I think I disagree. I mean, you're absolutely correct that certain techs along the tree tend to upgrade fairly quickly, but I've made a conscious decision to wait for specific combinaion of techs before upgrading my ships. It does't makde sense to upgrade every time you've improved a tech, only when the chance allows you to, for example, increase speed, or firepower, defense, or combination thereof. Otherwise, you're right, it would be a waste of mo

I placed my order on the 7th of this month. My order says it won't ship until the 27th. I'm curious if everyone from Amazon is in the same boat, or if any are shipped/about to ship? Plus, I want to make sure they haven't run out of the special edition boxes.

I have to say I'm disappointed that stardock is charging $45 for the CD (plus more for shipping/handling), when I can order the game from Amazon for only $39 (including shipping). It's all the more mind boggling when Amazon get's a cut of that $39, meaning less reaches stardock!!! I would love to have purchased directly from stardock, but paying $15 more after all is said and done strikes me as lunacy. I'm wagging my finger of shame to you, brad, for this oversight. Otherwise, can't wait. l
