The presentation on this game is fantastic, and I was really impressed with the intro & ending cutscenes!
I would say that the ship could do with having its base movement speed increased slightly, as at first I thought I needed to hold down the left mouse button to move. However, it did help to sell the feeling of the ship being a large capital ship rather than a fighter, so I can see why you went with it - I think maybe it just needed more of a visual indication of movement, such as more of a thruster effect from the engines.
The combat was well done, I liked the more hands-off approach of the guns auto-firing - great job!
The combat was really nice, forcing the player to use positioning to his advantage, and letting the virtual crew do the shooting.
The final boss was a bit annoying, as I had to basically ram into it to make any weapon fire at it; I'm guessing it has a tiny hitbox as an oversight?
Maneuvering the ship around was fun. Combat was a bit stale and rockets seemed mostly useless, since they were extremely slow and didn't even seem to deal that much damage when they did connect. Also good job on the visuals, especially the cutscene.
