Thanks for the feedback and the words of encouragement Iancic !
We are working to pretty much address all of the points you mentioned, and more (including a pretty cool soundtrack).
We have a very big update coming that will add a lot to the game outside of combat, the ability to explore a solar system, interact with characters and events, etc.
As it's a very massive update that adds a lot of systems , we couldn't keep up with incremental build updates on the combat side (there's only so much we can do as 2 devs)
Once we have something presentable and fun, we'll post an update here!
Cheers!
