I might have actually paid the $10 they wanted if they didn't use PayPal. I don't like PayPal.
Anyway, cool little game. Design your space ship lego-style -- place engines, maneuvering thrusters, batteries, reactors and weapons where you want, "wire" controls to different pieces of the ship then go test it out.
In the free version you can build a $12,000 ship, if you register (pay) you can build a $20,000 ship. Either way you can try them out online (if you can ever find other people) and battle against other players.
Pretty fun to play with different designs and then try them out. Very cool idea with the way you can build your whole ship design starting with nothing.
I'll have to grab a screenshot of one of my better $12,000 ships. I was beating some $20,000 ships pretty consistantly with it, though admittedly this is because I can aim and they can't. Mad skillz, word.
One tip on the designer: don't drag and drop where you want the pieces to fit, just drag them onto the screen and hit the "join" button. You'll figure the rest out.
