Yeah, October is gonna be the tv/pc month of the year. SEV, Dom3, Gothic3, Battlestar, even NSF:C might be worth playing through once. And a new Deftones album. Perfect.

To be fair, all these items were possible in SE:IV with its "limited" mount system to the point where they could be applied on individual weapons or vehicles.

True, but compared to MoO's system it is, as mentioned, very limited. I think modifications would be a neat addition.

Eww, MOO3... the game where you have to manually install the miniaturization upgrades that have no drawbacks to them whatsoever... the game where there are a million other things horribly wrong Couldn't you have used a screenshot from MOO2 instead?
Wait a sec, you mean you can actually make point-defense beams in MOO3? I thought PD in MOO3 was limited to anti-missile missiles

As much as MoO3 was a huge disappointment to just about everyone, I've to say I really enjoy it when I've installed dozens of hacked exe file upgrades and some mods(they're still making them). It has a completely unique feeling to it, as in you actually feel that you're a leader of an empire, not a 'detailist' universal-role thing person like in the other 4X space games. You show your planet leaders what you want done, and then they go ahead and do it; but not necessarily like you would have. In other words, very realistic, epic, unique and, with the right mods and updates, fun.

I defintly agree here. Whenever im bored, which usually happens once each year, a few weeks before christmas i reinstlal MoO3, install the hacks a some mods and play until february, when im again bored of it.
It is a good game, but you have to work with its major flaws.
