Needs a 'recycle unit' button on the mother ship... Also could use some multiplayer that would be great :3. Great game and keep up the good work! 5/5! PLUS THIS COMMENT FOR MULTIPLAYER AND RECYCLED UNITS XD!

Why can't I see my score on survival mode? I figured I had it at wave 30, so I tanked, then found out I scored 3400. Lame.

was a nice game...until badge ruined it.
The best way to deal with missiles: use your CONTROL DRONE. W/ +3 plating they have 105 health and is capable of surviving a direct hit from missile (which deals exactly 90 dmg). thus starting from round 20, make sure you have 6 control drones and round them evenly around your base with a bit space from center. they'll soak up fires from enemy silos and they'll one-shot incoming missile! just repair every one to full after combat. even if you lose one its only 50G compares to 100G crusier.
RATE + SO OTHERS CAN SEE THIS TIP!

It would be nice to have unit that can move and shot at the same time, especialy against those missiles that blow you up if you just stop moving to aim at it.

2 stars.. if The arrow keys wouldnt stick and make the map go crazy and make it impossible to play..id give it more.. but not atm

adrokila, i read your guide 'cause i thought it was a poem or something.... but it's just impossible to follow... 3 cruiser drones in a row without any control drone? impossible... be careful about what you write before spamming that way

Here's another tweak this thing desperatly needs: Units go back to their original positions after taking down the enemy. Every wave ends with at least 2 units too far away from a repair and at least one hole in the defence, forcing the rearange of the units all over again.

Part 2: Wave 4-8: Constantly heal with the repair bot bot not fully, and max out damage upgrade and plating. Wave 9-15: Start making more Cruiser Drones (they are the combat units, also remember to make Control Drones!) until you have 4 on each side (8 altogether). These drones should be in groups of 2, in a square formation, and facing where the enemy approaches. After every round, fix this up to make them face that way. This is useful for attacking enemies quickly, and to kill missiles, since they 1 hit your ships. Wave 15-30: Upgrade Thrust to full, continue healing and replace Cruiser Drones when necessary. This should get you easily to wave 30 if you understand my words, and you can even get a further 5 waves from this. After that, it gets tough. But its enough for the hard badge. Good luck everyone!

Survival Mode tips (vote up if helpful) Part 1: The trick is to max damage then plating. Thrust you can get later on. Each technology gets you 100 points. First wave: get damage upgrade, plating upgrade, and make a Cruiser Drone. When the 2 enemies come on map, look for the drone fighter, it moves faster and have the cruiser go after it, then move it to kill the other enemy incoming towards the main ship. Wave 2: Buy another Cruiser Drone. Place the drones where enemies approach. Wave 3: Buy a Cruiser Drone, and a repair bot. 1 repair bot is enough to last you through 30 waves. Just use the time for the 1 repair bot to slowly heal, although not fully, but nearly full. Again, place them where the enemy comes.

There is currently a bug where if you press a control group (e.g. 1), press esc, then press 1 again, the screen will centre on that control group.

The greatest challenge in this game are the controls. For the hard badge, get some repair bots to throw themselves at the guided missiles that start to come with the waves after wave 20 or so.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The controls are a bit wonky if they stop working i found clicking into a new window and back would fix them. Also survival gives to little money as it get harder doable for badge but not much further. Since you dont mine I thought having the refinery skill make healing cheaper would be a nice addition. Overall I liked the game. I especially liked that the refinery skill make it more efficient not faster since there are only 1 mine spot. keep up the good work.

I let myself die because it had been a while in survival and YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SCORE. And guess what I got? 3,700... Was pisssssed.

I don't mind it being similar to games like Starcraft but could you at least include the "Rally Point", "Patrol", "Group Hot Key". It is very hard to get units to do what I want and micromanagement is just not possible in this game. This game is 3/5 at best.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
After further thought on the game, and playing survival, the game needs a lot more work to be a decent game including revamping the controls, ability to force repair ships to actually stop doing anything, stop having ships just wander off to the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason etc.
Sadly, "almost the same" just doesn't quite mean "good enough".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Needs some way of setting units to guard areas/patrol. Even just a basic command so they return to a point when they finish fighting. At the moment it takes a while to organise any force larger than a few units after each fight. Good game though.

@Anubis579 you cant delete a unit once you make thats it you cant delete it you have to have it destroyed but if i find out how to delete a unit ill tell you

Sorry to double post but reiterating what VenomClaw said, USE CRUISERS. Seriously, they are far superior to the others and last you a long time. Make sure you have a few repair bots amongst them and when you get the opportunity upgrade armour and weapons then make more cruisers. Ignore silo bots and the strikers and even mine bots. Just use cruisers.

Interesting game, but fairly unplayable given the bug that when a mine blows up your unit it doesn't subtract it from the control count.

heres a way to do it in skirmish:build 9 cash drones[10] upgrade refinery,thrusters,defence,then attack in order and build some control drones 2-3 reccommended then just free style
and attack when u need to'

skywind, it works fine on my computer you may need a new pc.... like I did for some of my games on steam. you shouldn't blame the game I think they did a good job.

needs a better way to control the ships. wasd map controls would make it a lot better. otherwise... pretty good game.

On Survival, when the missiles start coming - try putting out repair drones to draw the missile fire. I haven't found anything that will kill the missiles before they hit, so I hope they hit something cheap. Repair drones are the cheapest thing you can buy.

Multilayer existst n developers site, and you get 5+ ore per wave in survival, and if not then you do on devs site, Cruiser drones are awesome, SIlo drones seem to be like siege wepons and destroy motherships easily, Strikers not worth it too much, Devs site also features skirmish mode with up to 4 ppl controlling thier own armys n stuff

O.o i lost the survival because i wasn't able to make my ships attacking
nuclear missiles are not fair!it miss wasd scrolling in the minimap(i made a macro for this...)
i want some ship like a LONG range artillery ship(yes i come from eridani:D)
please reduce the cost of repairing at 1 ore for 3point repaired; sometimes you spend more money by repairing than buying a new drone!
Arcade is awesome!!!Really liked it!

Pretty lame controls, very hard to play on a laptop. Simple modifications like WASD as an alternative for arrow keys and scrolling by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen are RTS basics that were commonplace in the 90's. I know kongregate isn't AAA gaming, but if you're going to build an RTS (or any game really) you should be familiar with the basic UI tropes for that genre. 2/5

Eh...it's..ok at best. It's very dull, very slow, the timer is apparently set to count down twice as fast as it should, navigating is a nightmare. You should be able to see the whole map and not cover it with that...sky. It makes fighting anything such a huge pain in the ass because you can never see what you're doing. It's hard to scroll around, units move slow, are built slowly. The unit limit is a pain in the ass, the motherships speed is pitiful....I could go on. It's not horrible, but incredibly dull and everything about it is feels like it's handicapping you. I'll get the medium but I'm not putting myself through survival right now.
