I got a feeling that a nigerian prince wants me to kill some AI ships :P

Looks pretty promising. Also extra plus are the messages from the AI actions. They seem to be busy but I couldn't find them. Do I notice when I beat an AI?
Also, the enemy ships didn't seem to shoot at me at all?

Hehe,...I like crusing around with my spaceship! It was quite good to steer but shooting with mousebutton would have been a plus! I also got that AI-Warnings but couldnt find any enemies anymore...

Kill some, will ya?
Pretty obviously unfinished, but it shows potential. More planet sprites would be nice, but the control scheme is quite lovely - it was easy to move precisely. I think this game suffered from a case of more scope than time.
