update: I’m an ‘Ensign’ on Novice difficulty, but a ‘Garbage Scow Captain’ on Pilot difficulty. More practice required.

I wish my photon torpedoes stopped immediately being destroyed upon coming out of hyperspace.

My first thoughts on : much of it seems to be a combination of the old text-based strategy game (originally released 1971 for the Sigma 7 mainframe) and Atari’s 1977 arcade game Starship 1. The former supplies its strategic elements (warping around the galactic chart, replenishing at star bases, hunting down enemy ships, etc), while the first person view and combat resembles the latter. Super cool.
