Hmmm... So-so. It comes across as a fluff review job to me. Also there are several factual errors in the related data. For example, it lists the game as "CO-OP" this is not so unless I have a different understanding of the term. It also states the game as being "4 players" this is not the case either unless I have a different version.

Yeah, that is not accurate.  10 players for anyone reading this.
I believe he is using the term 'CO-OP' to mean locked team human players against AI.

What is up with this learning curve assumption? It seems like every review tacks it on trying to find something bad about the game. When I popped into Beta 2 I was a little overwhelmed at first but that was mostly because I had a giant disorganized empire tree, the basic game mechanics made a lot of sense (rock paper scissors without being simplistic).

Another high-score review. I love it!  :CONGRAT: 

Funny that reviewers keep indicating the lack of heart in the game:
"Lack of a single-player story campaign". I really love all the brains and brawn though! But I'll be looking forward for that awesome campaign and cinematics that I know you guys will be able to pull through. ;)

You had the benefit of beta testing. Most players will take some time to get used to an unfamiliar gameplay. I know when I started to play some days ago, I had no idea what I was doing. :P

Is that a British thing? Co-op to me means, two guys playing one empire against either an AI or other human controlled empire or both for that matter.

i personally only use the empire tree for doin stuff with my fleet...
if u select it, the tree goes right to it, so it makes selecting a capship that leveled up really easy as well as making sure all warships in the well are in my fleet
