Game looks greatt and well thought out. I have to say I'm usually not a huge 4x guy because i hate autoresolved combat but the tactics cards and especially the ship designing make it seem very unique. I'm installing it now.

Anyone else have it besides EIR, burn, and lionel?

I know AMPM has the game too and I think a few others, and I got some other friends to pick it up.  I'm loving the new races/factions. ^^

I love the steamroll capacity of the Hissho. Their insane Damage boosts make up for several hundred fewer Military power which can be deceiving. Now I just need the customizer to get rid of the damn -20% to science

Really? But don't you need to actually win a battle for the modifiers to kick in?  Wouldn't that be a bit tough with the tech disadvantage?

See the showdown thread for my reasons why it's awesome.

If you're familiar with MOO (Master of Orion) or Civilization, it's very much like them.

I'll get it if the former, not if the latter :/

Oh, and MOO2 or 3?

Imagine a sleeker MOO2 - but without much ship customisation (which, for multiplayer is actually a good thing.)

No ship customization? Sad

So you get what, lasers or guns or missiles and that's it?

Its a rock paper scissors type deal.  Its customisable, but not to the extent of MOO2, like I said - I didnt like it at the start, but its got enough to be good (customising that is).  And in fact, its grown on me.
Theres lots more than just ballistic, beam and missles - but thats all for weapons.

And anyway, MOO2 was just 'spam missle ships' tbfh.

You can still overcome the rock paper scissors thing, I really don't see it being one of three. You can go heavily in one and still overcome passive defenses if the guy is going all shields to counter your lasers, pack enough to overcome that unless they are suicide boats (all weapons and no armor or health).

Hehe let them bring their suicide buffs, I'll bring my Battleships with -20% tonnage off defensive mods and use my 50% HP converted to extra armor card then ^^

Though I do wonder, has anyone figured out if damage in a fleet/fleet engagement is randomly picking targets or the right ship counters the target?  For example if I had a bunch of DDs with anti-missile flak guns and a battleship with no anti-missile... would the battleship still get hit by them or would one of the smaller ships 'take the hit', you think?

Actually, I'm pretty sure targets are randomly fired upon in order of size, frigates always get targeted first it seemed.
