I love complex starship games like this. Had a slightly irritating time figuring out how long it took to fire a torpedo.
It'd be nice if you could toggle an auto-target feature for the torpedoes and maybe delegate an AI to the turret so it'd be a bit easier to select targets and defend against enemy torps.
Other than that the game is pretty easy, just fly circles around the enemy so you don't have to adjust your turret facing too much, and make sure they don't flank your ship. It's a bit harder with the stabiliser off (nice touch).
Besides the turret being a little hard to use while making maneuvers, it would have been cool if there were port and starboard thrusters too.
I love the shield controls, very useful. I look forward to seeing the author make more content (maps, missions, gear, etc.). If this were polished a bit and on shelves I'd totally buy it.
