For some reason I can't get this game to run on my school's computers. It shows the loading bar, but then just shows a blank screen. If I right click, it shows the flash 10 right click menu, so I think it's loading and I have a new enough version of flash. Is it possible that the game won't run if you don't have a soundcard installed?
Y'know, I think it is possible. I'll try to get a non-audio dependent build out today. EDIT: New build out to address audio problems. Can you try again please? |

I love this game, but I suck so bad at it. HOW DO I GET GOOD  (oh and farbs, would you please change "Anneli Jörgensen" to "Andreas Jörgensen" if you can? it gets annoying to see my moms name just because that's what's on my paypal.  ) |

haha, yesss! This is amazing. I've been trying to make a cool asymmetrical ship; you beat me to it. It needs more backwards thrust capability, but other than that, she's a beaut. EDIT: Oh, I'd recommend blocking off the command module's gun. If you turn too fast you can shoot the sides of the gun wall, which you definitely do not want to do. |

@undertech
Nice one. Let the arms race begin!
@nihilocrat
That is so cool! I love switching from normal flight to strafing when I try to attack in this. It's a mental gear shift.
@Hideous
Heh, okay I've changed the name. Have you read Captain Farbs' tips at the end of the flight manual?

A new challenge appears!
Can you beat the game with this ship? You may replace and upgrade the lasers and boosters, but you must retain this layout. No new girders, no fidding with how modules are arranged. I still haven't quite managed it.

Can you beat the game with this ship? ...I hadn't even realised that one could beat the game; I just assumed that it kept going.. well.. Forever!  EDIT:Also, my own (admittedly, extremely simple) asymmetric ship which flies straight both forward and backward, and turns quite responsively:

I'm not sure if this is the case but...
When enemies are chasing me and I'm really week I tend to lead to so that the shoot each other. When an "Innocent" (Unprovoked, non-aggressive) bystander gets shot, they seem to go straight to me?
Should there be "Aggrivator" target so that other ships could be destroyed with careful maneuvering and no hit in the "Law" meter?

A few people have asked about this, and I agree it isn't very intuitive. The reason I made AI ships only attempt to attack you is that I didn't want this to become the dominant strategy. If the most effective way to play the game was to get AI ships to attack each other then that's what players would mostly do. The problem with that is that it isn't much fun.
TLDR: Everyone aggros on you because it's more fun.

GOWe have to have the exact same layout? So if we get some of those sweet white bricks from a ship we can't use them because they're too long? |

 We're limited to orange  Didn't even make it very far: This was the last build:  This was how I died (I was trying to take one of them head on, didn't work and I lost my guns...):  |

Ah ok... it's just a bit hard...and making enemies run around each other sounded kinda fun :D Also are there seperate factions IE. Pirates, Traders, and Lawmen? Or are YOU the pirate? (Because with seperate factions the ai fighting might work?) |
