The difficulty of big hairball battles is a little variable, I tend to stick to the edges and pick off lone enemies as much as I can.

The hive battle was overall easy, I used the same strategy to pick off isolated defenders and then went after the hive.  I kept 360-degree circle strafing it firing at it with my 2 lasers and the 2 turrets, and didn't take much damage.  I think my ship had 5 tons of cargo capacity, 2 or 3 generators, 2 or 3 engines, 1 armor block, 2 lasers, and 2 turrets.  I felt challenged, but I also felt like maybe I was a little lucky.  I would have to fight another hive to really have a strong opinion on their difficulty, I tend to have beginner's luck on things.

0.0.12 is really good, the no flash option is greatly appreciated and I like the turrets.  Built a ship with 2 lasers and 2 turrets and just beat a hive.  My only suggestions are to make the cockpit view a bit less restricted and maybe let us rotate and/or scroll the map. 

Yeah man first person works well.  The cockpit elements that stick up in the way are a little annoying but otherwise first person is good!

The flash when scanning is a little better but still sorta bright.  Maybe make a setting option to disable it entirely.  ;)

I made a lot more progress making discoveries on different planets.

Another observation/suggestion, the way messages display in the middle of the screen with a shaded background block the view of what you're trying to do IMO.  Also the messages and shaded backgrounds stay around too long IMO.

Thanks for your reply.  This new version is really nice!  Was there a graphics upgrade?  Invert Y works great, and I am no longer getting locked into dialogues or menus.  I progressed pretty far, have went through several mining missions and unlocked all the tech too.

Feedback from this build, the white screen flash with the camera is hard on the eyes when playing at night, would suggest not having the flash.  The little beep is good but the shutter sound is a bit archaic.  

I really like the flying and the look of this game.  It feels good flying around.

Any chance of cockpit view?  :)

Really neat look and feel.  Controls are good but please add Invert Y, it's hard for me to play flightsims without Y inverted.

I think there may be some bugs with 2560x1080, the mission boxes on the left overlap and I couldn't find a sell button on the right when docked at a station.

Another issue, when I talk to Haarif or whatever his name is to sell discoveries, I'm trapped in that overlay screen and no key or mouse click gets me out.  So between not being able to sell materials and not being able to sell discoveries, I think I'm locked out of progression.

But after some polish I think this game will be a hit on Steam!
