PLANET FLEET

Backstory

In the year 3000, the three superpowers - America Inc., the European Republic, and the Asian Co-prosperity Sphere - have emerged from the trials of global resource shortages, chiefly water, and are now engaged in an arms race for survival. Realizing the futility of nuclear war at home, the superpowers have chosen to seek resources on other planets. Expecting to be challenged elsewhere in space, the costly space expeditions are now being bolstered with armed force. Vying over the same resources, You must prevail over your foes on the battlefield and ensure the prosperity of your side.

Gameplay

Futuristic sci-fi naval RTS, set on water planets, being fought over by the Earth's superpowers. The arsenals of the warring factions include various ships: cruisers, submarines, even special ships, such as freezer vessels. Moreover, land units, such as mechs, tanks and mobile artillery platforms are used. Additional game mechanics include:
- economics: players collect raw materials from finite deposits on the map to refine them into resources, needed for building and unit creation and maintenance. Resources may also be traded on the market, that reacts to the player's success in battle.
- research: certain buildings allow the player to research technologies for benefits, such as stronger units. Higher end technologies get more expensive, forcing the player to make the best choices for their situation.
