Ok, I've implemented many of the features that people have asked for here at TA for Battle for Vesta. This includes pause, save game, better sound, more enemies and others. I've got several new features implemented but not released including difficulty levels and a survival mode. Oh, I have a new icon (see below) as well that will come out in the next release. I'm going to start working on a secondary weapon. What do people think it should be? I was thinking smart rockets, that are sure to hit a target if you have a radar lock and could generate a large enough explosion to damage nearby ships. But I thought I'd ask here are TA first and see if anyone has an idea that sounds like more fun to me. While I'm at if, here are some promo codes so you can try it out if you don't have it already. The only rule is that you have to come back and post a weapon suggestion after playing. (Yeah, I know, good luck enforcing gratitude...)

Freeze Cannon; to temporarily slow down/stop asteroids or enemy ships. Laser Beam; for continuous low damage (Lower than the standard firing but a higher rate of fire). Flare; Lights up target. (Could possible make it a target for other enemies?) Just a thought. Very interesting game by the way. I was expecting a top down shooter and I get this amazing piece of work.
NeoShai, Interesting ideas. The laser is a real possibility. I'm gratified that you liked the game. Tell your friends.
How about a gun that shoots out an electric blast thing and it transfers from one enemy to another, if close enough. Like the little doctor weapon (I don't remember the exact name) in Ender's Game (a book)?
da shiz wiz 19, Is the new icon (attached above) sufficiently epic? I'll think about the Little Doctor thing. I don't want something that makes the last few levels too easy, but maybe there is a way to make it work.
Yeah the icon looks pretty good. I like the cartoonish style it's in. Plus the colors make it stand out quite well
i think a good weapon to have as a secondary gun would be a grenade launcher type gun that fires rockets with a wide blast radius!
XD. This game gave me a real 'Ender' feel as well. Maybe a level where you have to attack a planet would be cool.
Still looking for suggestions. Do you need to play it first? Here you go: LM9JAJEKYRKA M9EHX97KK9XT 6J6PHJLXYYNJ YW9AKFHH6LKT 7YKFJFNJR9XT RX39PRLNMAHP
Alight, given the lack of detail on the space grenades concept I've added a form of smart weapon. The update has been submitted (v2.1) and should go live in a day or two based on recent approval times. The catch is that you have to earn the weapon by beating the game. Beat it again to upgrade the weapon. Note that you can only upgrade twice at the easy level, twice at medium, and once at hard. Or if you refuse to play easy (and you should refuse) you can just beat it five times on hard and get the upgrade five times there. As far as how the new weapon looks, I'm pretty happy. The idea was to have something similar to how missles behave in old anime like Robotech. So you launch a bunch of missles at once and they fly off in crazy directions and finally converge on the target.
