.SH HOW TO PLAY
The A, F, H, and L keys control the four players, and the escape key
quits. Gamepads are also supported.
.PP
Holding down the button spins the needle on the radial menu in the middle
of the player\'s factory ship. The needle will only travel as far as the
player\'s current resources allow. Resources (gold? seaweed? who knows!)
accumulate over time.  Releasing the button creates a ship that
corresponds to the quadrant that the needle is pointing at.

Small, fast and cheap. Great at chasing down bombers.
.TP
.B Q2 - Bomber
Shoots slow projectiles that do massive damage to frigates or enemy
factory ships!
.TP
.B Q3 - Frigate
A great hulk of a ship that fires volleys of heat-seeking torpedoes.
Effective against fighters.
.TP
.B Q4 - Upgrade
Improve your factory ship to accumulate resources more quickly.
