Under rating threshold (show) Excellent game, but I felt it was still missing a few things. More variety with the missions would be nice, the majority of the missions are about going into X sector and destroying everything there. Teaming up with other ships within the fleet would also have added a lot to the game (the boss fight felt like a suicide mission, you're going up against Battle-cruisers & dozens of Strike Fighters alone). As for the enemies, I felt that there wasn't any difference between them, most of them were upgrades of weaker units (Stations - Sentinels, Heavy Fighter - Strike Fighter). On to combat: by the end of the game, you could play multiple roles in battle (Jump-Drive meant that you could ambush enemies or flank them, heavy Shields and Armor made you the ideal front-line fighter, ectr) but choosing a role and building your ship around it would have been a better choice, rather than giving the player a multi-purpose ship that has no weaknesses whatsoever - 4/5

Under rating threshold (show) P.S. One way to improve would be to add a cash bounty for each enemy killed, with the magnitude varying according to enemy difficulty. Also, strike fighters probably wouldn't give any - or no more than one or two credits each.

Under rating threshold (show) I really enjoyed it. But sometimes it was hard to go around and find the different zones. About the "Boss" .. I made it with: Shield = 3, Armor = 4, Havoc = 2, Heavy Cannon as weapon, Reactor = 3. It's not really that hard. Just remember that you can shoot at the "boss" (which is about 10 "stations" next to each other) from a distance. You don't even have to see it on your actual view, just the radar. 4/5.
