@lino even when there was multiplayer, gangs still really had no use, the only other thing in-game that involved gangs was a special gang chat, there were 3 chats, all chat, sector chat, and gang chat, so you could talk to people just in your gang, although practically that didn't really have much of a use for gameplay anyway, unless you were in some super organized gang that carried out organized attacks in multiplayer (too bad almost none of those existed) then gangs are pretty much the same.
Their was also an out of game element of a gangs leaderboard that listed the gangs based on number of cumulative kills, but that had no effect on gameplay.

Autopilot + Engine Overdrive = Epic Win!
Brilliant game. I would love to see multiplayer again, but even without it, this game is still one of the best games on Kongregate! I have made this game a favourite and rated it 5/5.
Oh, I almost forgot...
ALIENS FTW!

what do i have from a gang now that there is no multiplayer? do i get something else than changing the colour of my ship from joining a gang?

I've played this game for about a year now (On my older account), and I remember how much I loved the multiplayer, its a shame. Even though the game is only single player now it still deserves a 5/5. Good job, and I cant wait for other upcoming projects.

2011
I suspect a lot of game devs say this and never achieve it, but I would really like to release more games this year. Rather than focussing on 2 or 3 epic games, I would find it much more fun to experiment quickly with different ideas. This is always a challenge though.
Games I want to make this year (but please note that they probably won't all get done!):
Starfigher 3 (SFDG2)
"Starfighter: Disputed Galaxy" was my first attempt at an MMORPG, although I didnt really set out thinking that's what it would be. It was a great game that I was really proud of, and still would be, except it became too hard work trying to fight off all the hackers, when a hacker deleted every single user account and broke the game I decided I couldn't take it anymore and disabled the multiplayer and took down all the leaderboards.....

There should be more ships and ships such as carriers, super carriers, maybe mega battleships, transportation ships, attack vessels, frigates, and anything space related. Good job though,

as much as i like the music, i wish they would put a mute button.
I can't listen to music while im in auto pilot, but i still give them a 5star rating

From my experince in playing this game, aliens had more powerfull weaponary,but their ships were the size a whale,human ships are smaller but have less powerfull weaponary but human weapons have a better turning speed.

Snuwers, alien and human ships have the same characteristics, except human ships are generally smaller (so they avoid better unguided weapons), and aliens weapons are generally more powerful. You should have a look here : http://www.jestertrek.com/starfighter/

This is stupid. Why does it throw you back into the middle of a sector when you reach a corner? Also, it's hideously boring, sorry :( *prepares self for lots of -*

I had 390 kills and I lost all my lives, my friend who has 80 kills is ahead of me. In four days I'm now a commander with 511 kills and my friend has 170 kills, he's pretty annoyed he lost his lead. GO HUMAN ALLIANCE! P.S I have the atlas, its okay but i've gotten 100 kills with it, so i'm cool.

I finally found this game. I loved it back when I was still playing it, long ago. Sad to hear it's having troubles with some asses. :(

the most powerful mine is the micro photon compression mine(for me) i use that bomb in attacking a sub bases.............. to get near sub bases buy a lass stealth system....activate the lass stealth system at a distance of 5000 km....when near drop the mine at the middle of the sub base then go away as far as you can (a tip for new ones) please if you don't like my post please don't push the - button..........i'm just trying to share my strategies in this game

@ lostangel1978
the thing with the hackers was that they were extremely overpowered. it would not be uncommon to see a simple starfighter or other small ship with multiple vortex bombs. their health was usually always infinite and their energy the same. so of course people would let them go it was suicide to try chase down hackers and everyone left the sector asap to prevent being massacred.

Amazing game, but one problem: every weapon is either seriously overpowered or seriously underpowered. everything EMP is overpowered and can easily be stacked for about a 45 sec stun with some ships. But even so, my favorite game.

I really like this game, the only thing i find rather annoying is when you're in a huge battle with another ship, you've nearly killed it, random friendly floats up next to you and fires his regular laser once, steals your kill and your bounty points. :/ but other than that, this game's brilliant!

Even hackers deleted my Elite Destroyer and my account, is still my favourite game on kongregate and is good to reset
