this is a pretty great game so far. The starfighters handle and sound good and the atmosphere is classic, hardscrabble Star Wars.
Some things I might suggest are the ability to roll and invert the ship manually in addition to the currently-available barrel-roll commands. As it is, performing loops isn't possible as the ship simply ascends or descends and angles bizarrely at high angles-of-attack, which makes pursuing targets or evading fire problematic. A few onboard/wing-mounted/cockpit camera angles would also be great for immersion and cinematic appeal.
Likewise, some additional options for Instant Action, such as setting reinforcement numbers, the number of AI on the battlefield at once, and editing or disabling Hero ship point limits would be nice QoL and customization options.
Overall, love the game already and look forward to seeing how it develops.
