BOOM! Ships now go out with a bang when fatally damaged, their remaining propellant fueling spectacular explosions. Keep your distance – the effect isn't purely visual!

I've revamped the damage system for more realistic combat: both mass and velocity now determine impact damage. Bullets won't hurt Earth anymore (that was always a bit weird), but they can still tear through ship hulls at high speeds.

While this means our previous enemy gunners can't threaten Earth directly anymore, something far worse has arrived.

Meet the bomber. These methodical killers deploy massive, glowing warheads toward the surface.

Each bomb packs incredible destructive power – just a handful could reduce Earth to rubble. Intercept these bombs (at a safe distance) before they reach the surface!

Earth Needs You to stop the bombardment
