One of the complaints that we have had while play testing Eterium was that the navigation hazards like asteroid fields and mine fields were too difficult for some players.

Note: These updates will not be added to the demo (anytime soon).

One of the earlier versions of the Eterium 3.0 engine supported specular maps, but that had been removed as we abandoned support. I have added back specular support for cockpits. While it [...]
