I have a few extra thoughts on Terraforming after playing it over the weekend: first, the exhaust flame that belches out the ship's rear when changing speeds is damn handy for handling rear attacks, but it can leave you moving at a crawl (i.e. - easy target) if you aren't paying attention. Second, the pea shooter is kinda worthless; after you get shot down, you better be good a dodging until you can pick up an upgrade, as many of the enemies can take a ton of abuse from your standard weapon. Finally, while the backgrounds are often pretty, they are also very repetitive (due to the limitations of the 2.0 system card, no doubt); you'll really notice the repetition if you're using the blue homing weapon, as there are a few spots where you can hold down the fire button and enjoy the scenery.
