Re: This game is no SEIV
*Shrug*
Gets a little better with each patch. And even if it's still far from top-notch, it's the only game of this type we've got. As I see it, GalCiv, SotS, etc. are so vastly different and simplified that they can't really compare, and Master of Orion 4 doesn't appear to be coming out anytime soon.

Actually it isn't the only one. It has a strong competitor in SE4.

Re: This game is no SEIV
Master of Orion 4!!!
MOO3 is the only game I ever tossed in the garbage, and they paid me $5 for buying it.
Shame though, I heard some mods made it playable.

Re: This game is no SEIV
MOO3 at one point had a mail in rebate that was larger than the actual cost to purchase it.
As for SE5, I'd recommend it at this point. Try the demo first, though. Ignore the bugs, just focus on the UI. There have been a few small improvements to it, but by and large its the same. If you can live with that, its worth a buy.
The AI is about as stupid as SE4's, though.

Re: This game is no SEIV
For people that don't finish their games: Maybe you should try to play smaller games? For my part, I prefer multiplayer, but I'm sometimes craving about direct control of ships in combat... and not only in simulator!
About firing arcs: have you tried Sword of the Stars? It has _3D_ firing arcs, and the AI doesn't seem to have any major problems with that. You can control up to ~30 ships in combat and it's not that impossible with the help of weapon banks and control groups.
