Physics Recalibration + Continuum Controls + Zone Presets

[⛊ Quigybobo]

Major update (Videos on discord) — Ship physics now feel more authentic to the original game, every key binding mirrors Continuum's defaults (changeable in options), and the zone editor gets a full preset save/load system.

Physics Overhaul

• Corrected the SS→BA conversion factors. • Validated against dotproduct (1:1 SS physics) and Continuum binary analysis

• All 8 hull classes recalibrated: speed, thrust, gravity, gravity_top_speed, burst_speed • All SVS variant blocks updated

• Weapon speeds recalibrated across all 6 weapon types • Ships should now feel like actual Subspace/Continuum movement

Continuum-Mirror Keybindings

• Every key now matches the Continuum client's default keyboard layout

• Home=Stealth, Shift+Home=Cloak, End=XRadar, Shift+End=AntiWarp

F3=Rocket, F4=Brick, F5=Decoy, F6=Thor, Shift+Delete=Burst

• Shift+Ctrl=Repel, Shift+Tab=Mine, Delete=Multifire

• [/]=Cycle consumables, Backspace=Camera reset • Tutorial overlay and HUD updated to show all new bindings

• Veterans can drop in and their muscle memory works instantly

Zone Preset System

• Save current zone config as a named preset (Ctrl+N) • Browse and load presets (Ctrl+P) • Import/export presets as .toml files for sharing (Ctrl+I/Ctrl+E) • Delete, rename presets from the browser

• Title bar shows active preset name or [Custom] if modified • Share your zone configs with other players

Also in this build

• SVS is the only reference source for ship values for testing physics.
