basis looks good, hope they use some of the sales money to improve it though.

Would love a MMORTS game like this, where you control the crew of larger ships, you can split control of crew with friends/guildees, etc

Pretty sad when this game makes STO look shallow

Bought it on the day of release. Nerd3 makes normal look easy.

All hell breaks loose quickly if you're not careful.
I've completed it twice on easy with two different ships (Federation ones) but both times I used hull breach weapons to take out the rocket launchers, then shields while blasting it with lasers (not beams).

It's a good game, and I shall continue to play it, it's very good for what it is though, and only paying just over a fiver makes it all the better.

I recommend it if anyone wants a quick hour or so play.

Best indie game I've played in a looonng time. 

Just beat it earlier with the beginning federation ship.  Had two Burst Laser II's and a heavy laser at the end.  Also had a Anti-Ship Drone II flying around harassing.  Continued focus barrage on the flagships shield generator and that was all she wrote.  Cloaking device is invaluable for dodging that missile salvo.

Hope this game gets more support so we can see an expansion or sequel.

It's fun, but the replayability is a bit low. After just a few playthroughs I stopped seeing new events/encounters...

its only a 10 dollar game.

I like to call it an appetizer game.  Play it on the side and such. 

Trying not to cheat and read the walkthrus online is hard tho.

core concept/ship managment - very cool
combat - not enough feedback, a bit too simple
navigation/campaign - feels like a flash game :/ , too much based on luck imo.

Interesting non-the-less

Well I roleplayed gay for long time to get Asca attention as harmless one but it didnt help. I only attracted Tueten, Cicero and Grey Order...

explore as much space before you fight the last boss to have better ship.

Get repair drone if possible

Avoid all random battles before boss. Dont use repair station until after 1st battles.

pirate bay'd to demo it, liked it alot - its fun and cleverly designed.

tried to buy from site, didn't work. might still buy it at some point.

if this was on iphone/browser I would consider it a 10/10 game, but for a full pc release just feels abit cheeky. £7 is cheap but still quite alot for what it is; a stellar browser game.

it reminds me of pokemon, but pokemon was great for gameboy game. I'm not sure I would have liked it so much if I couldn't play it anywhere, and that my irk with FTL.

I really think they should have:
1. released a demo
2. released a mobile version
3. charged slightly less imo (maybe i'm just a tight cunt)

Yeah I think it could make a really good iPad game.

I can't stop visiting those six legged creature planet deathtraps!  It's a great game though.  The original Colonization used to be my goto game for passing time at the airport but this one's going to replace it.
