For folks that download any of the builds here are brief instructions and warnings.

• Select a universe to explore. lucky7.uni is included by default.
• Select new game. All other buttons are disabled or not finished.
• Hit the right mouse button to toggle the menu. The game is controlled primarily with this menu.
• To move select Helm:Navigate. Use the mouse to rotate and hit the left button for thrust. It's a little tricky at first. Keyboard arrows are going to be an option.
• The message box will prompt you when you need to hit the space bar (for orbiting planets or entering systems)
• After orbit, you can land on a planet and explore it. Select Captain:Land. Once you touch down, you can rove around by selecting Captain:Disembark.
• You may click and drag the windows.

• The current build runs in windowed mode. An infuriating bug is that the mouse will often rove outside of the play window, and you will lose focus on the first click. I don't exactly know how to fix this yet. It's probably simple.
• The build is a visual studio deployment package. I may post an archive of the binary folder as an option for people who don't like installing anything. The installer adds (and really removes upon uninstal) about 4 registry keys. It includes the right DLLs for the DirectX if you don't have them already.
