*raises his hand*

I love EFS Hyperion (and hte Fading Suns RPG) to death.

However, it suffers from the same problem that MOM does: brain-dead AI. The EFS AI never launches planetary invasions or builds good units.

Fortunately, EFS has out-of-the-box multiplayer --and hot-seat.

EFS, MOM, Stars!, and Dominions 1/the 2 demo all hooked me the moment I started playing.

I'm a programmer and I rather like Python, though I've only seriously used it for one project several years ago. It's extremely flexible about what it lets you do, and it offers strong cross-platform libraries to do all kinds of things.

It's extremely good for fast prototyping, or anything where execution speed isn't critical, but development speed is desired. The cross-platform aspect is great, too.

It was quite easy to learn and use. Also since it costs nothing, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Hm, I was under the impression that "Stars! Supernova" had publisher problems as well. I haven't checked their site for a long, long time however. For all I know, Mare Crisium dissolved already.

Yeah but they want a publisher who will do "advances". Pay them to work on finishing it.

I do think that Stars was a wonderful game. And I would LOVE to see the new one come out, but Im not sure Id want to put MY neck out that far to see it.
