Ah yes. So many things to see. The blaze of the monster red giant (Ow..) The swirl of the black hole.

Afer the first round of exploration is over and you see your claim to space, what have you got? Maybe 6 huge breathable worlds for resources, intel, and research. Or just a few. Or will you have to carve up the galaxy with only a few medium worlds for initial support?

Mod-dability

The original game is good, but the LARGE number of modifications, shipsets, and extra files is simply enough to make you numb.

And if you aren't satisfied with what's on the "market" you can always make your own.

Community

I would have to say that this is Forum Utopia with everybody connected, almost no drugatory comments about others, and it's efforts to help others (too much that it's a contest now...)

My favorite?

Well it's a tie. The community, and how easily modified the game is -- easily enough for computer-illiterate folks like even me to feel able to assay the attempt! lol!

Or my favorite, "Oh NO! We're caught in the gravitational pull of a GIANT Q-TIP! Oh wait, no that's a massive gas giant core???"

I love the surprise, discovering the unknown. I'm one of the few who is happy with the lack of documention because it makes the discovery all the more challenging. It has taken me months of effort to figure out how to get to BattleCrusiers with Speed 12, Quantum reactors, and Stealth and Scattering Armor, (What I consider the "Ultimate" base for ship design).
I also love the friendly sometimes very competative debate that a comment like those might generate.

I like the smillies also.
