This is soooo close to being a great game, but there are some weird issues. Even with the graphics adjusted down, it shreds my CPU. I was probably only getting 2-3 fps when there were a lot of ships, and it's not like the graphics are stunning 3D. The ships seem to ignore my commands when there's something more interesting close by, and they often took the worst route to get anywhere. This is a hard kind of game to get right; like I said, it's close, but it still needs some tweaks.
I wish I could finish it ... the story in the intro was awesome!

Agree with soybomb, Plus needs a save, ships need to attack when flying past another ship not ignor it, spacei is wasted because moving a turret around is to fast, once you send shipsout should not have to deselect them. Iwould like to give 5/5 but must give 2/5 because of all the things mentioned.

i liked it, but there is *so* much room for improvement. i agree with everything that soybomb said. I'd also like to add that ships shouldn't switch targets if I clicked...lost almost an entire fleet because after a few seconds they'd spread their damage or just wander away.

Could be a decent game, but the mechanics are broken. You can send 20 ships after 2 enemies and lose (easily) because your ships will kill the first one, and then they'll act like the second one doesn't exist no matter how much you click on it.

Few things that need fixing/improving for the inevitable sequel: *Make the building's health bars appear on the planet instead of in the space above them. That way their health bars don't get lost when there's swarms of ships attacking them. *Ship movement is often counter-intuitive. Many ships choose to the long way to any given destination, choosing to circle the planet rather than turn the other way.
*Slowdown. There's a lot going on and only so much resources, so there may be nothing you can do about this. *The ships all pretty much look the same. I understand it must be difficult to differentiate them when they are so small, but figure something out. *Little too easy. I enjoyed trying out different strategies, but in the end, I didn't really need to because the only real threat is when the enemy rushes you before you have a chance to build up your defenses.

For some reason that game lags really badly for me, even with the graphics turned down, And I'm using a duel core processor with 2 gig of ram =/ . That and the scrolling seems to be broken and really irresponsive which is a major annoyance. It needs alot of work to fix the flaws which really shouldn't be there. Its a good game but it could be a hell of alot better. 3/5

i give it a four because it draws you in and is a really good rts in the beginning.... becomes rather dull though after 4th or 5th mission needs some diversity and such.... but besides that really good concept and game play

Why do the enemy attack drones in level 1 do nothing, but destroy four of mine? And sometimes my drones just sit around doing nothing while I press attack. Also, minor inconvenience, but if I'm scrolling diagonally and let go of one key, it keeps scrolling diagonally.

Good game, but while I was playing fourth match, it felt like I've jsut done this same thing. Power Station, Mining facility, Tech Center, Improve to tech 2. Then just build those armored ships and done.
Overall it's a nice game with absolutely lots of growing to do. Perhaps Eridani 2 will be a bit more fulfilling experience for me :)
4/5

I get weird reactions from my vessels sometimes and the rockets should retarget something else if the first target dies. Other than that, good game.

Mmm, was looking forward to this being uploaded. Fun game all around, a little laggy at times, but still very nice. 5/5 from me.

A good game, not really my cuppa, but the thing is, it is very very laggy. Apart from that, from what I have seen, it is ok. 3/5 cause of lag
