Thanks for the feedback!
In a post-jam version I'll add another gameplay mode besides HUMAN and BOT - it will be called HYBRID.
In that mode a human is responsible for the ship design, but the battle is fought by the bot. That way you can design a ship and let the bot test it in battle.
Also, there will be ability to save and load ship design to and from JSON files, so you can preserve designs or even bring them along to fight with friends :)
