Great idea, factorio in space. Love it. Look forward to seeing a full release on steam down the road.
Some suggestions:
**Needs ship strafing on Q and E.
**Needs a ship inventory and Base inventory, Maybe change top UI (health, ore, ice) to 2 bars:
BASE - Ore # Metal # Ice # (etc...)
SHIP - Free # Ore # Metal # (etc... as above except only show the items that are in your cargo).
**Minimap in bottom right corner
**Keep beacons white at all times, add a light on each point that changes from green to red in the direction of enemies. This would give a clear indication of which direction you are being attacked from.
**There seems to be a bug where if a beacon is destroyed all enemies freeze and become invincible.
