Make the ships in the title screen fight!
« on: November 16, 2022, 06:54:12 PM »

Sometimes, when I boot up starsector, I just like to sit and watch the title screen. I love watching the randomly-generated ships burn across the screen, using their systems, and being gentle white noise via engine burning. I think it would be super cool to have in the game (even if it is just cosmetic!)

1. Game Starts
2. Two ships spawn (can be any size, any variant)
3. These ships fight it out
4. One ship is disabled/destroyed, and its wreckage slowly fades out
5. A new ship is spawned, winner retains the damage across battles
6. These ships fight it out
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until desired consistency is achieved

Does that seem doable? I'm afraid this might be too much of an ask, as I don't know how the title screen's processing works.

+1 I always found the title screen to be lacking and would love some Gratuitous Space Battles on the menu
