Player names
Other players' names are now displayed next to their ships. Still tweaking the positioning.
Bombs
Second Special weapon, Bombs has been added. Bombs are launched from the back of the ship at low velocity, making them ideal for dropping on chasing enemies and when generally being above the opponents. The bombs are pretty weak however, just barely more powerful than the basic gun, but their greater size ensures better chances of hitting something. Can also be used rapidly and in large quantities.
Weapon Switching
Since there are now two special weapons, the special weapon can be switched at landing pads with the firing buttons (thus also disabling firing while landed).
(EDIT)
Timeouts
Players whose position has not received an update for three seconds are marked with 'Disconnected?' text and made transparent. After roughly 15 seconds the player ship is removed completely. On the disconnected player's side they're dropped from the game after about 10 seconds of ping timeouts. Haven't tested this much in practice yet, but a weird ghost player from my earlier tests has been showing up in the game channel, since I never close it, so at least I was able to check that the ghost player disappears eventually. xP
