The game gets stuck on 'creating session...'. I think a server might have been involved, and that server isn't around anymore.

Blast into space and build your fortune! Battle waves of fighters and plunder the vast wealth of space in this arcade space shooter. Use your new riches to upgrade your ship - you're going to need it!
Control speed with UP/DOWN arrows, turn with RIGHT/LEFT arrows, and fire with SPACE. Dock at the spaceport by crossing the center while moving slowly. You can get ship upgrades at the market, and change your ship's configuration.
Good foundation, but I feel the game is somehow incomplete.
I like the concept of space pirates, but the game seems flat.
Good start.
First : I don't have the time to read the explainations !!! It's probably because I'm french but it would be much better if you could control the speed ! Like, okay it's not continuing till I click or something. Then I can read at my rythm.
Second : The small ships are damn too small ! There's no strategy at all to kill those enemies. I just shoot randomly around me and hope to hit something. And that's boooring.
(Sorry if I make some gramma mistakes, french guy over here.^^)
I feel that the game just hasn't been adequately developed. It still needs a decent amount of work before I can rate it accurately.
I really like the concept of this game, but I think the execution falls a bit flat. The drones are not really any threat to you. They are entirely just too annoying to kill because they are such a small target and move so fast. The ratio of the cost of upgrades versus what you get from destroying freighters is a bit much. Getting ~30-50 credits per freighter just isn't enough when the upgrades cost so much. I'd love to see the option to use WASD controls. I also think it'd be a good idea if some of the weapons had the ability to be aimed with the mouse or auto-turrets. The game really needs a story. The ability to travel to different regions would be nice. It gets repetitive to just go out and wait for freighters to spawn. The graphics are nice and the sounds work well. I'd really like to see this game expanded or a sequel that's more suited to spending hours playing.
