Well, where do i start? It's a 3D RTS that isn't just a birds-eye-vie in 3D. no, definitely not. Set in space, it's a great oppurtunity to implement 360-degree action. the 'maps' are basically spheres of accessible space, where you can travel up, down, left, right, anywhere you want to go. you can go 'higher', 'lower' in space and so on. There are two races in the game. only two, you say? well both are incredibly different, whilst still a close match between them exists. The actual concept itself is very simple. collect Resources in the form of asteroids, but the strategy concept is so fine, balanced and excitably reassuring that you'd be hard-pressed to find a game that is as spontaneous, yet sensible. Basically, everything is picture perfect, with a perfect picture. Graphical detail can be pushed to indescribable levels if you have the power, but otherwise it is still superior.
For example, Bomber squadrons - although small, are essential and in logical thinking, enough of them can take on anything. just one type of ship from lots of others is not effective on it's own.
can't be bothered to type anymore - some one else carry on for me?
Sweet!

there's loads out there. they are also absolutely perfect. can't remember where to get em though. seriously now, they really are fine pieces of work.
All fully 3-D, perfectly balanced and as beautiful as anything.

I want a Star Wars mod or something like it.
