You can now have it both ways in Gratuitous Space Battles. Having just reached version 1.60, this space strategy simulation game now affords you the luxurious option of having direct control over the ships you field, or not.
Here's the intel straight from Positech Games' Mr.Cliff Harris himself:
This isn’t just a minor tweak and bug fix, it adds some good stuff. You might want to update your copy, and try this one...
So what is in version 1.60 of Gratuitous Space Battles? Well a little list of tweaks but the two biggies are these:
1) New Feature: Direct control now lets you (optionally) issue orders or edit existing orders for ships mid-battle.
2) New Feature: Shockwave distortion and shield impact distortion effects have been added.
Baffled? Then just watch the accompanying explanatory video and prepare to revise your battle plans.
