Well, since most of those games mentioned probably have hardware requirements that I don't have, I'll just keep on playing SEIV Gold. At least I know this game delivers.

I don't plan on getting too many of the games already mentioned. I just don't feel like they could give me what I want after playing SEIV. I do plan on getting Starfury, and SEV once they are out though.
One of those games that I will buy right away if it ever gets published is S!SNG. That game looked really promising until they couldn't find a publisher. I just don't see them releasing that game anytime soon, which is a bummer. Oh well, long live SEIV.

I most certainly must buy Starfury and SEV. Of course, that will entail me using a very scarce resource as of late, that is, moolah. College kids are so poor

In case anyone is interest, Freelancer went gold

And i tihnk GalCiv has a lot going for it, off course, you can say they've stolen ideas from SE4, but any game steals ideas from previous games, especially if they are good ideas
The strong point of GalCiv is it's AI, and the dedication from the developers. They already scheduled 1 year after the release, to work on updates and such, now you may think they're just releasing a glorified beta then, but imo, if it doesn't have any gamestopping bugs, and you get what it says on the box (*cough*CIV3 MP*cough*), then it's a full game. All the updates that will be added are bonusses.
Plus, the hardware requirements aren't that high, probably similar to SE4's reqs.

If you had taken a few minutes to investigate WHY the game has been continually pushed back for the past few months, you would know that it's because they've been trying to squash virtually EVERY game-stopping bug they find. From what I've read just glancing over the MOO3 forums, the single player mode has functioned pretty much perfectly for months, and they've spent all this time trying to fix late-game multiplayer problems. This personally annoys me, as I have no intentions of playing multiplayer, and could care less if the game crashes on turn 789 when the fleets of 8 different players numbering exactly 361 ships arrive in one system at the same time.

I will buy MOO3 when it comes out, in a couple weeks. I will buy GalCiv when it comes out, a few weeks after that.

I will finish the Grit Tech mod.. I will play more SE4.. I will find a new job.. I will make more reasonable resolutions..

Are there other strategy games that have something similar to PBW? Once you play humans AIs just aren't that fun.
