    Mazz have you played Star Ruler

    Yup.

    I had issues with it. Didn't draw me in. Stardrive so far is a more fun game.

    Man.

    I gave it 6 hours. That is a lot for a game that didn't hook me.

    No I mean, I had issues with both Star Ruler and Endless Space and now I might look into this game despite my bad track record with 4X's.

    On my scale of 4x with MoO2 being the top and well there are many bodies at the bottom I would put it around Galactic Civ 2. Which is good. I have like 80 hours or more in that game. Not up to MoO2 but above Birth of the Federation which has a lot of nostalgia for me.

    Really if you want a cheap 4x get MoO and MoO2 off of gog and play those. They are classic and fun.

    Are you sure it isn't the pain, Mazzyx?

    For me it's the association with pain

    That's weird. It's totally not sexual to me. I've never bitten my very limited number of tumble partners at all. Only my friends!

    Weeeeeird. It's like a super intimate thing to do from my perspective.

    Same here. I've never bitten anyone except intimate partners. My ex loved it.

    Pain ain't good but I have a huge pain tolerance. Infection and bite marks though? Yuck.

    Yes and I'm not! When my last guy broke up with me I said "ok, I respect your decision" and never contacted him again.

    Would a crazy girl do that? I don't think so.

    And being real time.

    Which is still bleh to me. But thanks to the speed controls, the fact it is actually a turn based system(5 seconds) so they are more like auto turns and they you can pause and do everything while paused I will live.

    Also combat gets awesome.

    I remember there being some issues with Star Drive but I didn't read the articles about them so I don't know what they are and I'll have to go back and read them first.

    I vaguely remember some...neckbeardy design decisions.

    Crazy comes in different forms. How can we be sure your not just setting up an elaborate honey trap for the next guy before you bite him too?

    Main issues I am aware of is the macro management is a bit tedious in places and the game's performance tanks a lot in the late game when you have massive empires with huge fleets trolling the galaxy in search of space blood.

    @mazzyx that sounds really cool.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Neck beardy in a 4x? *monocle pops out*


    TB pointed out there were some issues with crashes late in the game. But that was a patch or two ago.

    Most neckbeardy stuff I can think of:

    Import/export freighter system. Can be automated pretty easily. Taxes/income is way simpler than most 4xs. It is straight off production not some formula. Higher the tax less production and vice a versa. Going negative is just a warning about possible issues. Ship design is nerdy but that is half the fun.

    The UI could of been miles better but that isn't awful.

    I could stay up but I'm kinda bored and tired anyways, and I do have stuff to do around the house tomorrow.

    Think I'll head to bed, g'night chat.

    And Raven, you can bite me anytime, we are all friends full of sexual tension here.
