They shoot bullets trying to kill your ship. There&#8217;s no advanced AI there, try just sniff the air and move in your direction. If you go far enough &#8211; they stop following you.<\/li>\n <li>You can shoot back too. Actually, I got stuck for an hour trying to figure out a weird bug with half of the bullets not being removed from the canvas as they should. But in the end it was a stupid mistake in my code.<\/li>\n <li>Your fuel is limited now. You should buy more fuel in the cities (to-do). Each fuel crystal lasts 10 seconds (ta-da!)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Screenshot:<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/08\/24\/day-1-progress-12\/ld27-15\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-278676\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-278676\" alt=\"ld27\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ld271-300x203.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Game Link:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sheltered-refuge-9284.herokuapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sheltered-refuge-9284.herokuapp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n <p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m going to do the following:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Add refills and repairs in the cities<\/li>\n <li>Add upgrade stations where you&#8217;ll be able to buy new ships with larger cargo bay, increased speed, and better guns.<\/li>\n <li>Add guild stations where you&#8217;ll receive game goals and track your progress towards being accepted to the Guild of Captains.
