I didn't mean to paint it as a SC2, rather just wanted to say that I was glad to see another high-tech RTS with a rich, detailed universe. I do agree that the focus is more on the micro (once you can get it through your head that each "squad" is really a single unit), but I've found that base building does come into play. Strategically placed gun turrets or mine fields can play quite a part in the battle, as can a poorly positioned building. It really stinks to have someone take out your Orbital Relay when there are 5 pods ready for launch...
See you in Town,
