No qualms here.  After all, the most important thing is getting the original game fully functional.

Another post-1.0 add-on I'd like to see is a 4-player battle royale mode (on a single terminal, possibly also over the net).  My friends and I would get a kick out of it.  Grin

On a single terminal, key jamming would be intense.

Not if you made it a one-button control a la "Hungry Hungry Hippos."   Of course, that makes it hard to turn, thrust, use your special... I'd see the Chenjesu becoming the ship of choice in a HHH style battle.   Tongue

In a hungry hippo battle, I'd say Earthling or Mycon. Definitely something tracking so you can just sit there and kill everyone. Either that or Slylandro and you only get to use the turn left key... ram everyone into planets.

That's why man created game controllers.  Wink  If you have the USB variety, you can plug in four of them no sweat.

Oh man, I laughed at this idea. I don't even want to venture into a theory on the game dynamics. Just the idea of two people hammering on the keyboard, and the one who hammers the most wins. I like it.
