Customer Reviews:
Not a long term game, 2008-08-17 I was very pleased with the game. It is always fun seeing large fleet battles. When you can control the events, it's even more fun. The game is easy to learn and conquer. I can't imagine anyone playing this game 3-4 days a week, however it is fun to go back and play one or two times a week.
If you warp an overwhelming fleet into a planet's system, the enemy will simply warp away. This gives them a chance to regroup, build, and counter attack. So warp a small fleet in and wait for the enemy fleet to fully engage. Then warp the assault force right on top of them. Focus all you have on one capital ship at a time and watch them try to scurry away.
