"Hopefully players of the game can attest that generally speaking, the game's pretty solid" - Frogboy I agree with that statement. The game works well on my machine,and it gets better with every update.

^Haha, yeah, I love getting revenge on the AI. You can't say that about many games.
Yeah, there's that, but I'm hoping since "quasi-hotseat" is basically already there that development time on that type of mp would be signifigantly shorter. Like you say, if it's a choice between a metric shit-ton of single player content and multiplayer, I'd have to go with the single player content. I'd like multiplayer, but not to the point of missing out on more great single player content.
Yeah, if it's between the ship designer and mp, I'll take the ship designer every time.
A full fledged hotseat or network hotseat would be sweet. Some of you guys should really stop tearing down ideas that you don't like. If you wouldn't play mp, fine. If you don't like tactical combat, great. Some people do, and every time a thread comes up about one of those topics it's fills up with negative responses like NEVER.
I'm new to the series. I'd never heard of the first one, or the MOO series, either.
Yeah, I've been waiting for a TBS game this good for literally years. The game that got me into PC gaming in the first place was the original X-Com. TBS has never died. There just weren't any great TBS games to play, and I say that having tried most of them that were released. There have been a few decent ones, but nothing that could bring new players to the genre like this game has and will continue to do.
You can't yet. It's a feature that will be added to the Metaverse, I think, sometime later. Nice job on the robots! I've thought about it, but I haven't actually tried it yet. The ship designer is truly one of the coolest features I've ever seen in a game.
Yeah, I know how you feel. I've been laying in bed at night and sitting at work during the day thinking about what tweaks to make to my custom race, what techs to research first, what adjustments to make to my build order, how I want the ships to look, you get the idea. I haven't been this into a game for a long time, especially a single player game. The only thing I would change would be to add optional tactical combat, but that's just me. I can see why some people wouldn't want it.<
There's a Miner Race? Is that some sort of pick-axe mini-game? *rimshot* Yeah, lame joke, I know.
Yeah, the game will support any resolution your monitor is capable of. LoL, beat by seconds.
