As an Italian, some of the player names are hilarious.

The game seems really cool and honestly really impressive, but it's hard to understand what you're supposed to do at any moment.

You have a typo here https://github.com/ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky/blob/17f3e2a21e...

Also, the Italian-food sounding names are hilarious, well played :)

Thanks! I agree, I really need to write a wiki or something. The problem is that this game started as a basketball managerial game and then got completely derailed as I kept implementing whatever I thought was cool at the moment.

I think there are mainly 3 themes to play for:

- Basketball: assemble the best possible team. Basically try to acquire as much money as possible to hire the best free agents;

- Money: just try to get as rich as possible, using the market and in the future your asteroids;

- Space adventure: get the best possible spaceship (more options will be available in future releases) and have fun in the spaceshooter game you can access from your team pane (button 'Space adventure').

I tried to combine and summarize these 3 themes by having a reputation score assigned to your team, which can increase based on all 3 conditions. In the Swarm pane there is a Top Ranking window where the best crews are listed.
