Its a fun game but its way to laggy to be really fun and miss some tactic aspect to the game the arcade is just about building a bunch of gatheres and then 5 cruiser ships and one misile silo after that your finnished.

Survival is way too hard, there are barely any resources to use. Arcade mode was okay, but not so great if you've played Blizzard's games 3/5

Another thing, the control drone can be used like a shield, they support a nice damage (2 full damage of silos) and run for themselfes, use this for yours cruisers kill another in time, dont forget, the repair is your best friend

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Awesome ideas that almost work very well, but just kind of fall apart. Survival mode is nearly unplayable. 100 ore is not nearly enough to do anything productive. If you stick with the weakest attackers you will routinely end up right back where you started but with stronger foes, but if you try to use cruisers you'll run out of ore too fast. Letting your Mothership take hits is a necessary strategy, but you have no ore to use repair drones with.

Good I got it. I just sent all my ships away at wave 22 so it would finish. how i did it, If i remember right: first two rounds cruisers. then controller and repair thing. then upgrade damage to max while repairing between waves. then armor to max while repairing. At some point i got a 3rd cruiser. then i upgraded thust as well, for the points. then just keep repairing between waves and build cruisers now and then.

Jesto, you can increase your population with the 4th passive drone, the Control Drone, which allows you to have 10 more slots per control drone created.

The AI is stupid.....it will continue to attack even if i ask it to move somewhere esle. Cause of that lost 3 cruisers from level one to ten. No chance of winning now....GAY

1 wave: cruiser
2nd wave: repair
after that: damage+2, control drone, second cruiser
3rd cruiser comes after thrustx1 plate x3 damagex2
add control and repair droids as needed
make cruiser #4 and more after you have all upgrades
and huh, forget bout silo drones and kill rockets first ;)

See, this game is polished. It looks shiny, it's got plenty of gameplay options, it's reasonably comparably to a REAL RTS...
And yet, none of that will cover the fact that it's just not _good_. I mean, come on, it's slow, unwieldy, annoying, impossibly difficult, and generally downright _boring_ when it's not being _senseless_.
*3 / 5*.

Wait, the Medium badge is part of the challenge requirement? So not only is this a poorly chosen game in a week of great releases, but the challenge itself is thoughtlessly designed? I've heard the reasoning behind not choosing MD2, but unless it applies to all the new hits, poor show, Kongregate.

I can't believe it!!!!!! THE CONTROL IS A MESS!!!!!!! I wouldn't play this game if it were the only game on this Earth! Or another Earth... Adjust the controls, because they stink!

Congratulations! You've just completed the Ruling the Skies Challenge! You have earned a card from our collectible card game.
Damn survival, the secrect is: make a cruiser, kill the ship later the mine.
Second wave, build a new cruiser, kill both ships with one cruiser each.
3rd wave, buy a control and a repair, heal your ships.
4rd wave, buy another cruise...
If the game dont bug, your pc reset, the little kitten of your sister dont jump in your keyboard, you can survive for at least lvl 19, just buy the trust (more lower price) two times and you win the card, and forget the badge...

oh dear lord...i'm sorry. my last comment was toward the arcade mode. i just tried the survival and....i mean...what was this person thinkin! really...that's just...ah...i lost faith in the challenges...

Wow survival mode is messed up, 5 games, 5 times I would have my guys at some point just sit and be destroyed, wouldn't return attack ...fail

Game itself is not terrible. Survival mode is pretty hard for the amount of waves you have to make it through though.

For a Starcraft knockoff its not bad, but thats all that it is, it's definitly no Starcraft, but not bad for a flash game conversion, still poor execution, more perfection might have made the game incredible 3/5

Jesto, you can cancel units as they're being built from the mothership. Also, increase the number of units you can build with control drones.
