Greetings folks!
So I fired up a new game and I am really enjoying it. I am about 267 turns and in a very protracted war with the Drengin, Borg, and Krynn. All three DoW'd me and I am slowly able to keep my systems from being taken. The Ai is building ships to counter my ships. I prefer a beam/missile ship until I get to Huge then I make the 'tank/range' combo (escort/capital). The ai is fleeting up ships well and also I found I cannot simply take the techs I want in diplomacy as they are red to me. Well done!
The changes to module mass such as engines, sensors and life support are really making the game different. I can no longer stack 3 warp drives on a large frame without sacrificing something else. This makes ships more fragile, makes getting to the front take a lot longer. I really like it! No more super ships of doom..yet.
The game is stable and it definitely brings on the 'one more turn' feeling you get on a good 4x game.
Well done Stardock, Well done!
~Gauntlet, um I miss all your ships and parts. I did not want to tinker with XML yet and was wondering if you are going to update your most awesome mod?
