Hey thanks for checking it out.
Your feedback is on the same track as most we have been hearing and we've already started work on addressing all of the issues you mention to be release for a post-jam build after the rating period is over. It's really good to hear that you enjoyed the experience as well as the look we went with.
We'll be sure to check your game out and leave you some constructive feedback and a rating.
P.S They are not enemies until you go choose that branch of the story, until that point you can roam the ship freely without attack, the dialog could have been clearer when they are activated and we'll be sure to make sure that is the case when we update.
