At Thomas' suggestion I downloaded the demo yesterday, or rather redownloaded it and spent quite a lot of time on it. Guess it pays to pay attention to mission briefings! I didn't realize that in Mission 1 you don't necessarily have to move from your current location to target the ships. So

Awesome! When I first tried the game, I didn't think I would get into it. It just didn't click with me. But, when I played mission 2 and found that I would be attacked by the destroyer if I wasn't careful, and that I had to dive for safety, then go and get that darned ship, yeah! I was
