Brief description (from the www page):
Each player is tele-operating a remote robot probe on some far
away planet. Their objective is to gain control of energy
generators on the remote planet by building robot drones which
can occupy the the energy generators, diverting the output to
the probe. The soil of the remote planet has been seeded with
nanotech machines which periodically produce simple devices
which can aid the players' conquests.
New this release:
Fixed MANY bugs - thanks to all those who helped out!
More nanotech devices:
Repair Patch, Repair System, Shields. These defensive
devices will help you survive a little longer! Also,
Speed Enhancement.
Drop implemented.
Stop implemented.
Shelved idea of `AI'. Maybe after 1.0.
