Thanks, @Kernelpanic. There's no shooting till further in the game. The first job is to scan the purple asteroid and capture it as Cobalt said. Great job @Cobalt for hanging in there and getting past the landing and recharge screen! You were totally on the right track in the box if you got the balls to shut off. Why move on so quickly (hint, hint)? Also remember the computer tells you that it's switching to landing mode "for more power."
So, yes, it looks like I've got loss of control issues with the ship when it's in main thruster mode. I've had it lock up on me once or twice, but that was out of the zillion times I've played/tested it. I didn't think it was a real problem, but this is why I put it in the Works in Progress thread. I've also had the ship go super-fast-crazy on me - sort of what @SMcNeill described above - but again maybe twice. Of course once I posted it here, Murphy's Law had to kick in.
I'll muck around in the ship controls and try to fix the issue. Thanks everybody for the testing and feedback!!
