I just read the review and they metioned a cloaking device.
So did you get any cloaking device and more importantly is it useful?

Nah I haven't got any cloaking device, the liir I'm currently allied to have one though.
The tech tree is randomly generated every time you start the game, aside from the core technologies though, so you tend to always discover something new.

About to do the same. I hate waiting for games, and for £20 this looks like it's worth it. Thanks for the mini-review Epsilon.

Looks like Homeworld 2 some.
Is the space "deep" or..what can I say...I mean.. Can you go "up and down" and to the sides like in HW series. (If you played those)

Is it like HW gameplaywise too if you played those ? Smile


edit: aaw crap, my english feels like rubbish, a bit drunk and tired as fuck. oh well.

No you cannot go up and down in battles, you can't build ships in battles either.
It's a Turn based strategy game with real time battles, the strategies you can employ in the battles is decided on: your researced technologies, your CnC ships "command ships", your weapons of course, and the same things of your allies if you have any, you have to remember though, research don't just give you weapons or better ships, but can give you sensor upgrades aswell, enabling you to give more advanced orders to your ships and of course see where the enemy is. Theres a whole tech tree of about 1-200 techs consisting of ai research, one which can get so advanced that.....well we've all seen terminator right?
those damn self sustaining revolting ai's!, on the other side these ai's can also be your friend in battles, but be carefull they don't get smarter than you Twisted Evil

Episilon, what to assault shuttles do?

I created some assault ships, got them into close range and then activated the shuttles manually in the weapons status display you get in the top right in tactical battles, yet they don't seem to do anything. Crying or Very sad

a bit drunk? Wink you can use them to effectively conquer a planet, if they don't get shot down, the higher population on the planet the more shuttles "or better" you need, just make them attack the planet then watch on the planet surface as the fighting starts.

iunno. I played teh demo thinking it was going to be somewhat liek GalCiv2... but in the end I found it kind of disappointing. I mean all you do is build ships and research techs :/ I was hoping there would be some management of planets, like tax, building stuff on it(ala Gal Civ 2).... The game seems promising, but it just doesn't seem to grab my interest :/ Maybe its the demo that just sucks Razz
