I gave it a 7, which for an Alpha build, is really good I think. It has room for improvement, and I hope they take advantage of the great opportunity to make this game the best.

6/10

Ignoring that is is alpha, as requested by the OP. 6/10 is excellent for an Alpha, though. However, it clearly lacks features and variability atm. It feels a bit "dead". However, the potential for a 9 or a 10 is clearly there.

I give it 7. It loses 2 points for.....

1 - In it's attempt to make the UI funky, it has succeeded in making it about as friendly as a shark with a machine gun.

2 - Only available on steam.

I'm also going to have to give this game an 8, even this early in development. The visuals are just beautiful, and that UI <3

Nitpicking here: I would like to have an indicator of sorts on the galactic screen showing unused movement on ships though (without having to select each fleet individually).

I'm giving it just a 7 for now since it is still unpolished but I have no doubts that it will be atleast 9 when it is out of alpha (and beta).

I rated the game a 5, and I do keep in mind the game is at the alpha stage. It is difficult to say how the game will turn out, so cannot give it a higher number until I can see what forward momentum there is. I haven't been around long enough to know how responsive the development team is to the needs and wants of the gamers.

Seems like I'm in the rather sizeable 8 camp.

Honestly I'm really loving the game so far and as I've said before, for an alpha it's in great shape. Some added depth to several areas of the game (combat, exploration, technology, balance tweaks etc.) and I could honestly say I would give this game a perfect 10 on release

7, wich for an alpha is very very very very good.

If the game was released tomorrow, it would be a good little game. If the team continue this good job, it will be a little diamond at release.

Currently around 6.

Its still in alpha, but as far the game looks, it doesnt have enough depth, especially in the research/ship design area.

Also noteable: galaxies even on huge settings are way too small. You encounter and break out in fights with other races way before you have a chance to research the necessary diplomatic options.

Etc etc etc

I'm with Ramireus, it has a lot of potential and I think we all can agree that we'd been waiting for something like this for quite some time - now it needs to be properly refined, polished, some additional elements need to be added in (as per some incredible, imho, suggestions) and it will be glorious. Right now it's a 6 from me as well, which in my parlance is - slightly above average, can see myself playing for a fortnight or so and move on to the next title.

I rated 6 for now. Actually in all honestly I think the game is fantastic considering it's potential, and I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly whenever I've played so far. But there are a number of minor issues that kind of pile up, with the main overall problem being a lack of depth.

My heart sunk a little at how incredibly easy it was to unlock the techs needed to colonize and terraform hostile planets, and the tech tree could use some love as has been pointed out in this thread already. I like the current races/factions, but I don't like to play as any of them since none of them appeal to me at all, so I'd like to see some more.

My main gripe is that one of the four major X-es - eXploration - seems to be way underdone and even ignored, with literally nothing interesting to find in the galaxy once you've discovered a handful of systems and become familiar with the basic planet types. Unique planets, interesting space phenomena, random events related to the exploration of galaxies or systems or planets, random loot floating around in the form of old derelict ships, I could list ideas all day. I think a lot of 4x games suffer from the same problem here, so I don't fault ES alone for this, but I think they have a real opportunity to try to provide an in-game answer to the question: "Why should I bother exploring this map?"

In spite of everything I've just said though, I want to reiterate that the game is great, and I do have faith in it's potential and in the team that created it. I think as the development cycle goes on my score will go up. To 10? Maybe.

Since the game is in alpha and feels amazing polished I'm giving it an 8. Although as it moves on to the beta this number should hopefully rise. There are a few things that I would like added to the game, but that's a separate issue.

Fingers crossed this game will turn out fantastic.

Good first impression...

My suggestions:

- The tech needs improvment and must be polished. Tune it like Moo2 with extra screen and dialouge. rearange the techs... its far to easy, for example the colonisation techs.

- Shipdesign needs to be overhauled.

- more scale... even the huge maps are too small

- more spoken words please. its far to quiet ( because of alpha ? i dont know. )

- videosequences for special events. this makes atmosphere... (p.e. colonisation of planets etc. )

More will follow when i get deeper into the game, but stick on guys... great work !!!

I gave it an 8. For an Alpha its just amazing.

I played 50 hours in 4 days (thanks to the week-end) and I really had the feeling to play any release version. Of course I am very unhappy about many things that I believe this game should have to be the next 4X reference, but fact is as it is it simply entertained me with no real frustration or really really annoying stuff. Let's hope the 8 will soon perform a 90° rotation so this game will be truly endless.

7/10 Fantastic game overall, especially for alpha, but needs to be shaped a little further and deeper for it to be a blowaway game at release:

-1 for the galaxy being pretty small, even at bigger settings

-1 for diplomatic options being fairly limited and the AI being almost impossible to negotiate with

-1 for general niggles like a lack of random events (almost a prerequisite of strategy games now), the galaxy (though beautiful) being pretty static and lifeless and I'd like the combat to be expanded a little.

On a personal note I read someone suggesting something about a combat simulator in ship design to test your design against known AI ships. That would be great.

+10 for being an awesome game with the right mood

-2 for not having enough depth in military research and combat (need more cards and more interaction!)

-1 for issues with fleet movement (can not flee from battle, can not intercept enemy fleet) and sound stuttering
