A major suggestion for next game would be to give the player some sort of close-range defence against guidance-system weaponry, such as missiles and EMP torpedoes that lock on to a target. Modern-day Jets are outfitted with heat flares to ruin the tracking system of incoming missiles, so it would make sense that such technology would still be in use in the future.
I'm suggesting this because of those annoying EMP missiles and thunderbolt torpedoes that are pretty much unavoidable. I always feel annoyed when I hear that dull "thump" that an EMP launch bay makes as it fires and knowing that there's not much I can do to avoid being hit.
Perhaps in the next game all starships could be given a "static array" which would require a moderate amount of energy to activate. This would nullify incoming missiles that require a lock-on and force an aggressor to re-acquire you on their targeting system.

Incredible game, but along with the recommendations about more variety, I also suggest you allow people to pop out of autopilot whenever they hit a movement/arrow key, in case of an ambush/approaching ship, ect.
Also, I'm annoyed at the fact that I have to rebuy ships. Is there no storage space on these space stations for people to park their space shuttles? Just a thought.

A tip for >3000$ mission. If you want to complete it fast, use overclocked pegasus engine. Then, use hyperspace to the sector you've been first. (Courier missions)

Here's an even better tip: Carry an uber-weapon (photon compression bomb comes to mind). If you encounter any ambush, no matter what type, launch the weapon and collect the bounties and spoils. Hyperspace to a station and re-equip with another big bang.

excellent tip: when u see an ambush, don't panic! get a long range guided weapon. then see if it is a whole load of drones. if it is, kill e'm all. if not, kill one or 2 then hyperspace to any station.

Clearance mission for 5000... hm that will be kinda easy...
When i arrive on the sector: "Ambush Warning!" "Hostiles: 9" "Friendlies: 0"
...Crap.

If you start typing in another window the keys still work for the game. As I am typing this comment I can hear my ship firing lasers :O

the sprinter and pegasus are fast just need a bit more shields then they would be awsome but until they get at least 75-100 shield points they are just to easy to die with and to easy to kill will like a laser or plasma cannon

This game is one of the best free to play games there is. Unfortunately hackers and cost of money forced the creator to take multiplayer down. I look forward to Starfighter infinity but i still love playing this.
Its auto pilot is great and so is the hyperspace, I also like that the ships engines can be bought. Its not like the ship has to remain at one speed.
The weapon systems are great, even though each side has weapons which see mto be the same thing named differently each sides weapons actually have quite a few differences, from range, damage, and even missile flight pattern can differ. The ships are the same in some ways but occasionally have differences in their top speed, locking angle ect. They also have different shapes which make them more or less vulnerable to enemy fire. The friendly fire does add realism as well.
Things are well set up in this game and I have played it for years.
Here you have a game worth playing.

@assayltmech Announce that they are hacking on the admins screen?.... if the game knew they were hacking it could just autoban them, why announce it on the screen lol? It isn't that they are unable to ban the players, it is that they are unable to catch them. So he just had to end the multiplayer. I do miss the multiplayer on this game a lot... However it is still a lot of fun.

Try to add admins that are usually on and when someone hacks announce it on the admin's screen!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would stop hackers (maybe) and bring the fun back to multiplayer!!! + so the dev can see it!!!!!!!!!!!
