I have played BotE for a bit and i have to say that i am impressed. while i possess no talent whatsoever for development i will try to provide some feedback on the gameplay.
starters: i really like the resource management system that you have set up. it's refreshing to see developers make it so that people not only have to manage the amounts of resources they possess but they also have to manage the locations of those resources.
perhaps give starships to the other races so that it would be possible to fight a space combat? unless you're still developing that.
that's all for now. just got home from work and now i gotta run off to eat.
Keep up the good work!
PS to the music guy? don't worry about what the masses want. if it sounds good to you then i'm certain it will be fine.
