o man i am having a lot of fun with this. i really like the pace of the game it gives it the feeling like, nothing is to late you always have a chance to stem the tide.
heh i love it when the enemy is bombarding a colony and just when they think they have the upper hand i jump in with my armada of capitals, cruisers and missile frigs. hehe if only i could see the look on their face.
yep lots of fun!

Is this out in the UK?
I ask because I've been searching various online retailers based in the UK and not a single one has it listed.

Ok then...what am I doing wrong?
Cuz so far it seems to me to grind into a dead heat since, from what I can see, the game cheats and I hate when games cheat (I understand the reasoning why it is done but still hate it).
So here I am, playing with my new shiny game and all seems pretty cool. I am playing the small map for starters which is 1v1 + pirates. I have 2 planets and 2 asteroid...things under my control. The AI seems to have 2 planets and 1 asteroid thing so I am feeling good about myself.
I move my heavy cruisers and dreadnought into a system and find not one, not two, but FOUR capital ships in the system and swarms of frigs. I have NOWHERE near that kind of capacity allowed for a fleet that size (restricted...not money) and am only allowed a single cap ship.
Ok...I figure it cheats but that is not new so I set about taking him apart slowly and drive around to other systems and manage to nab two of the AI's cap ships in separate engagements driving around in a much smaller fleet. Cool I think.
While hunting more I stumbled across a pirate stronghold. At this point I just stared a minute before quitting the game in disgust. The system was LOADED (caps are very on purpose...I mean positively filled) with pirate heavy cruisers. I of course did not count but easily several dozen and that is not counting the pile of frigs and other things. It was flat out stupid. I am allowed a cap ship and 5 heavy cruisers against that!?
**** that ****. Really hope I am missing something cuz I am about to scrap this.
I was having fun till I saw that though.
EDIT: Note that when I quit the game I looked at the stats. The AI seemed to do zero military research while I was well trained there. When I met his cap ships the first time they were all rank 4-7. I just got my dread so not even close. Damn cheater...
Your just a poor commander. you spend too much time and resources on R&D and exploring it seems then seeking out the enemy and crushing them before they get bigger. the comp isnt cheat it can just manage its resources better then you.
also all pirate bases are like that filled with heavy frigs and fast attack frigs. if you had a large enough fleet they wouldnt even pose a threat to you.
my advice to you is get a good build plan when u first start off. get you cap ships some levels by going on the offensive. if you have a large fleet and a good offense everything else will fall into place.
right now i have my enemy surrounded and limited to one planet. all the pirate bases have been destroyed. all i have to do to win is send my fleet in or fire my planet killing gun.
damn i love this game.

Anyone got any tips for getting Metals? I play as the Advent,and even if i fully upgrade the metal extractor research thingies,i still run short....and i don't even build very many ships early on.
Crystals are fairly easy to get once you pick up one of the 4x crystal roid ice planets,i suppose you'd have to get lucky and get a 4x metal roid volcanic planet....but i never seem to get those, any tips?
Also.....is there any way to bring down those ridiculous npc frigate blobs,atm i'm staring down a fleet with 15 caps,130 frigs and 20 assorted cruisers,and as soon as i knock out about 5-8 of their capitals,they just pack up and leave, and since the majority of the time i'm on the offensive,i can't build those phase jump inhibitor things.
heh ive had this prob also. what i do is make 2 missile fig fleets around 60-80 frigs when one is engaging them send the other around to the system they are falling back too. the frigs should beat them to the punch. so, when they do escape the first fleet of frigs the second will be there waiting to welcome them to their icy 0 g graves!
