Ya, noted. When I first started the prototype I thought I wanted thrusters and RCS controls, but when I saw the beams exit through the satellite, I thought "that's cool, it is almost like the Solar Sailer in TRON where that ship rides the beam of light." So, I left it as is, where the Signal acts like a carrier beam, accelerating you through space.
I then started to think, how can I make it lock onto a beam so that the player can "hop beams"... even considered making it a Gyruss / Guitar Hero type game... I luckily avoided that rabbit hole.
