Gets pretty boring once you hit the Vegas
I guess a short while before I started playing, the Vega Destroyer was introduced and everybody got it because it’s really powerful for its class. Once you hit 600 rating it’s almost the only ship you fight for a long time. Until you get the Therion they’re really tough to beat, and even after it’s a long slow crawl to get out of the Vega zone. It’s a shame, because it’s just the kind of game I was waiting to see someone make, and it’s really well scaled and balanced in other respects. UPDATE: the devs are apparently working on the issue. Kudos to them for recognizing it’s an issue and responding to the comments here. On the other hand, at least the last 15 matches for me were all Vegas, so there’s some way to go.Show lessArtificial Intel
Destroyer Vega ruined the gameplay of a very fun, interactive game
The addition of the Destroyer Vega has ruined this game. I stared this game maybe 2 months ago and loved it. It was fun, interactive, competitive (to a level that was good for a free phone game) and was easy to play. Once I got to the levels where the Destroyer Vega became available, the tide completely changed. I can’t level up, I can’t complete the dailies, I can’t win any battles (even at higher levels than the Destroyer Vegas) and even if I spend Celestium currency to cycle to a different opponent, I get matched up with a Destroyer Vega 10+ times over until I finally give up and fight and lose. This ship should not be out performing ships at higher levels, every single time. It is so overpowered that even with the better ships as better tech, it destroys. There is a level of disparancy that is unfair to players who have chosen NOT to pay money to play and have chosen NOT to pay money for the ship. I’ve seen responses on here from the devs that they’re working on the problem and that it should be fixed. Let me tell you, it is NOT.Show lessLiladeans
Unfair
The match up for ships is highly flawed. So the most destructive weapons against armor is rockets yet ships armor can easily deflect or ignore the damage. Even when their shields are down. Yet they can use ballistic weapons which do less damage and some that are decent fire so slow it’s useless can defeat a ship with all rockets. I use a combo of ballistic and rockets to do heavy damage and take down ships yet their just ballistics can defeat me. Game is overall fun and decent but don’t expect to win because the combat system is flawed and really destroys the fun. I have currently lost 15 fights out of 20 with the same build that won 18 in a row.
Update: the match making process of who you fight is better. Also the amount of damage ballistics do is better but there is still some unevenness when it comes to rockets. I get they have lots of counters but when they connect I expect them to do more damage and to a larger area than the ballistics.Show lessTw33k3r2011
Fun game but...
The destroyer vega literally ruins the game. So for people who are thinking about downloading this game, know this. The game is really fun and competitive, with really no need to spend any money on the game. I did a few times because I really enjoyed playing... until you get to around lvl. 30. Then the game gives you an offer to buy the "Destroyer Vega" for 13$.. if you pass this offer up you won't be given another chance to buy it.. the destroyer vega is extremely over powered for its level. It is a lvl 30 ship that can easily overpower lvl 35 ships... so now that you are about lvl 28 you will only be put up against "destroyer vega" ships for the next 6-7 levels, who crush you, making you have to wait 30 mins between getting crushed again by another destroyer vega, and earning no cash or experience between battles... if this gets fixed I will continue playing but until then I'm stuck at this impassable destroyer vega plague that ruined the game!
UPDATE: hey guys! Sorry I was a little heated when I made this review (after losing to the vega many times in a row). Yes! I think the game seems to be matching up a lot better now! I think this problem is fixed and I would strongly recommend this game to anyone! Please add more cool ships and features soon:)Show lessBrian McDaniel 4753278@

We are aware of this situation and started to fix this issue. We changed "matchmaking" situation and would like to ask you did you see some changes? We will definitely check out the balance but if you will have any remarks, please contact us again. Thank you so much!Very fun game but...
My only problem with the game is that you always seem to go up against much stronger ships. I have a Hammerhead, Scythe and Valkyrie yet I feel lucky if I go up against something as weak as a Broadsword. It'd be nice if when you went into matchmaking and you found an opponent you could choose one of your ships to fight it rather than trying to guess at an all round universal build. Still, it's a good game and the waiting times aren't too long (albeit very often with the matchmaking)Show lessEXODU5

