Well, shield effects are in, which means collision detection is in too. I've also managed to reduce the lag spikes that were happening when using a proper server.
Unfortunatly, I've also managed to 1/2 the frame rate with the addition of then new effects and the collision detection routines 
I've also added 'wasd' controls, just do the same as the cursor keys, but it was requested and easy . I've also added the stabilisor function. If you are out of control, press and hold 'T' until you feel ready to take control again.
