Yes. Head to head against another human would be hotseat for combat. Real fun.
I remember wooping on my room mate in the original SE4.
And I would have to say that I think SE4 is a better game than Stars. I loved Stars and played it for a year or two but haven't played it since I got SE4 Gold. I think SE4 Gold would have been a competitor for Stars SG if it had ever come out. Sadly it hasn't and probably won't and Stars! by itself really can't compete with SE4G in my opinion.
Stars! has a few features I would like to see in SE4 but SE4 has many many more to make up for it. I'm feeling too tired to get into it point by point right now...
Well... try the demo and if you like that then the real Version is even better (several patches more advanced than current demo I believe).
Just my opinion and thoughts on it.
