- I like the new version. The control changes makes it easier to maneuver in dog-fights. I noticed the game acts slightly odd near the edge of the map, and in later stages it can slow down a bit. I had a successful ship configuration that ended up being a really long game. So, I am wondering if there would be a game save option in the escape menu. Thanks, Ken. Sep 29, 2012
- Noticed an undocumented feature. The down arrow reduces speed, allowing me to come to rest. Are they any other undocumented features (so far)? Sep 26, 2012
