Really good game, but could use a few improvements
I really like the game overall, especially being able to customize your ship, but it could use a few changes to make it better. Well, quite a few, but even two or three of these things would make it better.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Need more ways to get acceleration. The alternate level 1 engine and the level 2 engine are the only ways to do so, and they don't drop nearly enough.
2. More tractor beams, or at least some way to instantly pick up shell parts instead of dragging them to the yard (or even take a yard along with you ^_^). Maybe even just let the Harvester Turret pick up parts (which is what I thought it did at first untill it didn't do so). I hate it when I've cleared out a sector and can't decide which part to bring home.
3. More variety of parts. The first thing that comes to my mind is a siege cannon, like the one on the Siege Turret. Which seems to outrange a missile(else I would get shot when I place it), so it must not be a missile. Also, if we're going to have extra tractor beams, tractor beam parts.
4. Be able to command and customize extra Shellcores, somewhat like wingmen in most 'air/space combat' shooters.
5. Build and/or command carriers, or just be one. That would be kinda epic. Or just have a customizable carrier in addition to the Shellcore.
6. Fix the jump glitch.
7. Bigger stations: Once you get far enough in the game, battle zones become really easy since you can just blow up the enemy carrier with relative ease. You'll need bigger stations for more challenge.
8. Longer game: Self explanatory.
