Chronostation

Game needs a ‘place multiple units’ hotkey (this genre generally means holding down shift key).

Needs a way to auto-select tower priority (it’s very irritating to place an outpost, then edit the tower targeting, then place an outpost, change tower targeting, etc). Same for placing the individual towers.

Auto-rebuild option for the fleets would be nice, or at least a ‘queue all’ or ‘select all’.

I enjoy upgrading the ‘towers’, which is persistent across games, but it’s a bit repetitive at this point - start game, build a bunch of generators and storage, let the base blow up, invest in upgrading towers, repeat. You want to use a lot of outposts. Everything else pretty much requires that as the ‘base’. since the actual Base has a limited number of slots for buildings it can support (four buildings baseline, 8 when fully researched). The outpost also can be researched to increase your resource cap, generate resources, generate energy, and start with defensive guns, so it covers pretty much everything you need for farming upgrades.The ‘power node’ will also let you expand, but doesn’t have built-in defenses, doesn’t increase your resource cap, and doesn’t generate resources or energy. and has to be placed within an existing sphere of influence. It technically has one more control point than the outpost, but unlike the outpost, another power node consumes a previous control point slot so that’s more or less a wash. It is, at least, more compact than the outpost.

I just played this game for 9 hours straight. It is a fun tower defense space game.

As you play it it becomes clear it’s a work in progress. It’s just one big level and the story is when you get blown up you retain the earned knowledge of your level or something and you can use resource points to level up your weapons. That’s cool, I think it took me about an hour to discover the research page cause I just kept restarting.

The good:

It’s got the right mix for tower defense: simple but varied. The level has random asteroid placement so it has a replay factor
