I liked the concept quite a bit. It would be interesting to see this get flushed out with some more in-depth level design and/or space exploration.
Gotta say though, I absolutely hated how the ship controlled. The vertical axis felt strange, and the ship steering as a whole felt really slippery. Overall the ship was very difficult to control in my opinion.
An intriguing mix of Spaceflight and FPS raiding! Kind of barebones but I look forward to seeing this take shape.
