0.0.12 is really good, the no flash option is greatly appreciated and I like the turrets. Built a ship with 2 lasers and 2 turrets and just beat a hive. My only suggestions are to make the cockpit view a bit less restricted and maybe let us rotate and/or scroll the map.
Thanks for the kind words. How did you find the difficulty? Did you manage to kill it the first try?
Noted for the cockpit view and the scroll and rotate map.
The difficulty of big hairball battles is a little variable, I tend to stick to the edges and pick off lone enemies as much as I can.
The hive battle was overall easy, I used the same strategy to pick off isolated defenders and then went after the hive. I kept 360-degree circle strafing it firing at it with my 2 lasers and the 2 turrets, and didn't take much damage. I think my ship had 5 tons of cargo capacity, 2 or 3 generators, 2 or 3 engines, 1 armor block, 2 lasers, and 2 turrets. I felt challenged, but I also felt like maybe I was a little lucky. I would have to fight another hive to really have a strong opinion on their difficulty, I tend to have beginner's luck on things.
