Cool concept !
I like how you just let the allied ships just follow you when in range instead of having to interact with commands etc... I just find it hard to have them keep on following without wandering off and getting lost, and i suppose the home base is the grey triangle on the ring map ? but i could never seem to reach it when traveling towards it so it's either really far or i didn't understand where i was actually supposed to go :p
WIth that said, i still enjoyed the game, the controls were nice and it was cool to have the ship not be very floaty for a change :)
