Yeah I bought the game and played it for a few hours. I've reached the 100 limit for the fleet, 1 capital ship, 2 destroyers, 4 frigates and 4 fighter wings, all high tech Corporate stuff, and there's not much else to do beyong ambushing those fleets coming in off the map. I'm just using the abandoned station to build up an entire spare fleet in the unlikely event I lose this one. The Paragon class capital ship with 4 tachyon lasers on them or whatever they're called is just ridiculous, snipe destroyers from the very edge of your vision with 2 shots, barely need to take any objectives during large battles, just show up with the capital ship, 2 destroyers and maybe a couple of frigates or fighter wings as escort and rape everything.
The things planned to be implemented will probably give the game a little more depth, but you're right, the game mechanics are perfect for a multiplayer game. Probably hard to balance everything around for multiplayer though. I can think of many "troll" fleet builds.
