Alright, and thanks for the quick answer!
Though I can't help thinking that in a way, it's kind of a shame. Things could have moved to astounding, uncharted territories from there.
Anyway I hope you do realize that's some quality piece you have here :). As far as I can tell, the stiffness of the technical approach makes it rather unique. I also liked how the game puts you at a distance of everything that happens. Spectating the consequences of your laser shots through a telescope is uncommon, and an interesting shift of perspective in science-fiction video games. One could argue that it's just like playing as a sniper in a generic war game of course, but at the scale of a solar system, it opens up to brand new possibilities.
Again, thanks for the (greatly static) ride.
