For everyone who doesn't know, you can change the max number of ships in options, then it'll be easier for your DEFENCES (YOUR PLANETS' TURRETS) if you Limit the ships to TEN they won't be able to take on all of the turrets that you set up, allowing you to build up your money to Launch an attack of your own, since they don't imply this method as well your attack is more effective making it an easy win. Please set up a defence on your planet before you attack then beat the game so it can be easier for you. I Learned this the hard way, I gave up then went back and figured this out when we finally were able to manipulate how many ships we could have, it's an awesome strategy!! Muah!

Wont let me choose past lvl 2 tech when I already have lvl4 tech. :(
its a awsome game but just has some flaws, you gotta beat some lvls just to unlock tech on skirmish when you already unlocked on campain

some people may think it's REALLY easy- to be honest, it is o_o but i don't like really hard games so i think this one's good. ^^ plus, it gives me something to do since i got bored of all the other games i know.

I'm going to have to say, this is quite a fun game to play. Although the similarities between the Command and Conquer series is eerily strange. An example you ask? In Command and Conquer, to build a new base, you need a mobile construction vehicle. In Eridani, they have a mobile construction ship. Even the gameplay itself is very similar. But that's why I like this game.

Game isn't bad. It does slow down a bit when hitting max ships. Also it seems that if you survive the first wave of the AI attack, they don't really attack much after that.

btw EASY MODE for the second half of the game is settle on the planet closest to the enemy and build torpedo launcher. then just sit back, maybe build a devestator or 2 and wait for victory

How is this hard!!?!?
As long as your not an idiot wasting resources and using bad judgment, it's pretty easy
Just don't spend too much money on research

Doing skirmish mode, both starting with 500 resource on a random map, and my enemy just built a THIRD research station...

AI is so one track minded it's laughably easy to beat all the levels. Beat it my first try, proof: http://tinypic.com/r/2re19tu/3

An addendum, the AI is horrid. Instead of attacking enemies in range (enemies I tell them to attack nevertheless!) my ships decide to circle around first while getting shot at. Instead of attacking a building, the ships take the long way around a planet.

Control of your own ships is awkward and unresponsive (they seem to like circling planets and stick to their formations a bit too extremely). Enemy AI is pretty unchallenging. They build drones only to have them watch their base be destroyed? Needs a lot more work. The concept is nice though and it does the "quick RTS" thing very elegantly.

True, the ship controls are wierd. Also the ship AI are rather stupid- particularly for your own side: you could have a small fleet of ships attack a building that they are right next to, and half of them will waste time going ALL THE WAY AROUND the planet before attacking.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yeah the ai could do with a little more improvement. Ships still get stuck a lot more than they should do (ie. not at all), and some more advanced commands like setting a path and guarding a ship would be nice. Although come to think of it this game may not be complex enough to warrant that.

the view needs to be able to zoom in and out and repair drones need to be able to be assigned a patrolled area or ship/ship-group or just auto repair like the miners auto mine

lol, i agree, it is a lot more fun; but you really can't compare them, in space game you mine and let the comp shoot, in this you shoot and let the comp mine

Good game. Navigation of the fighter ships can sometimes be lacking. Often you'll have one or two ships that will decide to go around the planet you are attacking instead of attacking the building they are right next to. This places them right in the path of laser turrets. Or if you are telling you ships to go to a specific location, they'll move 30 or 40 degrees off course for no particular reason. Overall, very well done. 4/5

nice game, the view is a little small though, and i would like to be able to quickselect the repairdrones together with the attackships sop they allways follow them to repair damaged ships 4/5

snapping to groups by double tapping their button would be nice, like for group 1 hitting 1 twice quick to jump the map and have group 1 centered.
