it needs to give 150 ore so that you have enough for repairs and drone building but apart from that the game is really good(i made 1500 points in sorvival) 4/5

I'd have to agree that reading the comments is much more fun than playing. Stealth fighters? That is -- they pop up right on top of me, and none of my ships can see them. Repair drones engage the enemy rather than repair. Man! I'm really bad at this game. I'd hate to think the AI has more "I" than I.

Found a bug: if you're researching a technology, there's no limit to the number of times you can click to research the tech again (thus getting charged to do so) but you only ever get to the maximum level.

You can turn off auto repair by deselecting the repair button. That helps a bit. But yeah the game has some flaws that stop it from being incredibly fun.

I really did get bored of this game quickly....really annoying chasing down a ship. Move stop fire move stop fire move stop fire.
Could be good, but still needs a *LOT* of work. Didn't bother to get the Hard badge as it was just too much effort waiting for another 10waves or so.....as soon as I was past lvl20 I just stopped building.

this sucks. i'm losing my mind with the controls. click, esc, select, click, esc, select, click, esc, click, click... F*CK

this game has the potential to be kind of fun, but it isn't. no matter what it could be, if it doesn't bring that to the table, then it's not really worth playing (or having a card/badges).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This card will be rare. I agree with pretty much everyone else; Survival Mode is too difficult. It should not have become a card requirement. Rather dull and repetitive game, though fun the first 10 minutes. Way too many flaws. 2/5

Wasted time even loading time. I understand this would have taken hours and piles of skill and time to make but its not my sort of game, its so slow. And too complicated, I want to play games to chill but this game is rediculus. I think a lot people will agree.

The tech only effects the ones u build afterwards.... lame. Survival is way to had, if its beatable it must be one strategy that everyone has to use

Satrevi, you can turn the auto-repair off by clicking the orange repair icon when you have the repair drone selected.

unit control is too ridiculous now the hard badge on level 25, thats reasonable, but i think there should be an impossible bage for making to level 35 in place of the hard bage, and the game needs better controls, i mean my base is almost dead, and the dummy reapir bot goes to heal the ship thats almost at full health automaticcaly and keeps repariing automatically making it harder to buy cruisers -_- its ridiculous they are my bots and should stay put when i tell them and mvoe where i tell them!

first, i really dont like RTS... secondly, survival is WAY too hard... i can only ever really have 2 or 3 units at a time because of ore...this game is rly not vry good... so y did it get card??? 2/5

The pilots of all my ships must be drunk because this game is just terrible.... well it's a good concept, and the game is O.K. , what I meant to say is that the ships under my control fly around like tard-busses... for lack of a better word. Plus, just trying to click on ships if there are others around makes this game so annoying.

Repair drones are horrible. They repair without your telling them too, and then stop repairing when you tell them to repair.

I dont understand why everyone is complaining too hard, well i am going to complain too easy, survived to 30 wave in first try.. :)
TIP: turn around the enemy, they are dump...

I agree with the previous poster: arcade mode is way too easy (and strangely named), while survival mode is so very hard! I did not get very far at all until I discovered the way to hide drones behind the mothership (order them to go from one side of the ship to the other, but tell them to stop once they are behind the ship).
I give this game 3/5.

Bah, the controls of this game makes it painful to attempt playing. Why does this game get the card?
Not worth my time...

Here are some tips for those trying to get the hard badge (at least it worked for me, but I barely made it to wave 30): hide your units behind your mothership and shoot enemies from there. Only use cruiser drones to attack, keep hidden a repair drone and control drones as needed. You should upgrade technologies as soon as possible, starting with damage, then thrusters and plating whenever you have extra ore (which should not be that often). Try to wait until having fully upgraded before building your third cruiser, to use said upgrades. Two cruisers should be enough until then.

100 ore isnt enough recources to make a great army out of, the only way to win survival is a good tactic mine is forward defence kill before mother gets killed
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well ok after some "thinking"...i reached wave 29 but....got killed by the heck amount of force. One idea that could be used is bait. Use a mine bomb(not attackers cause they will attack) and go near enemy ships/rockets. They would always chase the target it locked itself on so your cruisers can finish the job. I won't try it again though....boring and pointless....i'm outta this game.

@ TheRabidBaby: I actually managed to stop the drone from repairing by just parking him somewhere and hitting stop once. That way he doesn't move even though there is a damaged unit in the vicinity. Hope this helps.

However, the thing that grinded across my nerves most was, for some reason, the lack of a command to stop the repair drone repairing automatically! Seemingly the only way to prevent this was to hammer on the stop button. The little drone took this to such an extent that even when the ore ran out it attacked itself to my mothership in a feeble attempt to repair it. Again, in survival mode, management of ore is vital, and it is incredibly frustrating to find yourself a few ore short because that little repair drone thought it would take the initiative.
So, yeah, a fun game until all these little things start to pop up. Fix these and you’ll have one of the best games on the internet (provided you add some more strategy with the asteroids, one sitting next your base isn’t a challenge)

benvwd there is a way, click on the mother ship so it is selected then again to de select it, it (in arcade) will have 2 options quit, or see mission

While at first seeming fairly enjoyable, there were a number of things that eventually managed to get on my nerves, especially since i failed survivor mode several times because of them:
The attacking system is just plain stupid. Its almost impossible to line up a decent attack against a mine without one of your ships deciding to run headlong into it. At one point, when i was attacking, all three of my ships just stopped firing! The enemy ships health bar was empty, but it was still there, firing away happily...that bug ended in my mother ship being destroyed. Occasionally, if i attack a ship with 2 or more of my own, one of the attackers will just wander off by itself! All these flaws pretty much make survival mode a matter of chance.
Also, there needs to be a better way to deselect things. I get tired or clearing my chat every time I deselect something.

It is impossible to control the ships in a battle properly. To send them to a single target, while others are attacking to is prevent by the band way all units are handled. You loose unnecessary ships through this; which is quite tough in the survival mode.
also woudl a zoom out function be very neat.

Need a way of bringing up the mission brief - they are too difficult to remember - take mission 2 - I've repaired eveything but can't remember what else to do now.

Figured out a way to take advantage of bad enemy AI. All you pretty much have to do is get your force set up as per most other comments here. First few waves just build cruisers and controller + repair bot during the third wave. Build up a moderate sized army of cruisers (4-5), and ensure you always keep your repair bot alive. This is easily done by positioning it near to your mothership and defending against enemies nearest to it first.
This is the main strategy though: Get a solid sized force of control ships. 4 will do nicely. Position them north, south, east and west of the mothership, approximately sitting on the edge of the earth in the background. The trick is to let these little guys tank everything for you. As they are fast, cheap and a have a solid amount of hp, most enemies will get off a single shot at them before bugging out and chasing them across the map. Try it out. ;)
