that's interesting i like this kind of game, but you didn't answer to my question about the pure gamble or skill, there is any meaning behind how a ship get hit? i mean can you maneuver the ship or it's only enterily on the ship to survive based on its specifications?
You will not be able to drive the ship real-time, otherwise I will have to do full 3d online space simulator, which is not the point for me now.
Your abilities to hit will depend on your ship's characteristics and on a random events. It's like battles in MOO2 in automatic mode.
