To someone earlier: the repair drones don't listen to you because you have to toggle off their standby repairs state (indicated by the green wrench button which turns orange).
Not a fan though. Unresponsive units, poor app performance, and just plain wrong choice of unit-to-playfield scale.
If you want to complete the survival thing without dealing with that crap all day, move your control drones across the mothership and use the Stop command to hide them under it. Do the same with a group of repair drones (make sure to re-enable their repair mode after you stop them!) They'll take little or no damage while your cruiser fleet sweeps the area.

nvm, i just finished the req. for the hard badge, i got 4300 points, i think. now i just have to wait for it. and you guys do know you can select more than one drone right? this way, you can move a bunch of them from one place to another.

I'd also have to add that its absolutely impossible to keep track of unit hps when they stack up on eachother and cover up their own damn bars. Starcraft for instance has bars over the portraits in the selection field... why not this? It's a logical and rather simple addition seeing as the dev already has a unit portrait window implemented here... not having hp bars just seems lazy. Or a massive oversight.

2/5, okay concept but its buggy, has terrible controls and AI, and the lack of a pause button, all made me want to choke the dev while trying to do the survival mode badge.
So many times I had control ships disappear underneath my mothership, or repair ships spin in circles, and the mouseclicks never, ever respond the way you want them to. Try to click-drag a box to select a group of units and move the camera or something stupid instead. Stopped playing as soon as I got the badges.

This game is good, but it would be nice if in the next version some things were fixed to make the UI more responsive.

Honestly, the controls of the repair robot need some fixing. You cannot unselect him easily and if you try to select a different ship or the mothership it goes to repair it.

i got the medium badge and the card and i could have gone for the hard badge but i was bored stiff so i just cancelled the game :P

Mine drones' pathing is idiotic, they run at each other in circles. Also, you couldn't implement an autoscroll for putting the mouse at the edges at all?

I got the card and badges on my first attempt, so I have no reason to bitch and whinge about problems which won't impede any half-decent player. I _still_ give this 5/5, it's a superb game.

wow, survival is so impsossible the first few lvls cuz you get like no money at all and repairing costs money and when your mothership gets hurt you gotta repair it which takes more money....you should be able to get an asteroid to gather from not that stupid '100$ per lvl' crap. hate this game!!!

threres a lot of control isues in this game, you cant realy tell you drons to atack just to move and it sucks. A lot of the time i find my units dying just because i cant get them to do what i want fast enough

A nice looking game, but quite buggy/infuriating. It took half an hour and two refreshes to get the card and hard badge (first badge went okay, so I submitted a bug report for the hard a little prematurely, sorry!). Your drones often just sit there and take fire, and I don't think the shapes they move in when selected in groups helps at all. Ideally they'd be either close together or spread out in an arc, but a pentagon or hexagon isn't really useful unless they are guarding something. One slightly helpful addition could be to highlight all damaged drones to make it easier to pull them back to be repaired. Silo missiles appear to move faster relative to cruisers when there are more objects on the screen, fixing this would be appreciated :)

Like many have already said, the survival mode isn't right.
Having said that, I really enjoy Arcade mode while I were playing that. Quite fun

The AI sucks. Whe your ship chases another ship, it stops to shoot, and that gives the enemy time to run away. 3/5. Survival is too hard.

Yepp...this game sucks big time...lots of things to work on...consept is good tho..
Its like playing a small version of Starcraft. If the game was improved alot...its would be fun tho...
Errors that needs to be addressed is: 1. the controll over the drones SUCK....they dont do what i tell them to do..if a want them to attack a certain target...they wont.. 2: Often they just stand still...dont return fire..like a bug that occurs... hate that..:-) ill rate it 2/5 ...hope it will get an uppgrade tho.:-)

The AI in this game is really dumb. I can get about 4 mine drones stuck in a circle trying to kill another mine drone.
Also, my repair drones run away too much.

nice and easy concept. not challenging enough. survival mode got REALLY boring after level 30. made it to 60, just let them die - could not be bothered. please make the screen bigger. you cannot seriously fight anything with that small box.

What I hate about survival is that it isnt a survival mode. Its a build this unit first then this unit then this unit or you will die. Even if you build the correct unit roll the dice due to the AI and see if it likes you. I find it would be much more enjoyable if you actually gave us the resources to build up a fleet and sent a large fleet against us. That way maybe you could have some strategy rather then a follow this build order or die mentality

soooooo repetitive. got very boring, i just stopped building at level 38 and let it go. made it to level 43 and died, finally. 2.5/5
too easy and not enough variation.

ahem, i dont know why, but i cant select a unit. when i click on it and release the mousebutten the unit gets selected and immediately deselected ..... ???
