hmmm. turn based is more immediate and requires a bit less thought.

strategic requires you to plan ahead a little more and to be more careful with you orders.

It also forces you to use strategic combat mode, which is much much harder and requires obsessively careful ship design/ orders. It alsoi gives the AI more of a chance against you, since you can't do cheesy missile dancing and stuff like that.

Turnbased/tactical is alwaysd good for a quick wipe-the-floor-with-the-AI game, but generally i go for strategic. It's more of a challenge, and it feels a little more fair.
