The actual play field, needs significant refactoring.
Its way too small, at 80 columns and 25 rows of characters. I tried to play it the way it has been and it does not include anything that would make the game enjoyable to play much less actually do anything.
It really deserves to be played with the terminal/shell/console/tty at or near full size.
The play field needs to be completed with ANSI, ASCII, ISO, UTF8 or unicode characters. Using unicode box characters.
The rest of the play field and game screen needs to be filled with game data:
Enemy Ship Position data
Ship Position data
Other player ship position data
Weapons data (type and data on usage, damage, etc)
Crew/Personnel data
Ship data (name of ship, damage, health, crew,)
Planet data
Moon data
Science and Astronomy con
Mission data
Transporter data and Controls
Starbase data & control
Shuttlecraft controls incl navigation
Weapons controls (selecting weapoms
Navigation controls
Weapons Controls
Communication Control and data
Missions control (starting, ending, selecting missions, etc)
Docking controls for docking to starbases
Scores
