The laser ship its overpowered seriously with 500 range?? OMFGWTFBBQ? i won the whole game by sending 1-3 of those then spamming cheap ships... easy..

Deck out the drones, buy all 7 specials, send out as many drones at the start as you can and then wait about 5 seconds and use specials 2-6. Gets the drones almost all the way to the end.
I won the last 5 levels that way.

It's hilarious how I came back to this game and managed to beat everything with just scouts and bombers. It's just a proof that weapon upgrades are the main thing in this game. The catch is that humans have to outplay with emp/cloak (lots of distractions), xeyed with lv2 convert followed by rage (this is hilariously powerful if you coordinate converted units with your units), and awlon should not grab warp because it is too expensive. Just make sure you send bombers first since they're slower.

Strategies are too easy to figure out, Ion frigates are far too overpowered if used correctly and cruisers are almost completely useless in comparison to their building speed. I defeated the awlon campaign on hard by using scouts for the first half and a combination of scouts and ion's on the second half. Support powers are also mostly useless because in most cases, if you do unit upgrades properly, you can simply spam enough scouts to counteract anything he does while building up ion's which are strong enough to take down cruisers and frigates with ease. However I did quite enjoy the game and I believe with a little tweaking here and there a sequel could become awesome.

I wonder what they were thinking when the built the ships.
- I know, let's put cannons on the ship.
- But it's a ship for finding a new place to live on.
- Let's do it anyway!

Is there any way we can disable the "Buy Upgrades" confirmation that shows up before *every* mission? Yes, I know I have $317 left, thanks, but it's not like I can afford anything with it >_>

It may look like Starcraft, and it may sound like Starcraft, but to those of you who think it is Starcraft, you are sadly mistaken. It is Spacecraft. :)

Ok im fine with the awlon being able to cloak, but i am NOT cool with them being able to suddenly teleport 2 cruisers right up to my base... right through all my ion cannons. Thats just ridiculous. Also, it is far too hard to collect money if youre stuck on a level. 3/5

overall good, I just think that the salvage system needs balance, just punishes you for winning quickly and doing well by having less salvage

a strategy that i used in addition to cruisers but can be used long before then is to upgrade the production once or twice, buy ions, then give them pushback. during the battle, put one or two ions in each row, but also have everything else concentrated on one or two rows, so the enemy will be too busy with the swarm(s) to deal with your stray ions. any other upgrades and units are completely up to you.

Try this. 1 Cruiser > 10 - 15 scouts > Drones. Scouts must have cloaking and 1~2 speed upgrade. Weapon and armor upgrades to your preference. Only get EMP. Cruiser kills most frigates. Scouts are cannon fodder. Drones are the mothership destroyers. GL players. Great game.

beat the last level in my first try on medium, though it took over 12 minutes to gain the upper hand and use cruisers.

In the year 2525
with most of the Earth's resources harvested, the war for the last resorces began.
Somehow i can see that happening alot sooner than 2525

try this epic strategy for awlon
1. send cruiser in the middle lane
2. send few scouts on the same lane
3.use shield
4.warp
note: make sure to fully upgrade ur cruiser,bushma and laser for maximum effect

I don't like how the difficulty is used. If you play let's say one of the challenge missions that are human vs human and you'll notice that their units even have better range. If it came down to Ion cannon vs Ion cannon the results were always the same, mine never even had the chance to fire on them, and they were fully upgraded.
The computer also seems to enjoy targeting. If you have a ion cannon or missle frigate behind several scouts/whatever, guess what? They ignore the scouts and take out the heavy units while mine target the first available.

Putting 2 missile frigates at the bottom and then 2 at the top, followed by just spamming missile frigate(or anything else) at the bottom will make the computer only send ships to the bottom, leaving the top ships to destroy the mothership. Just saying.

Great game, i do suggest that you change the hot keys around a bit. Nothing is more annoying then hitting 's' then suddenly finding the need to jump to 'm' or 'i'. You don't have to make the hot key the first letter for the name, i much prefer it if u keep it on my left hand (like every good rts key bind).

A good tip. when you get the crusiers in the campaign reset credits and get Every single upgrade that involves crusiers. you can complete levels in about 2 minutes with this.
