So let’s take a look at what Kixeye is bringing to the table. I played through a few days of constructing a base, flying space piracy sortes, and even made a few nice ships. The end game in VC is one of dog-eat-dog. As players expand their empire, seek out more resources, and build heavier fleets, they become bigger targets for retribution. This is only exemplified in that starbase construction includes defenses and fleets can be tasked with protecting the base against attack.

Like many MMORTS, VC eventually turns into a direct conflict with other players. Players are tasked between two separate parts of the game: one where a space station gets constructed that also mines the various needed elements in the game (from asteroids), and a second part where players launch battleships in order to pirate resources from NPCs–and eventually fight off other players. VC sits firmly in the hardcare casual genre of hurry-up-and-wait RTS.

It’s a Flash-based and may be using some HTML support the game runs in browser which gives it a casual play-almost-anywhere air (although the devs might want to look into increasing its compatibility.) As an RTS space game, it has all the trappings needed to give any SciFi geek a lot of nostalgia. The wide world of MMORTS is filling up with games that put players onto a battlefield, into a fantasy land, even a post apocalyptic world, VEGA Conflict from Kixeye puts MMO players in the unforgiving vacuum of space.
