That bug sounds like it would occur when a fighter is destroyed immediately as it spawns. Promptly fixed for the BubbleShield release (ETA when I can be fucked).

Bubbleshielding? This game is getting better and better per meta.
Hopefully there will be other future ideas in the mix maybe? (Photonic and Quantam Torpedo, Cloaking Device Subsystem, Ion Cannon etc.)

Ion cannons literally already exist. They're called Frosch Guns. Adding "photonic and quantum torpedoes" would be pointless because weapons like that can be easily replicated by editing existing weapons in the game. Cloaking device is something that would be new and possibly cool, but I don't think that'll happen.

You're doing it again Jay2Jay.
Stop poking the dragon with a stick. This one comes from the "all caps" tree, which angers it more.

That's what PD is for. He's currently preoccupied with something called "bubble shield".

Maybe add an extra digit to entering coordinates. When they're negative and I want to enter a decimal, it has to be 9.9 or less. It gets irritating when I have to shift+arrow move it all the way back into position.

Doogie, although fake aegis doodads would be nice, wouldn't it be good to be able to export custom doodads along with sprites?

Well everyone only uses like 3 sets of doodads, and now noc runes cause I made that popular, so I don't think the export is any more of a pain than actually exporting.

The game appears to like to crash when lots of fighters are launched once. Experimentation has suggested that the magic number of fighter bays scrambling at the same time (don't have to be the same ship if they're all selected and targeted at once) to cause crashing is 6. Five is just fine and dandy. Not sure if the specifics of the modules themselves matter.

This release is still pretty awesome, mind you. :3
