Feedback and a bug?

Killerdove

Right bug first.
I had a very wide ship with only forwards an backwards thrusters all mounted on the back of the ship like a H fallen over.
No side thrusters at all.
But somehow I could still move sideways (Strafe).
So bug or feature that simply is to anoying to get rid of? (Not realy a problem but does not follow physics)

And feedback.
First of all realy fun game. GJ!
But there needs to be some way to recover from almost total death. (A grindey way will do but a way is needed)
I killed all the easy zones and got to the hard ones (5 lines) ran into the wrong enemy.
I won but I had only one gun and the bare core of my ship left.
But had no way to recover so GG start over. (And I know the game is still not done many things are not in yet I'm just giving my opinion)
Also I ran into some problem when I came out from battle badly damaged and not fuel to reach the next zone.
I sold all my crew but one so I still "Own" the ship.
I did still not have money to buy fuel to get to the next zone and I could not repair my ship fully so I could not sell parts to get the needed money.
So I request a Tick box or other option to force enter build mode in order to sell parts even when the ship is not fully repaired.
I soved the problem by selling my ship and buying a cheaper starter ship.
But I liked my ship and I didn't save the blueprint before the battle.

So I rant a lot but I realy like the game so I will watch where it goes from here.
GJ!
TY for leting us try it!

Thrusters can actually exert a very small amount of lateral thrust. This is probably what you're seeing. I did that for balance reasons

Killerdove So I request a Tick box or other option to force enter build mode in order to sell parts even when the ship is not fully repaired.

You should be able to hold shift to get into blueprint mode even when you need repairs.

Oh and you should be able to set the standard aproach distance on a ship by ship basis.
And I dont mean the advanced order aproach with angle and distance I mean the standard move to enemy from map distance.
I ended up hitting myself with my own missiles a lot. (Mostly by being careles)

And you already answer ... and now I know.
That reply explained a lot.

cosmoteer is amazing, and I love making ships that have different fully functional sections, but I have to connect them with structure and it takes away from the look of the "floating" sections. and I thought it would be great if there was a connector that used a "tractor beam" or used some sort of strange force to hold floating sections together.
