Gratuitous Space Battles

Have you ever wanted to be in charge of an almighty space fleet and send it into huge completely gratuitous space battles? GSB gives you that opportunity. Players design their ships out of a vast range of components, arrange them into vast battlefleets, and give each ship orders-of-engagement and a position in the fleet, before fighting against AI or player-designed enemy fleets. GSB is all about planning, strategy and thinking. The actual battles are controlled by the AI, with the player biting their nails and hoping their ships will win the day. Because of it's hands-off battles, GSB is one of the rare true strategy games, as opposed to the 'tactical' games of reflexes that are more common in an RTS.
As well as it's sparkly graphics and hands-off approach to combat, GSB has an innovative 'massively singleplayer' style, where players upload 'challenges' containing their fleets for other players to beat. There is also a punishing 'survival' mode to the game where you fight against endless waves of enemies to beat the global survival high score.
