Starport: Galactic Empires -- looks like fun multiplayer asteroids galactic conquest game

The developer surrounds himself with yes-men and seems to lack the vision to exploit the potential built into the game so far.

The end-game is very two dimensional and bland. The corporation that can build and spam the most battleships with nuclear missiles, wins. Which happens to be the only way you can possibly take a fortified planet.

Did I mention that there is no way to dodge said missiles, as well as the most powerful primary weapon and ultra-velocity secondary torpedoes on these battleships?

If he took a hint from Infantry, or Cosmic Rift's Rogue Trader, then the game would possibly be good. As it stands, I cannot recommend it.




Oh, before I forget, it's also important for the most powerful corporation to bribe the system in order to get a massively large positive reputation. Why? Because then you cannot shoot them or attack their planets without getting a million negative rep. Which means that you cannot then get the best (free) ship which is lawful only. Actually there is no reason whatsoever to be unlawful. It has only drawbacks, though I forget the rest of them.
