From someone who likes both MOO3 and GalCiv

I've been playing the various betas of GalCiv for months now and greatly enjoy the game. I've been playing MOO3 since it came out and greatly enjoy it as well. I simply want to say that the excellence of GalCiv is, IMHO, completely independent of whether one likes/hates/doesn't have MOO3. They are different gaming experiences and each should be evaluated on its own merits.
Incidentally, let me go on record as saying that I take NO credit for GalCiv's excellence. A bunch of other folk tested the heck out of the game and had major input; thanks a bunch. I'm just one of those who kept playing -- and generally enjoying -- each and every beta version.
Those of you who are waiting and haven't played it yet ... I suggest you review the posts and the encyclopedia to get familiar with what the game is and what it isn't. I'm in fear of posts which will say, "GalCiv sux cuz no tactical combat and no ship design" or some similar nonsense.
I think this game delivers on what it has promised, and even in the midst of creating an all-powerful MOO3 empire against the latest AI mod, I take a break to continue my holy crusade against the evil Drengins.
