Let me start off with complementing Digital Reality with some awesome work in a field of gaming that has been done to death and back, give yourselves a pat on the back and get some beer > :)
The grafics engine used in this game is amazing you guys outdid yourselves there. The music rises above any game to date that I have played and I have played alot =).
There are some downfalls though a few things that are keeping the game from being perfect. The games AI is horrid from what I have seen in the demo. You have advertised how great it is on the site. My personal opinion is most other games AI's are equal if not better in comparison.
Another thing is earthlings and martians uhh no offence guys but it sounds like a fifties horror flick =P. terrans (earth is terra) and the colonists would have been better (and those still are over used) but I'm sure a little more time could have been put into the names.
The closeness of the planets is a small problem too while it adds to the game tactically I think spacing them out just a little more (not realistically) and making them a bit larger would be better after all if you follow the orbits marse will crash into earths moon, and saturn into Uranus' moon. thats a bit too close =(
The build interface needs to be a bit more intuitive. I may be dumb but it too me about an hour to figure out that it was TITANIA that could build me stuff and not titan I know it said that in the message from HQ but it was an easy slip.
maybe putting a build button there with all the planets listed and what each planet is working on underneath.
Research is great I like except I CAN'T QUEUE researches =P I have to constantly return to that menu to pick out something else to research.
Rant over > :)
but honestly guys this game has the potential to kill all other RTS games out there hands down > :) I can't wait to get into inter-system battles!!!
