Selected skin will also affect the color of nozzle trail (currently blue), which should make it easier to track down particular enemy. :)

Gameplay tips

To get most of the game you can follow these tips:

- Collecting bonuses is really super important, especially the money bonus. Not only you earn experience and money more quickly but also with each bonus collected you increase the bonus harvesting skill.

- There are 2 shops in the game with different items and prices. The game starts in Global arena (Hangar 32) but you can switch to your Platform arena (Hangar 17) with its own shop. Your ships and equipment are shared between platforms so feel free to buy and sell your items wherever you like.

- If you encounter high-ranked player in the game, start to play as a team with other players and take him/her down! :) You will get substantial amount of experience after killing him/her. You can also use other game features to your advantage, initial respawn immunity, hiding behind turrets (which will automatically fire upon your enemy if he/she hits it) etc. Also collecting the "damage" power bonus (red one) will help significantly to increase the damage you deal with your weapons.

- Take advantage of the maneuverability of your ship. Ships turning capabilities are affected by current speed. When you need to turn quickly to follow your enemy, decrease your speed for a while or even come to a full stop. Adjusting the speed during dogfight will give you significant advantage.

Additional features:

- At rank 4 or higher you can write to game chat (press Enter). At lower ranks you can try to express your feelings using automated messages, shortcuts Shift+1/2/3. :)
