A strategic management game, best described as a sci-fi tower defence game with moving spaceships and configurable units.

Latest News: Parasites Expansion Pack Released

If you catch them at the wrong time the parasites are a race to be reckoned with. Every 200 years or so they travel the galaxy looking for new hosts, and we're not suggesting that this is a race that excels at making people feel welcome at parties. The hosts they are looking for will provide the much more vital role of keeping the parasites' immature larvae alive and prospering.
The parasites always go too far, they never did get the idea of mutualism and they never have pets (for long). So now they are venturing forth from their adopted home planet and in search of a cognate species which breeds freely and is able to give birth at least once per year, with a good growth rate and preferably (although a bit of crunch is acceptable) without an exoskeleton.They have had 198 years to upgrade their battle fleet in between breeding and snacking and now want to change the menu. Mmm how tasty are you?

At first I really liked this game... especially for the price I payed. Then it started to feel really monotonous and excessively difficult to a point where I felt like throwing something out a window. Even though you can set a lot of peramiters on how the AI behaves, the AI is still pretty stupid. You can't intervene AT ALL and have to just sit back and watch the battles, which is the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. It wouldn't be so bad if the AI wasn't so stupid, but still I want to…

looks great!
****! no linux demo.
yes, linux demo needed, doesnt make sense for me to buy, unless I know I can get it to work on my crappy system ,)
Can anybody upload star wars mod download link in moddb here?
because mediafire and 2shared is blocked and i have problems with gamefront
Nice game, all the DLCs seem to work on Linux as well. Just need a trick first though, got to convert all the BMP and DDS files to JPEG and PNG (this also helps witht he white screen bug).**
There are still some issues like using registration code to play the campaign in some cases. Other than that the game is fine.
Is there a way to know which version Desura provides? The latest should be 1.60.
So I bought the game from GSB's official website, but I can't get a shortcut here for the mods. Help, please?
I immediately got an segmentation fault, when I run it under linux after the splash screen is shown :-(
check the Positech forums, there is a linux support section and a topic dealing about this.
Any news on DLC?
For the DLC, I made a script to install them in Linux (no Windows nor Wine needed). You can find it on the Positech forum.
