I've noticed some networking bugs I didn't see while developing it alone ;)

Nice, tried to play with a friend and encountered number of problems.
- Firstly there are invisible walls, need to make them visible.
- At one point my ship stopped shooting.
- and with a friend encountered some laggs or something, it syncs rarely apperantly

Invisible walls suck! My friend and I had trouble with network performance that made actual dogfighting difficult. Seems like it could be fun with a bunch of people!

I couldn't test the multiplayer, but I like the concept. The controls seem very nice and satisfying. The camera also seems solid. I can imagine how it would help intensify large battles.

The camera zoom is a little intense, and the walls a little in the way, but nice to have a float around.
