looks pretty impressive. Even more since it’s you first project.
First project? What will your tenth look like? Great start!
Movement seems “right” and the targeting system looks very cool. Nice job!

Thanks for your comments everyone! I’m really glad you like it. Here’s the download link for an early version of the game:http://www.sendspace.com/file/tr2mp0
I'd also apprecciate if you reported me the FPS you are getting. I'm currently using pretty much particles, lights and post processing like PSSM shadows.

I have 70-90 fps (without vsync and antializing, 1280x760px). not so much… nVidia GTS 250, Linux 64bit.
use 1 DirectLight and 1 AmbientLight (no more lights)
remove PSSM Shadow processor as you have no ground to cast shadows.
reduce objects count using BatchNode (to merge some instances into one object).

Looks really nice. I’m suddenly really missing my old X-wing vs Tie Fighter.

I tell you what... if Lucas Arts would update the X-wing vs Tie Fighter franchise, I would throw good money at them. Been too long since I've had so much fun playing a space sim. LAN party with 8-players against a star destroyer is one of the best times I had playing a game.
...but now I will stop derailing this thread. The OP's game looks pretty nice. :)
