Re: Space Empires new Kleenex [MOO3]
Looks like MOO3 might fall flat on it's face. They posted a mammoth list of features they were pulling recently.

Re: Space Empires new Kleenex [MOO3]
Good analogy Dan! Name recognition in and of itself will sell a lot of copies of MOO III via impulse buys. Whether they sell enough copies to ensure a MOO IV remains to be seen. Missing the Christmas season is going to cost them some sales out of the gate. The determination to release a product with no major bugs is quite admirable these days though, so I hope they succeed.

Re: Space Empires new Kleenex [MOO3]
I read part of that preview, and am already seeing things I don't like. For example, they mentioned having *friendly* ships in your systems will automaticlly blockade. Eww.

Re: Space Empires new Kleenex [MOO3]
Yeah, I noticed that too, Pheonix-D - sounds like a very dubious design choice. No counter-intel, and allies conducting terrorism on each other as matter of course.
It also wasn't encouraged by what they said about tactical combat.
Looks like there are some interesting bits, though, but overall, I'm not very hopeful. Especially if it's still TCP only for multiplayer (no PBEM).

Re: Space Empires new Kleenex [MOO3]
There's was also something I didn't like.. The description of combat and "battleGroups" made it sound like ships couldn't be damaged. I got the impression that each ship just has a certain amount of hit points, and then it's dead. If that's the case, there's another reason it won't be any good.

It hasn't been released or 'gone gold' yet.
