@Capitals: Wow, thanks!
@jab & TeamConn: Thanks! You can enable/ disable the help menu by hitting 'H' or clicking the '?' button in the editor. Let me know if that didn't work.
@tbamberg: I totally agree, getting shot at doubles the fun :)
@Canyon: Thanks! You can only trade at planets at the moment, I did not have the time to implement other ships.
For anyone reading along, my twitter is @sezdev as is my facebook page.
Thanks to some amazing feedback I am really thinking of expanding on this. I would love to add some more in depth battle mechanic, better trading, more exploration, more everything and the ability to construct the inside of your vessel, adding loads of more possibilities. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it a lot!
