New version is up on the first post. I added lots of stuff(mostly from what you guys were asking for). Graphics are blowing me away at this point, so unless someone can make better pictures for the ships(must have transparent background) I think it's good enough graphically. Next job is to add lazers and try to work on the speed since it's starting to get into bad frame rates when you get really far. Just an interesting stat: I kept track of the maximum particles(explosion and smoke trail particles) on the screen at once and it turned out to have about 800 for the brief test I did
