes and improvements. The AI and audio engines are improved, as are the user interface and first-person interface, along with planetary terrain mission zones and bases.

Updated assets

Art assets are improved for NPC crew and key characters, including officers, pilots and crew. Model assets are improved across game objects, including characters, weapons and inventory items, vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft, stations, starbases and terrain objects.

The updated craft interface includes 3D-rendered cockpits and capital-ship bridges for 28 capital ships, 29 fighters, three shuttles and five gunships. Ground vehicles and naval assets use the first-person interface instead. The DLC also includes the full Game Builder System (GBS) for creating mission-script content.
