Pros and cons of Starside Arena app for iPhone and iPad

Starside Arena app good for

This game has alot of potential just keep the updates coming (suggestions) more guns more ships per class less wait time for battle for the whole fleet battle it would be cool if you could see the fights but other than that its a really good game !
Quite amusing and a good way to spend a few minutes so everything an app is supposed to be
Still hate in app purchases, but this is an exceptionally fun spaceship game.
This game does a great adaptation of taking the typical rock/papers/scissors combat game and makes takes several different dynamics so you could cut through an opponent a couple levels above you, or have a long exciting battle, and your not sure who will take the W. Great job by the game designers!
Dude i was looking for a game like this which allowed you to design/build your ship... Though of course not exactly i wanted... It was the closest i got.... Please give game a shot.... I love it very much

Some bad moments

Interesting strategic ship building core. New players might not latch onto fun part of game and miss out. Find new opponent should be cheap coin price not premium currency. Matchmaking rank should be per player per ship: there is no point being forced to fight a Hammerhead with a Raven. Game appears to use a ratcheting system for matchmaking which means your ships become obsolete, this is to make you spend money to keep up. -1 star just for that. Fleet Arena should use its own currency earned by payouts from normal play: You need coins for new ships. Missing component size for new tech is an egregious omission that sees you buy expensive tech only to learn it wont fit on any of your ships. Design should accelerate player into a biggish class sooner such as a Warrior. The early ships dont have room to be creative. It would add a lot to be able to rotate 2x1 & 3x2 items clockwise to fit. Or simply provide unlocks for Minelayers and Repair bays that are merely rotated versions. Repair bays should not repair themselves -- that is lame. Its not unusual for a situation to develop where a ship is repairing faster than it can be damaged, this leads to foregone endings which are not exciting to watch. Game needs cross-session objectives with payouts --eg Repair 10,000 damage: payout 10celestium Game needs per session bonus Goals that encourage rebuilds: eg Deal 300 damage with lasers TODAY: payout free instant ship repair. When you complete the goal you get a new one immediately. Overall nice concept, needs design tune up for meta/long game Nov 2015: 3 stars, could easily be higher with adjustments Dec 2015: 2 stars, ratchet matchmaking kinda wrecks the enjoyment of the game after a couple weeks effort. Needs adjusting Jan 2016: 2 stars. No apparent changes to this game yet. -DemoEvolved
Amazing game. Needs more functionality like selling your ships. Also needs chat.
Super fun fast game, love the customization. Really want to see more.
Having a lot fun with this. Currently my favorite thing on the phone. Sure theres room for improvement but the concept is so refreshingly different that I cant give it anything less than 5 stars.
Enjoying the game a lot. Scratches that spaceship design and build itch pretty well. Would like to possibly see opponents builds to get ideas from? Would like to see fleet mode actually play out and not just show ships lost like you are playing bingo or something.
The task in this game is designing ships within constraints, then watching how they fare in combat. Hope the next version enables some control of tactics too.
