Nice!!! Totally Addictive!!!
Its really fun but why can't you take control of larger vessels??? One more thing, you should make an option which allows you to choose which ship you want to be before you enter combat. I'd rather pilot a destroyer rather than a fighter.
Another thing you could do is to make it so that you can manage the number of ships you have in your attack fleet. Like you have a lump sum of points and you spend points on various vessels.
At least you don't enter battles where the enemy has an unfair numerical advantage. And if the ships you have are wrong or ineffective then you have only yourself to blame.
I mean come on! You're the dictator! Who is to question what ship you wish to pilot or how many ships you wish to deploy in combat!
