I have no idea what I'm doing, but this game is cool! Very serene.
Actually, a couple of other notes -- so what happens when I find a life form? I found bacterial life on a planet.
The other thing is: it's possible to get stuck. i.e., if I fly up and touch a planet, I can't thrust away from it. I'm stuck unless I hit the "exit system" button.
Still a cool game, though. I like it :-)
