    I played this RTS game online with a friend many years ago. It must've been a good game because I still think about it from time to time but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

    I'm just going to list off what I remember from it:

    • I believe its a mid/late-90's era PC game
    • The game is played in a 2D side perspective (think R-Type), it takes place entirely in space
    • When the game starts, you control a mothership
    • There are 4 races, each with unique colour (red, blue, green and yellow i think). Aside from slight aesthetic differences, they function the same
    • The mothership had a 'drone' that would automatically fly out of it and retrieve nearby minerals that matched your race's colour
    • The mothership spent minerals on buildings, which produced units like fighters and carriers (typical RTS tech tree stuff)
    • One of the buildings was an 'academy'. If your units sat beside it for long enough they would level up.
    • I believe it was a multiplayer-only game
    • You would have to send your mothership farther and farther away from your base to find more minerals which created a risk/reward scenario

    This is all I can remember for now.

    If you know the name of this game please let me know!

    Thanks.
