Found a game you guys might like

there's several ways, i'm used to using the wasd controls, but you can use the mouse or click bill to follow his ship...you can also change the control method in the settings window (gear icon in the top of your screen), personally i like the relative controls, bit more complicated, due to the fact that the way the camera is pointing is the way the ship goes, but it's more maneuverable. the default settings are easier, cause it goes wherever the ship is pointing instead of the camera, but the ship can only turn 8 directions or so, in the relative it can turn double that.

also when you unlock the interplanetary travel you'll find some NPC's that actually shoot back
