#Lego rock raiders license

Though it sounds superficial, I've actually been trapped in missions when I constructed a power station, only to have it fail to provide power because the power pads were mysteriously not connected correctly. You'll have to lay down a power pad first, then your buildings, but the odd thing about the process is that you won't actually be able to specify the direction of your building in relation to the pad. Your units will automatically pick up ore and crystals and bring them back to the tool store, or use them to build a structure. Only certain walls are drillable, though as you gain skills and vehicles, you'll gain access to tools that will help you take on the denser walls in your way. Once you've transported your units to the surface, you'll need to immediately begin drilling walls. It takes out the micro-management, but adds a certain frustration factor, particularly when you're trying to get a unit to do something specific and it decides to disobey you completely. If you'd like a set of walls drilled, for instance, you simply select them, and someone will come and begin drilling. You actually don't control your units directly - rather, you give them suggestions, and hope that they'll actually go through with your commands. In fact, you quickly learn that even the units are unimportant, as you can always re-train them if necessary in a mission. Though you can name your trained raiders, you can't call them with a hotkey or a menu, which means that you'll be stuck clicking around until you find the one unit you're looking for. It'll help you find your important units, and on levels with limited oxygen, it will also help you avoid needless consumption. You've got an unlimited supply of rock raiders, but as you begin to train specific units, you'll want to keep the general foot traffic to a minimum. You begin every mission with a tool store that you can use to transport raiders to the surface, and construct power pads and the other buildings you'll need to beat a specific mission. But any of you hoping for a block-based Command & Conquer will be sorely dissapointed.

This is all about the building, which isn't that surprising, considering the license involved.

If you're looking for battles, you aren't going to find it here. Like most strategy games, the gameplay is mission based, which means that you'll be thrust into a variety of situations throughout your adventures, everything from rescuing a lost crew member to finding your base, which has been hidden behind fallen rubble. The only solution is to explore an alien world in search of the precious crystals that they need to get back home. This time around, they've entered into an asteroid field hiding a wormhole - sending them into a distant galaxy with a damaged ship. While their other LEGO cousins are busy living in big houses, driving in yachts, and taking rides on plastic trains while smelling polyurethane flowers, they're eternally struggling to exist, always looking for that next piece of ore, the bigger, better energy crystal.
