Beat survival mode in the 2nd attempt (first attempt I gave up after the 3rd wave cuz a unit died :D)
But all you need is those cruisers, repair bots, upgrades and ofc those control bots.
Get abotu 4 cruisers for the first 20 waves, fully upgraded n stuff, 2-3 repair bots to keep up during and after a wave.
then get 5-6 cruisers and get to wave 30 easily, its a bit boring tho.

The arcade mode was too short, the skirmish mode was ridiculously hard considering the resources given compared to the enemy..It was very hard to get the badge and the game got a lil repetitive towards the end..great concept but horrible AI and too hard.

The game's just too slow... I didn't feel any sense of action at all. You should be able to build more motherships and be able to delete your units as well. The enemy AI in arcade mode was pathetically easy, and in survival mode, there was no room for originality - you practically had to follow a set pattern to get anywhere. Creating units was the worst - even with a lot of metal ore, there was no way to use it all. This could be a lot better if it was tweaked a bit. 2/5

Ok, here's how to beat level 30 on survival:
Start with a cruiser. Wave 2 build two repair drones and repair. From now on, alway put repair drones into one control group and cruisers into another.
Now the important part: Move all your drones (if needed one by one) on top of the mothership so it takes all the damage. You'll have to use the stop command for that. Repair drones have to be set on auto repair again (repair icon must be orange) after you stopped them. After you have 3 cruisers, start researching armor and damage. Then go for 5 cruisers and at least 5 repair drones. Target the missiles first, but only after they're in attack range so your drones don't move.
If you manage to keep your drones inside of the mothership, you should have researched everything by level 30.

I have to say, and it surprises me, but I really really hate this game.
Upgrades only affecting new ships? Bad. Short, timed missions in an RTS? Worse. Annoying repair bots that after each suicide wave auto-repairs the nearest damaged ship even though you set it to idle just a second ago? Freaking annoying.
There are a good number of other general flaws as well, from general controls to the necessity of fog of war on such small maps that using scout drones are pretty pointless.
2/5 and not sure who thought it would be fun to make this the weekly card challenge.

Stupid thing - got 200 hundred on survival mode, got bored and let myself die - submitted it, but havent got the card (and yes i have got the other tick

AI is really bad sometimes. If I click on a mine to tell my gun units to attack it I don't expect them to run into it kamakaze style.
Survival mode is ridiculous. The enemy sends units worth 200-300 ore per round and all I get to work with is 100???? Opposite of fun.

This game is..... well......
its just not a fun game :(
they should have made survival easier and had different enemies like aliens and they could have made it a faster paced game

Good concept, but unfortunately has a control scheme that is extremely frustrating. Many times my units would deselect instead of moving, and it's difficult to manage repair bots as well.

okto get the badges and cards u gotta *SUBMIT YOUR SCORE*
and the upgrades dont go with all ur ships cuz it *ONLY GOES WITH THE NEW ONES*

The ships you build before you buy an upgrade aren't affected by it, is this a glitch or is itintentional.
Great game, bad interface.

fix up the controls for making sure your ships are doing what you want... it's really stupid right now and not user friendly for me to click my ships and click enemy ships for them to attack

I want to say right off the bat that I love RTS games. Just please, don't judge RTS' based on this . The controls are clunky and really doesn't involve strategy. Only worth playing for the badges and card. 1/5 because I couldn't give it 0/5

Well I am going to give this a 4/5, the main problem I see is that switching from ship to ship you might accidently make the first ship move over to the first one.

Meh... there should be more options on what units you can build, etc. It's just not very creative.I mean, it looks great, and it's easy to order around your ships and stuff, but there's almost nothing you can do in it. I just find it a bit to tedious to get the card. 2.5/5 (Rounds to 3)

This game is really bad. The repair drones randomly start repairing stuff if you don't unclick it, and using your money. The upgrades apparently don't register with all of your ships.
