Under rating threshold (show) I like the update, but now the main problem might be that each match feels exactly same. Add something to make things interesting. Maybe random powerups? Rewards for kills? like for 5 kills you could build a turret near your base or send a swarm of weak drones to fight enemy ships. Add additional stations that can be captured by players? then for another team to get it, they first must destroy it, then capture when its neutral again. these stations could do something interesting. Also it would be great to choose game settings, station health, asteroid amount, map size, game mode? instead of station destroying how about good old death match? also ability to disable items that the host does not like. (this might be more useful once there are more items)

Under rating threshold (show) You need to work on torpedos, maybe add range limit. Currently i can just take the biggest ship, fill it with torpedos, shoot it at the direction where enemy base is without even leaving from my base, its easy to hit enemy base even when i dont see it because its always at the same damn place... Then i can just return to the base to refill torpedos, which means every 10-15 seconds im firing another 7 torpedos and usualy few of them hit. Also i was thinking you could add some type of mines. I mean, you can make them black, not so easy to spot, you could see your team's mines on radar, etc. Those could also be used to get rid of missiles after you if those are coming from right behind. But i like how torpedos and missiles can randomly turn around when shot while using a special move or when another torpedo blows up just far enough to affect it but not destroy it. And sometimes for some random reason that is not know... lol

Under rating threshold (show) Jormazz, quit spying on our design meetings!!! :) We've literally discussed having a station in the middle that you can fight for control of and which lets you become an engineer unit who can build different kinds of defense platforms (turrets or missile launchers) on the asteroids. In the next release, however (shorter term), we are experimenting with adding some AI players so at least there will always be someone to play against, allowing changes to perspective (down to first-person) and we'll see if we can get a lobby in place that allows the host to specify parameters like map size, asteroids, AI settings, etc (I like the idea of setting station health!) Please keep the comments coming :)

Under rating threshold (show) im pretty sure the mass driver is copied off the X series, and the alien ships are based off some race on space empires/starfury, but a great game anyway. if only there were more people who knew about it and played it, im gonna start trying to get people to play it with me now :) 4/5 also, when i change tabs or applications or press esc the mouse doesnt disappear when i click the game anymore, so i sometimes click outside the game while trying to shoot. it fixes up if i respawn again but still annoying sometimes.
