This... game? is extremely confusing. What am I even supposed to be doing? I tried setting the "target" (btw put the readme contents in the game page) to a system, warped... everything looks the same, still nothing going on. Decided to set a planet target with the numbers... says it's set but it's not marking it on the radar or anything. Go over a planet... cannot dock unless I first select it as target. So I have to press the numbers and space every time until I get it right.
I'm very confused by the state of the game specially after seeing the DDs it's been in and your blogpost - I figure there's more going on here, but somehow I'm managing to miss it all. Could you please explain what I'm supposed to do in a clearer way?
Navigating was extremely confusing at first, but once you get how it works its fine. So I guess it'll be fine when there's a tutorial, even though the whole concept seems a bit odd to me; what are the planets orbiting? No stars? I guess it would always cover your screen though. It can also be a bit confusing to know whats on your plane and not. I expected to be able to crash into the asteroids for example but apparently you're not level with them.
Zooming with the mousewheel seems backwards to me, usually its the other way around.
Enemies are really hard to see with everything moving fast and the ships being so small and colors dark and desaturated. Combat seems like it would be difficult to control.
Couldn't access the editor, I guess its a key bind issue - I'm using a nordic keyboard.
Doesn't seem like there's anything to do yet but shoot at enemies and enter the station.
I like the background, but I wonder if it'd look a bit nicer if the stars would twinkle slightly. Although its not really realistic yeah.
I'd like more details so I can try to fix this crash. I don't really have a crash reporting system set up yet, but it spits out a bunch of print debug info while it's running. Can you run it from a command prompt and show me the output?
I have no Idea what I'm doing. I'm flying somewhere, and shooting out of my Back it seems. I also apparently orbit around something, as I'm passing the same Planet constellation constantly, but in different distances? I can also spin around left and right, which is nice I guess?
Are you sure a 2D topdown camera on your Ship is the right camera scheme for a 3D(?) Spacegame? I have absolutely no Sense of where in Space I am or where I'm facing. Or what I'm ment to do for that matter. Tried to reach the Coin, thinking its something I have to interact with, but couldn't.

Crashes when pressing enter on the main Screen. Goes into the weird circular thing (loading screen?) tho.
You asked for Stats, I'm on Intel Xeon E3 1230 16GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, 4 GB VRAM.

Doesn't crash when run through cmd. I'll see if it keeps stable that way, then give it another go.
Crash might not be cmd/non-cmd related, but just happen randomly, if it does I'll give you cmd output, if it doesn't crash, I'll write something up.
