I've actually seen a couple of games with broadly similar notions and mechanics, but none with the added wrinkle and chaos of surviving a storm, so that's fun. I'm inclined to think that there's a bit to much damage off collisions, and in my own games I'm likely to house rule that as doing only 1 hull damage each.
A decent game that gets bonus points because I like the author's work.

Yeah go nuts with the house rules. Could even make terrain spin the ship instead of damaging it too. Would lower the amount of incoming damage while still hindering the player.
I wanted it to be more like a dog fight between planes rather than a traditional ship battle. Where the ships cross paths at speed and have to out smart each other. So basing the mechanics on x-wing or gaslands made loads of sense to me. Heavily influenced by those games for sure.
Really appreciate the comments, thanks mate.
