This games got a lot of potential, Im impressed!

Ill get straight to the point with what I didnt like: The controls didnt feel responsive enough mostly due to the way you control the turret with the mouse. Theres alot of inertia, and im not sure if pressing right mouse to stop and toggle up/down rotation is a good idea. Id prefer that the turret moves in all directions without a toggle for up/down.

You could keep the sense of inertia but if I stop moving the mouse, Id like the turret to stop too and not have to swing the mouse the other way to stop it(or press rm). Im guessing that youve play tested it so much your a demon with the controls by now! but I give a game 10mins to get used to the controls and if I havent got the basics by then its escape and delete time ;)

I like the idea with the energy distribution ie., more power to the engines, less to weapons etc., but again I thought this was abit slow. I was thinking you could keep the precise way of doing it but also for the 'heat of the moment' situations you could have 4 or 5 presets (maybe 1-4) keys or summin. One press of the button sets the tank up automatically for equal distributaion/more manouverability less fire power/for fire power less manouverability etc. etc.

Already looking forward to the next version!
