Merchants of Space: Galactic Outpost Strategy for Android
1. no way to reorganize buildings unless you've spent god aweful amount of time clearing asteroid fields. least other apps offer a means to do so without time, in game currency or special items. 2. one of my pubs no longer generates income since i upgraded it to lvl 5
This game has great potential. Once the multitude of bugs are ironed out. It would benefit from joint events where players can join up to achieve large goals. Also. Let us choose a side. Federation or whatever. Then introduce competitive events between the sides. This would aid in longevity for the game. Clearing the asteroids to expand is also crazy expensive.
The tutorial for the galactic market is broken. It allowed me to build it and create a sell order, but now I can't claim the money and clear that tile because the tutorial message is covering the screen asking me to create a sell order in that tile. Which I can't do, because it is blocked by an order I apparently wasn't supposed to create. Now the game is stuck and unplayable. I can't even figure out how to reset and start over. What I did play was fun. Hope it doesn't break for you.
Interesting Game...Unfortunately the higher you get the more you need those pesky pay-for crystals to get anything accomplished in a timely manner. Clearing real estate also becomes VERY expensive as you level up. I will be re-evaluating my experience when I hit lvl 30 or so. So far it's enjoyable.
Played for over a month. Got a new phone. There is no way to transfer or save data. This is not a quick build game. You spend hours gathering, collecting, and selling (which is fun if you don't lose all your progress)
Do something about the cheaters. You only have to look at the leader boards to see them. It would be nice to be able to make requests in the market. So for example I can say I need something and I'm willing to pay a certain amount and someone else can provide it.
First of all, it's way too expensive to begin with. You really can't play for free. It would be too slow and disjointed. I could almost live with it, but they also don't pay the crystals and items you have earned. Items you have earned disappear. Otherwise I would like this game.
So, this is a pretty fun game. My main problem is it hasn't been updated in almost a year. That makes me very nervous about playing or paying. I would hate to spend a lot of time, just to have the game go away.
Was working for a long tine but it keeps crashing now, saying the app has stopped working. I tried reinstalling but no luck, I even tried rebooting the tablet. I am using the Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet.
Reminds me of sins of a solar empire. If you work on music variation and a bit more on maybe starship battles to conolize planets and gain resources, you gain 5 stars easily. Keep up your good work.
I really do like the concept of managing your empire in space. I am quite far in the game (level 36) but I have a problem : i cant sell my objects to get my reward of 336 stars. the game just crashes.
It's annoying having to have parts you can't build to expand further out. That idea has caused other games to fail. It can cause this one to fail. This game is about construction of a trade empire. A idea to pay for something to expand causes people to walk away from the game. I will give it a week. If it doesn't appear that I've gotten anywhere. The rating will drop to one star. And the review will reflect on it. I will give it longer time if I see changes.
If the game didn't allow hackers to rule, it would have potential. But a cursory look at the leader boards tell you how rampant hacking is, making any personal effort meaningless.
I love this game. It is so entertaining, although suffers minor bugs such as being unable to connect to the server sometimes and freezing when refusing to use crystals (gems) and waiting for the task to finish. All that said, great game but could do with some improvements!
Game play may get better but the tutorial is way to long. Two mintues in to a forced tutorial and still no end in sight. Took a total of 5 min to start playing a very not complicated game. Honestly uninstalled it right after the game started because like every other pay to play it just changes the skin on a old product but tries to draw you in to pay.
Love this game! Love the concept of running your own little colony/station. It's confusing at first when you keep collecting/making stuff and run out of storage, which then gets you thinking and planning. Great management game.
Not a bad game but don't play without wifi. Will kill your data. 400 mb 3 days into new month and used 4 mb in like 2 minutes.
Just like others build productivity games, only this skin is outpost. As always will get stuck expanding storage area without real money
Says to tap miner, tapping away at it does nothing. Stuck 5 seconds in on the tutorial. Restarted game fixed nothing however uninstalling it solved all issues. No game no worries.
Nice production style game where you build your base and resources in order to trade and make money. No pvp, so no risk to losing it all to other players!
I WILL CHANGE TO 5 STARS AFTER THE CRASHING WILL BE REMOVED! When I use support center and must buy ships that are made in Battle cruiser factory with crystonium before selling them, when I press sell button game crashes.
