Great start but with a bug or two.
this game was a lot of fun but didn't have much to make you want to keep playing. unfortunately most of what would give it longevity can take a long time to program.
really most of what this game would benefit from can be found in the old dos game DeathRally and the game Escape Velocity: Nova.
But a few key points if you can't get a copy of those games:
- the ability to change the overall speed of the race was a brilliant idea
- the weight stat adds very nice feel to the ships
- defiantly need to fix the bug which knocks you out of the tracks
- weapons seemed too powerful
- all the ships had good maneuvering, the lowest rating wasn't low enough to really be a hindrance.
