There all sorts of stuff you could add to make it even funnier:

1) PD is useless. Light-mounted guns are better than PD at shooting down missile.
2) Missiles start firing before your ships see any enemies and then hang around indefinitely, circling your ships until enemies show up at which point all the missiles sutomatically go for the nearest enemy.
3) The planet development policies are impossible to understand, and whatever you do, the AI will eventually go back to developing your planets the way IT wants to.

God that was funny.

I have a question. How do you explain to someone how horribly moo3 sucked? I mean with its 1985 TRS80 combat graphics to its ugly assed confused and totally uselss UI?

How did these developers get away with this? What in the hell were they thinking? It sure as hell wasn't, "man this game is fun."

I honestly believe that they did not even begin to make the game until a week before it was to go gold and then, and only then, did they peace meal a game, certainly not a moo game, but a game together and sell it as moo3. There can be no other explamination about this.

The graphics sucked, and were horribly horribly dated, and that UI...! I am sure most game designers are as stumped as we are when it comes to that thing.

I did like the 3d map though, that was slick.
