How space strategy sim Nebulous channels eight years in the US Navy
- In a space strategy sim called Nebulous, Liliana, a US Navy veteran, emphasizes the importance of sleek ship design for radar stealth, based on her military experience.
- Nebulous goes beyond typical 'fog of war', considering radar reflections, electronic warfare tactics, and ship signatures in detail.
- The game simulates radar physics realistically within its constraints, enhancing gameplay fidelity.
- Liliana's real-world naval experience heavily influences Nebulous' focus on practical ship details, differing from games like Homeworld.
- The game addresses complex aspects like missile functionalities and emphasizes the importance of realism without being obsessed with it.
- Nebulous players, influenced by mechanics, have surprised Liliana with playstyles that do not align with her initial expectations, prompting adjustments.
- Upcoming single player campaign aims to ease new player entry, while AI improvements enhance non-player ships' behaviour and strategy.
- Nebulous balances realism with gameplay, fuelled by Liliana's insights from her naval service, offering a blend of strategic depth and performance.
- AI in Nebulous reflects tactical archetypes and strategic decision-making in line with the game's evolving dynamics and player behaviour.
- Liliana aims to imbue Nebulous with naval microcosm elements, like crew morale and ship operations, to lend realism and depth to the game's military setting.
