Especially for it's time...this could/would/should have been in the top ten games of all time to this day. Instead of writing a better strategy routine, the devs chose to cheat. In the middle of combat, I have even caught enemy ships repairing themselves without any such equipment.
One of the first few (if any) games at the time that actually LEARNS how to fight-- and not just outproduce you (it's good at that too, but....).
I play this game for hours at a time.....
I gave this game a three as a "neutral" rating. I went to download Open TTD and found that I had to accept a toolbar I'm still trying to get rid of and a downloader that will track "non-identifying" information a la: 5.5 During the installation process, after user accepts the terms and conditions the installer will send non personal statistics as follows: iLivid installer and applications will track and send statistical information using the internet. The gathered data is for statistical purposes only. No personal user data is tracked. The gathered data includes but not limited to – Tracking computer unique identifier. Tracking the installation progress. Tracking browser toolbar was loaded or toolbar buttons clicked. Tracking application usage such as but not limited to application started, download started, download complete etc. In addition user may approve gather of private statistics. In such case the application and the toolbar will gather information of the video links used by the toolbar and the application. the information gathered in order to enhance support of non functional operations. That open source game is a BIG mistake! The toolbar already has a button for a $1,000 gift card from Wal-Mart! RIIIIIGHT!
