Yes, it is the same. (Presumably, you were sucked in by the gravity field anyway, and your damage to the Firebolt was only damage, not death, which they later repaired :P)
Check that: you can, but you have to press the button on the reserve ships, and it won't let you assign less than max w/o entering the panel twice. I would rather that be made more clear, and the programming probably still isn't how you intended it to be (my guess, based on nothing but how I would do it were I programming it.)
Small thing to point out: when you assign ships in the "Heros" tab, you cannot assign the hero any more ships if your reserve fleet of the type of ship that the hero has is less than the heros current ships, because it considers the reserve ships and the ships that the hero has to be separate.
5/5. Great art, great story, and best of all, a find-the-differences game that DOESN"T REQUIRE A COMPUTER PROGRAM TO FIND THE ONE VARYING PIXEL BY A DIFFERENCE OF ONE IN THE HEXADECIMAL CODE FOR THE COLOR. *pant, pant* Sorry, just expressing my exhaspiration at all the other "find the difference" games. This one is very well made, thus the 5.
It would be nice to be able to keep the person in the bottom left hidden even if we change screens - if I hide the bunny, I don't want the bunny to reappear when I switch to solar system view!
4/5. Fun, but somewhat laggy, even on low quality. May just be CPU I'm using, but I don't think this computer should have issues. It's also repetitive after a while - not too much happens.
