I've been making some "sketches" for a top down multilayer game. (elite / frontier like - sort of)
The server is already prepared for multiple sectors but now only one works because you cant hyperspace out of it.
Instructions
- The arrow keys are for movement (think of newton here)
- Acceleration and deceleration is handled by the ship computer you only control the set speed. (be careful here if you want to test it)
- the key T is for selecting a target (another player or a space station - cant select asteroids yet)
- the key A is for auto pilot (just handles direction to the target you must control the speed)
- the Space bar is for fire - you can only fire with a target selected as the on board computer handles targeting
so give it a try and tell me what you think

On enter you will just hyperspace into the sector so give it some travel time to reach some asteroids...
Thanks
