zero3growlithe> sounds cool! I take it the other ships lose energy too in the collision? Get a shield power up and slam into them!
They don't lose energy for now but it's just adding one line to my code so no problem, but this line gave me new idea. How about making something like powerful sideshift? Double tap sideshift button, hold it to charge and slam! If only I would be able to make online play it would be awesome to get rid of your opponent when head-to-head on wep off race.
(the only thing I dislike right now is that on keyboard controlling my ship now is pain in a**, so I'll start mapping controls to my PS3 controller. For those who don't own one I'll leave controll mapping enabled in script [input options when opening up the game])
