Cool Space fighting game

Hey, I am looking for this great game from i think the early 90s. It is a space dogfighting game (2d). You and either a computer or another person fight against eachother in a space arena with planets and all. The the planets have a gravitational pull. So if you get close to them they will pull you in and you will crash

Some of the ships i can remember are the UFO looking thing (unaffected by gravity), and a human ship (i think it is big and yellow), and for its weapon it just sends out lots of little guys(fighters?) and they shoot the enemy.

Also, i 'think' that each ship has a crew of like 100 or something, and when you get damage, your crew starts to go down, and when you run out of a crew, you die. (I am not sure if that is a part of it, or if it was just in a dream

)

um... what else can i remember about this game.... all i know is that it has a wierd name

If anyone can tell me what this game is i would be forever grateful!

Thanks!

are you talking about star control, or star control 2? these are large games, with a dogfighting mini-game called MELEE. the fighters come from a green ship, human ship iswhite. search for star control 2 on search engine theres lots of sites about it. hope this helps

sc2.sourceforge.net/ has lots about starcon2. If you ever find anywhere you can get the original please post here i would love to play that again. #1 has a great 2 player game that is similar to a turn based stratagy game that i want to play.
