Good ideas, good gameplay... nothing els works. Not being able to return to menu is a real problem. If I'm leaving a game, until I refresh, I'm just dead weight. That's not real cool. IMO, it's gotten a bit overrated here.
Hehe, nah, we all tell DD he has no life. He knows we're just joking around, though. And we know that he swam from one island to the other. That's not a common thing to do...
List of challenges:
1: Destroy 7 aliens with one blast (no powerups)

5: Win game without ever being hit.
6: Win game by only making single kills.
7: win game by only making double kills.
8: Shoot all aliens up to level 8 before the make a single shot
9: Shoot four differant types of UFO at once.
10: Reach #1 on today's scores.
Well, all of them were possible tell it left beta testing, and just now playing it, I'm pretty sure it's still possible. Have fun with those tell we get badges, and good job Grainy! ;)
I find Enforcers worthy adversaries, and Hydras powerful allies, but not overpowerd. How many of those Hydra haters know that it recently was nerfed? It's speed used to be 12... that WAS overpowerd ;)
Under "Community" on the navigation bar in kong, you will see a button "Change Avatar" Click it. In the middle of the page you get, there will be a button to upload images from you computer. Click it then select what you want.
Lag will always be in MP. It's not that hard to compensate, and it's there for your opponents too. As for your lag being worse now then it was before, it probably has to do with the amount of players, or other players lag. Other then that, maybe the game has mood swings? =)
GentleSturn, please look at the other comments. I posted the post directly below yours; and has a link that tells you everything you need to know for the ranks. Also, many people in chat will be able to tell you about the ranks.
This will answer questions about what ship you get when. What coldbeets posted is correct, however, this is more in depth. Hope it helps.

Danic, while you're in a station, click the button that says "join/create gang". There you will see a list of gangs to chose from. Each station has differant gangs. Some gangs will have a password, you can often find the gang leader in chat, ask them for the pass, or what you need to do in order to get the pass. Hope that helps you.
Rooy, assuming you put in an email address, entering it here will give you your pass.