Broken game. The main currency is basically useless, you end up being gated by "rare items" that you can buy for real money or by grinding forever, and that take space in your wharehouses. To my knowledge, there is no way to get rid of useless rare items, so you can end up in a situation where you can't play anymore due to a full wharehouse. So yeah: broken game
When all the other games are blow up your friends, it's nice just to sit down sometimes with just a sell concept game where you don't have to keep rebuilding troops and ships.
Great game, but save bugs cause too much lost progress. Game does not always save when exiting and without a manual save button, there is no way to know when you will lose all your progress.
Nope, connected and it did not restore my game in progress.
I am very fussy player. This is really nice relaxing strategy with good graphic and great fiting music. Good job guys. Five from me;) Keep programming this way.
But it is down, no communication with the server, and no communication from the dev about maintenance and timelines. COMMUNICATE!!! Then the resources to upgrade buildings take the same space as half finished and finished products, that needs to change, either as part of the space station or a separate unit with a base storage in the station. And then, bugfixing is also a weak point. Essentially the game is alpha release and asking for money is too soon. Regardless, the bad support and bad communication warrants asking for refunds if you paid with a CC. And now TALK to your CUSTOMERS.
Market is pointless sometimes cause I can't buy anything due to lvl restrictions but it's kinda randomly generated guessing cause it's always a mix of high lvl and low lvl people
It's really good for what it is. Wish when wanting to buy an item you could just search for it but eh that's fine... And then I find out I can't have an alliance with the bad guys only the federation? Like then I have absolutely no reason to tell to the bad faction. Make it so you can align with one or the other.
Its a really good game, but the launcher is unstable. Every time it starts up after I close it, it freezes and crashes to force me into reopening it two to three more times so far. Update 06/24/2016: score remains the same. Got a better phone, launcher still same unstable trash it was before.
Good game in terms of resource management but unbelievable amount of cheaters. The leaderboards are held by people that use hacks to increase their score so they can get the much needed speed up crystals. You could spend days trying to get a score of 5000 and someone will come up on the last day and have a score of 50000 even though their name was not anywhere on the board days prior. Frustrating and trivalizes your hard work. The update on April 8 said they caught some cheaters but trust me the game is still rampant with these cheaters. Explains why only 10k downloads. Find these hacks and maybe you might get more interest in the game.
The game is rather decent but a bug frequently occurs. The bug being the screen will constantly show a super magnified version of the space ship and it'll just block your entire screen. I thought maybe once a while is fine but I've noticed whenever it happens, it'll be like a constant loop until I close the game and relaunch it, really very irritating to constantly have to do this. Please fix this
Its fun which gets it 4 stars but the waiting is a little insane. Its a nice give and take with the option to watch the adds to speed up the process rather than forcing them in your face.
This is a good concept and is executed well only downside is that it feels like it's a bit heavy on microtransactions as you need to spend crystals or get login bonuses to get the materials to remove asteroid fields
Seems like a great game. One thing I really dont like is I cant move a building without it touching another building. Which makes rearranging your base very difficult early game, before you clear out astroid fields. And so far I havnt been recieved any of the materials needed to do so. Lots of acheivements and I have recieved a fair amount of the 'premium' currency in just a couple days.
Nice game to kill time... Only one problem... I done 25 mission on BFTS-7 and i never got items for finish it. It show as i got item but it's not in my storage! Fix it an i give you 5 stars
Lowering my review. The cost to clear asteroids increases drastically, at this point I need 39 parts or 390 (!!!) real money currency to clear a single asteroid field. This wall inhibits any progress.
Rewards higher activity without penalizing large gaps in attendance. Gives user choice of when to watch ads with a reward for doing so which i think is the most proper way to monetize a free to play app.
I just wish I knew what the hell a camp score was and where I could check mine? Keep running into can't upgrade because my camp score isn't high enough, but there's nowhere to check your camp score or any guidance on how to raise it if you could. WTF?

I would play this game again and again. If you are a fan of command and conquer without the war, then this game is right up your alley. Dive in and have fun. If you are having an issue with the tutorial, then delete the app and reinstall it. The glitch is the cache on the app itself trying to load your previous account record.
