Combat is a serious no no in this game. Once again, play with your camera till you find the tiny little THING attacking you, click on it, track it with the camera so you can right click it again and tell your ship to attack it. After that you sit back and watch your ship shoot something at the thingy until either you or it dies. Not too shabby...if, like I said, it was 1990.
The interface. Ah, yes, the magnificent interface. Who wouldn't love this? I mean, you got all the buttons in the world right to your left, all the buttons in the other world to the bottom of you, and this tiny little box screen to watch your tiny little ship on. Wow, let me to you....it can't get any worse than this. You have your information buttons over on the left, about 10 of them, and you have all of your controls at the bottom. Not what I would have designed, but to each developer their own.
