Game Creation with the Player In Mind

Looking for the old results?
I am programming a computer game that has been in the works for over 3 years. I need some feedback. My game is a combination of a Real-Time-Strategy (RTS) with Role-Playing-Game (RPG) style leveling. It is futuristic and space-based. Everything is based on scientific anomalies. I added some comedic elements to this poll just to break up monotony. Thanks in advance...
