just think: you could make a fan-game based on it with your new digitalBYOND guild account! :)

So far I've focussed on playing as Humans just trying to win through Alliances. I have to play on Beginner level, and I did manage an Influence victory, but haven't figured out the Alliance thing yet.
There are a lot of ways to play this game, and you can spend a long time learning all the nooks and crannies, but unlike other games like that, I found it very approachable and enjoyable to learn.
Also, I usually don't like creating my own units, but they did a GREAT job with creating your own spaceships. Plus, the ships you create are available in future games you play so you don't have to keep re-creating them. Yay!
