My cousin once hacked to make a reflector shield.... 8D It was fun. For him, anyway. X)
Aliens actually don't have a definite advantage against humans. Yes, Aliens have better weapons, but there's one major downside: They have HUGE ships. This makes it incredibly easy to hit them with super-powerful unguided attacks. Humans have smaller and slightly faster ships, although they have equal shields to their Alien counterparts. (Except for the Defender. It has 30 more Shields)
So overall, they are equal. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Very, Very, good game. All it needs is better music...
SERIOUSLY. THE MUSIC WAS TERRIBLE! >O
4/5. Could use some improvements, such as better music (EHM) and a camera control. :D As in, you can zoom in anywhere. The music just made it seem non-epic, it was so anti-climatic. :/
Twelvie, you obviously are going too far out. I normally go in a circle, so it balances difficulty to match my evolution.
The number one rule of this game:
DON'T GO IN ONE DIRECTION.
