old 90s flight ship/mountain/earth game [Stratosphere]

I had an old game where I had a something like a ship that flout above some terrain and I could build on top of it a military city...some reactors, lasers, guns, spikes, propulsion equipment...

One of it's particularities was that when an enemy was destroyed the remaining could be attracted by the gravity of my ship making it grow, that way I had more space to build...

Does any one remembers this game?

Battlezone? Hard to understand the description. ;/

Sounds like that battling flying islands game, what was it called?

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of, thanks for coming up with the name. We'll see...

A bit off-topic, but I've been thinking lately that the phrase "old game" (and even "old nineties game") is becoming increasingly non-descriptive (and therefore unhelpful). Maybe we could add a small "read before you post" section with hints about what information is relevant for the search of the game, and how to phrase it (e.g. the year the game was played, the genre(s), perspective, goals, enemies etc. etc., maybe presented in the form of a list or a small questionnaire)?

I wish the thread titles weren't so undescriptive. It's a nightmare finding a possible and remembering someone asking about it, and looking for their post. Got to check every "plz help find old game!" thread. ;/

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck; a score on the long shot!

I have to get around to playing that game one of these days, at least just for the novelty.