I started playing a few months back, and even decided I liked the game enough to make a purchase. Then, as a certain space movie was releasing the devs decided to capitalize on the hype by releasing some ships “heavily inspired” by a certain incredibly popular sci-fi franchise, for real money.
Now, I’ll ignore the IP violations and lawsuit your favorite mouse could likely hit this little studio with, and I can even ignore selling a little power for money and giving people who choose to make a purchase a small advantage over free players. Power sells, the devs need to eat. I get it.
But one of the ships released is so ungodly powerful it’s stupid. I’m talking it’s a waste to keep playing where I am in the ladder. If I get matched against a Destroyer Vega, I lose. I get 0 exp or currency, and a 20 minutes wait until I can hit the button to get randomly matched with another Destroyer Vega. I can’t complete the dailies, I can’t even get another level to reach the next ship. So, you can’t get the free shop currency at a decent rate, can’t level, and can’t progress unless you’re willing to shell out the cash to progress, and likely the next ship up won’t solve the problem anyways. So, you do what you have left. You delete the game, leave a long winded not good review, and kiss the game goodbye.Show lessAdmiralOrko

Hello! We are really sorry that you dislike our app but we can understand you. We are aware of this situation with Destroyer Vega and started to fix this issue. We changed "matchmaking" situation and will definitely check out the balance. But still thank you so much for your remarks!Overall Pretty Good
Designing different combinations of modules is pretty fun. It would be even better if the auto zoom out on the ship building screen could be disabled.
The new pay to win “Destroyer Vega” ship is a bit annoying to be paired up against though.M3CHO

I noticed the devs responding to reviews so I decided to write some feedback based on what I’ve experienced.
Because the game is based on rank rather than ship/weapon level you technically get punished for playing too much by getting taken to a high rank before you have enough money to match the level of ships you’re facing. In my case I have no ships past the corvette level and every enemy I get pitted against is using a frigate. I have no way of getting cash but hoping that my ship focuses the same area enough to break a piece of the enemy to give me a fraction of the victory money. I now am forced to wait for handouts from dailies or the shop in order to scrape by. I do like the ship customization and the strategy and thought that goes into it and even by just allowing your rank to go down when you fail an attack could fix my problems.Show lessJoe D. Johnson
Disappointed
I was enjoying this game.
I found the earn point through other apps section and just spent the last 3 weeks playing “Lords Mobile” to get the castle to level 12 so I could earn around 1400 points to spend and I just had a look in the app to find the lords ‘task’ has vanished... I’m about to upgrade the castle to level 12 despite not even enjoying lords. I’m abit devastated and I’m giving you a bad review and deleting your app. Sort your programming out.Show lessMixedrink

We're very sorry for this issue but unfortunately it occurs because of the fault of the provider of that offerwall - Fyber. Please, contact their support team, we hope that they will help you.Great Idea
Reminds me a lot of the game call SPAZ (Space Pirates and Zombies). The developer has done a great job overall it is an immersive game but a little grinds later on. Some suggestions:
- Add a daily spin wheel or something similar
- Add a separate daily login prize calendar which runs over 30 days, this will keep people logging in.
-Add a battle simulator that doesn’t destroy your ships so players can test their builds before battling
- Perhaps add some power ups or skills that players can slot onto certain modules or the ship as a whole. These skills could be pressed during battle, perhaps 3 second invulnerability for the example.
- Add gems or crystals that you can slot into modules that have passive attributes. The gems could come from cash shop... they could also be combined to make higher ranks
- Add pilots that have attributes.
-Add a scrap value for old ships being replaced by new ones.
-introduce tournaments that cost credits or cash currency to enter
These are only suggestions, Thank you for making a great game.
