Hello,
I finally managed to find the time to try and test the game. Here are my first impressions. I'll post more here as I go:
Some info I'm getting in the tutorial are not entirely clear to me: first of all, what "DPS" stands for is never explained. I understand that it probably means Damage Per Second, but this needs to be spelled out, otherwise it could be confusing.
Another thing I don't understand: during battles, when I mouse over one of the three icons for the weapons, the tooltip says "USE AND SKIP TURN". What does this mean? It doesn't look like I'm skipping a turn when I change weapon. This function needs to be explained better, I think.
One thing feels "unnatural" to me: I don't think the ships should be able to fire all weapons at a 360 degrees angle. The way I see it, different weapons (with different upgrades) should be able to fire only at a 60, 120 or 180 degrees if front of the ship, and some weapons even just right in front (just to give you an example). This would make tactical maneuvering very important. The player could try and flank the enemy, use objects on the map as a shield as he moves in for the kill, etc...
I'll be back with more comments later
cheers!
