The mining/trading mechanic isn't there yet so there's no way to refuel or regain energy. That'll come when I get some more time to sink into it, I've got to get back to "actual" work!
The chat thing is actually the most fleshed out part, but I've neglected to bring attention to it in the game - ingame entities were meant to hail you through it and get you to start using it, but there aren't any. Lots of untapped potential, which is a shame.
Wow, loved the old school feel to this game. The flying mechanic was really unique in using the thrusters to move around rather than the standard flying. Great work on this. Hopefully, you can check out my game too if you get a moment. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=42403
Love the graphics of this game, especially the thrusters. So much fun to just fly around but I couldn't find anyone and at one point I got my energy upto 7246 so that was a nice bonus. Would be nice with some soft exploration music.
I really like the Lunar Lander + mining idea. Hope you'll address the map issue when you continue developing. I find myself hitting things when I go to a different screen.
