This is how you could set up your government- Military- Invest a lot of resources into military academies and attack ships. Scientific- Invest a lot of resources into labs. Neutral- No focus. Exploratory- Focus on engineerin' ships, comets, and anomalies. Me? I prefer the scientific.
Y'all need to stop complainin' on how long it takes to play this game. I my eyes, that is one thing that makes this game attractive. You play for 5-15 minutes a day to keep up with it
For those who don't know, when you purchase another ship it trades-in the ship you currently have and subtracts from the cost. If ya want a good ship for trade, start as the Earth Empire (should be Terran but copyright). Do two or three trade runs, then go to Epsilon. Sell your weapon and buy a Constellation Tug (doesn't matter which one but one has slightly higher shields). I normally use it as a merchant ship but it is useful has a trade ship.
I am just goin' to day that this game is awesome! An awesome for RTS fans who like MMOs as well. There are so many different gameplay options. But I agree with karolis61012. There needs to have the option to get different tanks and other units. Maybe if not with XP, maybe some other currency?

Thanks Ace12340! That took a lot of doing. Of course there is the "Cheater" level, but that's the only one.
