In the hornet commercial we see the Aurora's lasers (or bullets) zipping past its target and hitting the nearby asteroids causing debris (rock) to break off and drift into space. This effect is absent in AC but can we expect it in the final game?asked by Moggel

Yes! Ok I won't just give a one word answer here either :-P. There are a few asteroids that you can shoot and blow into pieces that we already have in AC, but that's something we're working on, we need to have the asteroids break apart and be synchronised across the network properly without increasing network traffic too much, and that's part of a whole new network prediction scheme that we're putting in for V1.0 which will hopefully allow us to scale a lot more ships in space, which is quite a clever little spline based prediction dead reckoning system, so for anyone that's doing network stuff that may mean something to you. But it'll also help us do stuff with asteroids and other rigid bodies moving around in space, which will have a big effect on the PU and AC.
