It's impossible to find a tut with cussing in it so I always come back to my mother flocking favorite one🤣

One small change I would make is instead of using choose to randomize a behavior, to have each behavior run in a sequence, unless there’s a reason for it being randomized that I’m not seeing

Couldn't you make the ship call the steering function only when a change in direction is needed? In the meantime, it will just travel in it's current direction. Wouldn't this make the game faster since its not using processing power constantly?

Hi, thanks for your videos they are very useful, would it be possible to see a video on how to disable everything that is not framed by the camera so as to have a performance boost?

This is awesome, did you ever get my email on slowing down the ships rotation speed so they dont just "flip" 180 degrees in a split second?
