DESCRIPTION:
"Take yourself on a journey into deep space, where a ferocious battle has erupted. Join your comrades, by choosing your mothership and entering the deadly battle grounds..."

The idea for this came about when I played Battle Tanks (and enjoyed it very much). I noticed that Battleships was a variation of this, and i decided to make a further variation by send the battle to space. I'm using the traditional ideas, such as the modified 'pheonix fire' abilty attached to items to give the "auto-firing" effect. And I've managed to add in my own systems and features such as squads, which are smaller versions of ships that automaticaly fly around the Mothership and do minor Pheonix Fire damage.

Anyway, there isnt really much of a story, like Battle Tanks or Battleships. I've just taken models from stories like Star Wars, StarCraft and Star Trek, and put them into one map. Its quite a good concept for me, and im hoping it gets some sort of recognition on bnet.

I like it, but I also hope the project is less than 60% completed...

You shuld make it Star Wars OR Starcraft OR StarTrek OR you should make your own custom universe. The mix of all would be stupid. Fighter squads are great, i like them. But...jedi Starfighter with footman icon is a bit irritating :P I also like the crashed star destroyer, but asteroids are weird. A lot.

Make it at least a bit playable - add some creeps to kill etc. I just won't play this again to see a terrain and get killed by tower ;)

How would you even get to see a rabbit or a kobold in outer space?

I meant some 'creep ships' or 'creep fighters', just something to kill.

Looks cool. A definate for quick LAN games. I'll test it when I get the chance and give some proper feedback.
