The story: It's 2104. There is a colony on Mars, and a colony on Earth. They are fighting each other because there is some tension between them, and there was an attack on a diplomatic ship on it's way to Earth. Events escalate to open warfare, and the battles rage on for weeks. Then a mysterious and opportunistic alien force moves in to try and take over the solar system at a time when Earth and Mars have commited to fighting each other. Play: The interface is cool. You control your ships just like you would in any RTS. The battles seem to play out kind of like in Homeworld. There are subtle differences. For example, when attacking, you can attack a ship's subsystems. Also when you use the same pilots over and over they get better. The brings up another cool aspect. This game has the added advantage of allowing the officers under you to gain experience along with you. Which means that when you become commander of the fleets (or whatever the title is), then you can promote people to take control of a battle group. This means that if you trust them enough, you can give them an order to take a system, and they will do it. You don't have to be present for anything. It helps out when the fighting is in a distant system and you need to be right where you are. Graphics: Kick ASS detail on everything. Except the planets in the solar systems seem a bit close (everything is highly detailed, yet the planets are so close... it's kind of funny). The ships are done so that you can zoom way out and have good detail, yet you can zoom right up close and see details when looking right down a gun turret's barrel. I especially like the backdrops when you are in space. The planets are done in beautiful detail. You can get real close and see Olympus Mons on Mars, you can see Jupiter's moons in fine detail along with Jupiter's banded atmosphere, and you can see the continents and weather on Earth. You even get a little blinded when you turn to face the sun, yet not so much so as you move farther away. I haven't played more than about an hour on the game, so I can't really give any recommendations. But I do know that it may be worth checking out if you are into RTS type games. <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!

Is there a demo somewhere for this game?

Okay! I got through the first mission. Where Mars and Earth are fighting each other. I've now established a colony on another world, and it's awesome! I've been fighting some pirates, and exploring. It's fun, but I ended up in a system that had only a couple of asteroids. So I'm kind of limited on my resources. I guess you could say that the first mission is a sort of tutorial. It's kind of overwhelming when you start, but it's good to go about it the way they did. Researching is interesting. There are a variety of paths that you could go with weapons, equipment, planetary technology, and government. The only part that I find somewhat challenging is trying to plan things out ahead of time. For example, should I research quantum weapons or missiles? I also forgot to mention that you have an allocation of research points which limits how fast you can progress on things. If you want to research quantum weapons, you can't really pour your research into keeping your population happy, or planetary defenses and so on. It's good that things are done this way, but also kind of irritating that you can't progress very fast in a certain direction. The hero system is interesting. I once had my hero's unit eliminated, but my hero was rescued and returned to duty after a while in the hospital. <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!

Tried the demo. Sure is a purty game. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> Not sure if it's got that "suck you in" attraction like Cataclysm did, but it does have a lot of cool things. <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.

Well... if you played or liked any of the Imperium Galacticas, you might like this. The "suck you in" feeling doesn't seem to develop until after you start to consolidate the solar system under your iron fist. <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!

Finished the demo. The last mission, where you have to attack Earth? I had killed one of the bases with my ships before the instructions came through not to get close to the bases, and the kamikaze plan and all that. The game crashed on me (something about a direct sound error) a little later, and I couldn't do it that way again when I tried. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> I spent a lot of time trying to kill those bases. One time I went in with my fighters and they got slaughtered. Another time I brought in all of my ships (there were a lot of corvettes in the group... missile and blaster mostly and I had the upgrades for them), I got close and took a station down to one bar of health. Then some stupid repair bots came out and started repairing the stations guns. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:"> Finally I got the idea to kill of the fighters and escort the kamikaze ships in. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!
