I'm thinking about making the beams damage the ships, yes. I'll have to make the bots avoid it first, though.

The explosions: some hate them, some like them. I'm really confused...^^ I'll look into them again though, when I find the time, and maybe fix them a bit.
We still have the rotating-sprite problem: sprites do not face the camera properly when you tilt and reach 90°...

I forgot to capture sound when I recorded the video. But the main Problem is that acknex does not seem to like my sound card. All sounds playing in the game are played back in a weird way, with lots of scratching.
