And, maybe, ships you aren't controlled should have some kind of IA or (at least) stop when they reach ground (got my ships killed a couple of times when switching to other while moving)"},{"author_name":"Zemmi","author_uid":"3343","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 12:36am","epoch":1335313860,"text":"I agree with Farfin, either that or maybe an indicator to show me which direction to go."},{"author_name":"eburn184","author_uid":"5565","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 1:24am","epoch":1335316740,"text":"Interesting game.

I'm impressed! I like how you have to learn the geography of where everybody is, but I agree labels would help.\r\rI also really like how you have to micromanage your ships for efficiency, and overall the whole idea of Earth being tiny because of our global delivery system goes very nicely with the theme.\r\rMusic, labels, and a little graphical spiffing up will make this game even better, but it's fun as it stands! Great job!"},{"author_name":"BenW","author_uid":"128","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 3:02am","epoch":1335322620,"text":"I like that one of the ships goes faster in reverse."},{"author_name":"doowttam","author_uid":"7439","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 3:28am","epoch":1335324180,"text":"Pretty interesting. Took me a little bit to get a feel for the ships. I found that if I went backwards I could move quicker, so that's what I did, sailed around backwards.

Slow moving ships is ok, the trick is to multi task. Point the ship in the right direction, switch to another ship and so forth. But yeah, they shouldn't really go faster backwards :-)"},{"author_name":"Kimau","author_uid":"15","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1335356580,"text":"Brilliant! Really LOVE the game! Please continue with it.\r\rOnly thing is put in port names somewhere because its really annoying to try find a port you don't know. Maybe a dotted line between places so you can visually pick out the paths before getting the job.\r\rMultiple ship control really interesting mastery mechanic"},{"author_name":"Mesene","author_uid":"6870","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 2:46pm","epoch":1335364860,"text":"Nice concept, it doesn't fits a lot with the theme but I enjoyed it to much. good job!"},{"author_name":"moop","author_uid":"2573","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 5:05pm","epoch":1335373200,"text":"Love the idea, difficulty was a bit high (easy to collide when picking up\/dropping off) which could be frustrating but I enjoyed it all the same."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 9:37am","epoch":1335951120,"text":"Great idea!
