are<\/em> enemies visible. The third and final song plays in the Shipyard screen while editing your ship. This has also warranted the inclusion of an options menu to control the volume of the music and a credits screen because more than one person has worked on the game.<\/p>\nShip Size Limit<\/h1>\n
Because a giant blob of tiny class 1 parts is\u00a0just plain stupid, there is now a size limit on each class of ship. Class 1 ships can be no larger than 16×16 and class 2 are capped at 32×32,.When class 3 parts are eventually added, class 3 ships will get the full 48×48 workspace.<\/p>\n
Auto-move<\/h1>\n
At the request of a friend of mine, I’ve added the ability to have your ship automatically move to the position of the mouse by shift + right clicking on the navigation screen. Later, it turned out that he didn’t realize you could just use WASD, but the feature was already implemented by then.<\/p>\n

After more than five months of development, I’ve decided to release version 0.8.1.
