...the biggest failure of this title as a military stategy game, is that you can basically tranport you ships across the galaxy in a small amount of time, if u have the right facilites built. That KILLS it. I becomes silly. No, Space Empires IV is by far the best 4X game, and it's still being worked on - the latest patch was just released.
