Executive Assault 2

The RTS/FPS phenomenon has moved into space! Build your base on an asteroid, command fleets of starships for epic battles, pilot fighters, mine and trade resources, assemble robots to defend or assault other stations. Take sole command or share the glory as you fight for control of the quadrant.

After conducting a poll I have seen that people mostly want me to work on upgrading the first-person aspect of the game adding in features that you would expect in a modern day shooter rather than adding in all the new spy tech. I would also like to congratulate one of our customers Glenn for winning the map competition on Discord who not only won $50 but also had his map added to the pre-set map list, well done, we will certainly be doing that again in the future. Thanks again for all the help. Cheers, Rob
