Couple of suggestions, maybe have a arrow indicator to show how much force you are applying to the ship. As some countries are really small, it would be good to maybe color the country a different color, or to say how far you are currently off, or something to give the player a little assistance. On hardcore mode, all these can be turned off. Maybe flying over a pickup could to give an extra spin on the current country might be good. Depends on the direction you want to take the game. Overall, good game.
