Wow this is great! It's much faster than I expected.
I've noticed one bug however. You can move your cursor off the screen. While it's still visible on the edge of the screen, it's actually far beyond it and if you try to move it back to the screen, it doesn't appear to actually move until it reaches the screen area again.
Also, I think you can't rotate your ship on sides when in flight mode. You can only move it up/down and left/right. In other words - you can't do a barrel roll

And a tip for other players:
You can increase the game performance by reducing the level of shape detail (dobule click on "pause" icon, then set shape detail to "low").

I didn't know you could do a barrel roll, I had to look up the various keys on the internet as it wasn't in the source so can you tell me what the keys for rolling are?

I only know it was possible to do in GP2X version
You should check the GP2X sources, they have added music support and some other tweaks.

this.... is beautiful..... thank you....

Hmm.. it looks like you just need to set "Elite control method in space" to be able to do barrelrolls
But I found another problem:
You can't scroll the local/starmap and you can't select starsystems in the starmap.
If you're unable to select starsystems, you can't do jumps in hyperspace, that is you can't go from system to system, which makes the game unplayable.

Could anybody make an icon for dmenu ?
I'm horrible in PS and Gimp ...
