I will point the OP to the fact it's a STRATEGY not TACTICAL game. You are right, Astax. I actually thought, it would be a nice addition, but it's definitely not a must-have. Maybe something to consider in an add-on. Even if the tactical-component is restricted to "redirect all power to engines"
You got a point, Pnakotus. In "real life space combat" (if there actually was such a thing) there may be not much tactics involved except for manouvering. But look at all those star wars and star trek war scenes with all its asteroids and nebulae... It's a science fiction game after all, isn't it?

Would be an awesome feature to include in future p
Hi there, Just wondering if it is possible to determine a quality of surface-tiles of a planet before colonizing it. So you could skip the no-bonus-ones and rush for the often overlooked class Regards, Headhunter

I hate to read passages of text more than once to understand every bit. Call me lazy Got the german premium package today, but quickly downloaded the english version. Simply to avoid is
