Multiplayer is fun, and it's an actiony game where you're still able to coordinate actions between multiples players to flank and charge and everything.

I don't appear to have any such email.  I've got my receipt from PayPal for the $10, but no emails from IndieGameStand or anyone else connected.  I'm suddenly growing suspicious.

Yep, I've got an account at IndieGameStand, created when I made the purchase.  No game there, no emails.  Hmmmmmmm.

I had no problem, nor did others.  Give it a bit, check spam, etc.  This is certainly a legit site, but all computers will eventually derp.

I'm starting to think that swinging arms may become practical simply because of the size of the design box.  Turrets can move components further than you can build them, so "deploying" guns may be very viable.  Large ships built of low-tech items are technically more efficient, so I can see monster ships unfolding in preparation for combat.

Difficult to make effective because of how fragile it becomes. It also takes like ten seconds to deploy, which is a problem when players are fighting around the carrier. Turrets and platforms need to be cheaper and more powerful for it to be workable, I think, was planning on a second arm stack but I was better off just throwing more guns on.

The email showed up in my gmail instantly. Check your spam folder?
(There were two emails from IndieGameStand, one titled "Welcome to IndieGameStand!" with the username/password, and the other titled "Gimbal is ready to download! [#something]" with an order ID and transaction ID and such.)

Not sure if you can rank up by just idling or not. I was in the ship builder I think I ranked up at the end of a match, but I had managed to kill some people earlier.

You get money per kill and per win both match and whole game wins.  So yes, just idling will eventually earn you cash.

for noob play, I had some luck with flak overload.  Just shotgun the whole area, go for speed and suicide, run in close and flak over the whole enemy.  Or mount some 50mm on a turret and get mouse aim.

50mm does seem remarkably effective.

Taz, when I got to that screen I already had the key copied to my clipboard, and it had it filled out with it with no keypresses required.
Did you have the key in your clipboard when you got to that screen? If not it might be worth a try.

It had like three different ways of taking your money (and google wallet has multiple ways itself IIRC)... Do you need to throw cash at your monitor for it to be acceptable, or what's the problem?

Bought it at full price.  Now devs can be happy at me, though I'll have some 'splainin as to why something is charged from "888888888 labs" on the bill

Probably no reason other than it giving them a larger B-peen.
