I might do the same to ships too though I quite like the idea of penalizing a lot for minor mistakes. I will have to try find a middle ground.

I honestly have to say, this game is incredible. The music is fantastic. My friend kept crashing into the spawn station before we could put any parts on (he's bad), so in the end we just decided that it was a co-op game and tried to build the station as big as we could. Gameplay is smooth and polished. Major respect for making a multiplayer game during a jam. The take on the theme is similar to ours, which is why I chose to play this in the first place, hahaha. This is honestly one of the best entries I've seen thus far, you should be proud.

I will consider changing that again though. @hyprgloo Awesome! I'm glad you managed to play with a friend and enjoyed building out the station, I also thought it would make a good coop game and was originally just going to make the server persistent so that everyone who played just added to the existing station but this is much harder to do well in a short time so opted to make it competitive. @ceasar Thanks for playing I'm glad you had fun :smile: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rs11s21n","author_uid":"1079270","time":"2018-08-15T21:36:57Z","epoch":1534369017,"modified":1534369017,"text":"@seablu you can bind this on another mouse button (rmb lmb)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SeaBlu","author_uid":"1004944","time":"2018-08-15T21:41:33Z","epoch":1534369293,"modified":1534369293,"text":"@rs11s21n That makes so much sense!

You can dock at full speed but its usually a good idea to slow right down before reaching the station so a warning of some sort is a good idea! While the diagonal gates were originally going to be dock-able I decided they weren't necessary. I tried to indicate which sides could be docked with the colored bands around the openings but I should have really just removed them from the graphic altogether. Thanks again everyone for playing!\n\n**A couple more updates:** I have moved the server to a dedicated host (instead of my own PC) and have had a little more time to work on the post Jam version so it should be available soon I'm just trying to decide on the best win condition at the moment.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zeusx212","author_uid":"1099534","time":"2018-08-19T12:36:04Z","epoch":1534682164,"modified":1534682164,"text":"awesome graphics","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Carlos Giraldo","author_uid":"1109261","time":"2018-08-19T19:30:46Z","epoch":1534707046,"modified":1534707046,"text":"Really cool. Enjoyed almost every aspect of it. The presentation and audio was top notch. On the controls side, I was having a lot of issues because in my brain. You aim at where you want to thrust, thus taking you the opposite direction, so I was always going the wrong way even when I was trying to adjust.
