Anyone have this game or heard about?  It looks to be a pretty sweet space RTS.

Can't say I have. ...got a link handy? If not, I'll just go search a bit - if you've got some stuff already that'd be good.

I have it  
It's a nice space RTS and it has 3 races... If it was moddable  we'd have a good template to turn it into an FS RTS.
But of course it isn't moddable (to my knowledge)  
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

   I've been thinking of getting the game recently, but I'm not sure I want to spend money on it.... I've got the demo, and it says all the tech of the Terrans is in the demo, I'm not sure I really want it...
   I'll be looking for it in stores when I go to the comp store tho

I haven't played either the game or the demo, but from the screenshot's I've seen it looks very like Star Trek: Armada. I think that game was a good concept with a bad execution. :-/

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

hahaha loool.. I bought the game at CompUSA, and played it some... It's kinda like StarCraft(3 races, each having own abilities...one race having "evolution", one race being expensive and powerful, and terrans, the one in the middle). It's also like StarTrek: Armada because of the way the ships moved.

I just think its kinda like an exact copy of StarCraft except its in space... I liked starcraft more anyway

You're right, it does look kinda like StarCraft. But I liked SC, and I haven't played a decent RTS for a while - I may get the demo (41mb - not too bad, how old/young is this game?) and judge it from there.
