Great Game
@Hunterruid: Obviously there is something wrong with your computer or laptop or net book or mac or whatever. Because all the parts i have are usable and i DO use them.
@Maaimachine: My ship is pretty fast and i have like 10 things on it... in case you didnt know, the ship moves one hell of alot slower with more parts on it. The reason you dont survive long is probably because you dont use the shell boost, thrust, and energy boost abilities (which, by the way, are very helpful).
Tip: If you are on a turet level and are having trouble with a boss, get a torpedo turret or whatever turret you want, tractor beam it, and circle the boss, you will shoot and so will your turret, and you dont get hit as much, thus effectivly destroying the boss.
