No overlay in the game I am thinking of. And it was single player only. I've
been doing some more searching on google with no luck. Kind of annoying this
as I remember being bored one day and searching for space combat games and
found it by accident. You could fly into clouds of gas and hide from the enemy
in one of the levels near the end and then pop out and attack. One of the
upgrades you could attach when flying a carrier was a drone launcher but I
didn't bother with that much.
