As a long time fan of the starflight series I love to see that someone is taking up the tall order of recreating such a wonderful game.
I wanted to provide quick feedback based on what I've seen in the combat videos. What I'd like to see is the ships to have a 3D model similar to what the game StarDrive has done which was recently released. It really adds so much more appeal than the aged top down 2D model. Additionally, to see ships have momentum in combat vs static turn and acceleration parameters.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing this game develop.

Hi Kem, thanks for the feedback. 3d models is good, but I am not an artist, and the artist I thought I might have is too busy to commit at this time. But I think the 3d model idea would add great immersion. So it isn't off the table at all. As for the momentum...you mean more like that old game subspace? Without inertia completely? Or some friction? The thing is even though these ships appear small because it's 2d, they are in fact 'starships' and not fighters. If there was half friction then the ships would slide around like...cars around corners There is a flight mode which includes no friction, enabling you to slide. But this causes stress to your hull integrity. So it cannot be done too often.
