    Also, I got a dog in Neverwinter.

    It is adorable and it bites Giants and things that should not be.

    He is a good puppy.

    I think I got most folks.

    So I broke down and bought Stardrive today and I am in the middle of a round as the Humans, mostly because I love the ship design they have. I was in a Battlestar mode. So here are my thoughts:

    First the general game is fun. I am using the governors on most planets just so I have stuff being made when I forget things. Since I have about 18 colonies now that is easy. I left Sol/Earth on manual and use it for ship production. In general that part feels good. The empire screen lets me move around and control almost all aspects but the queue without zooming in. Also kind of reminds me of GalCiv 2 in its planet design more than MoO2.

    The combat is nice. Space combat isn't overwhelming though I lost my prototype capital ship to the damn remants. Stuff looks neat. And sometimes you just have crazy amounts of bullets. Ground combat is pretty much Civ5 but automated and no ranged units. I have spider tanks though and that is cool. I have been mostly just bombing colonies into nothing though. Marines take more effort but the reward isn't large enough for me yet.

    But this stuff to me feels like just icing compared to the real heart of the game. Ship design. Holy crap it is amazing. I have focused on mostly ballistic weapons, shields and armor ignoring lasers. This means I have to carry ammo on my ships but I have less power generation requirements. This has led me to build focused ships. I have missile fighters for anti-capital ship attacks. I have pd bullet storm fighters for fighter to fighter. I have 3 corvettes with different purposes. I have 4 frigates. One is a bunch of forward guns and armor. One has missiles. And one has repair and resupply drones and keeps my fleets going. I just got up to cruisers. I made a cruiser with fighter bays, big guns, pd-defense, boarding shuttles, marines, ordnance production, tons of shields and missiles to help clear its rear. I am planning on basically building the Galatica with flack, missiles, big guns and fighters with its own repair and recover systems. There are even CiC, engineering and medbay items to put on ships and stations that give bonuses like more power, better control, repair and if warp core breaches.

    Another nice thing is that weapons are not using the rock paper scissors system. Shields are good at absorbing all damage but eat tons of power and once down and you have no armor your ship systems can be chipped apart. In general I love the space combat.

    Overall as a 4x it is pretty great. Races are fun to interact with. I have the mollusks with mind controlled owls, the samurai bears who speak in poetry, the piano playing plants and the mechanical bugs which I am currently taking over. Hoping to get the assimilation tech before their homeworld so I can steal their bonuses.

    Tech tree is pretty diverse and you do make decisions which is nice. As far as I can tell though, no tech victory just diplomacy and conquest.

    But overall as a 4x it is awesome.

    I am upset that you didn't include me.

    I've played MOO3 willingly

    I don't even know what that means.

    Edit: Or rather, the meaning that I get out of it is another relationship structure that I don't recall Feral subscribing too.

    Well, clearly Feral is the wife of his sister, Miss Polly.

    I became depressed today that I could not log onto City of Heroes and make a Controller.

    I don't know what it is, but no other game really did a CC-focused class as well as City of Heroes in my opinion.
