This is actually a very fun game to play, I got to around 5 crew members on my initial run and really enjoyed the ship building mechanics and game loop. The idea of seeing the crew in the ship work while its in combat is a very cool concept and well executed here.
I think one thing that would help out the game greatly is the help of a sort of tutorial or guide (either written on the game page or eventually built into the game). While starting up the game for the first time it's a bit confusing as to what the player should do and it took me a bit to realize what everything meant. Regardless the game is very fun to play and its clear that the programmed systems (ship building, crew AI, etc.) are very well made.
