in Stars! i never really "felt" anything for it..I would read the Messages and click a few things and watch some graphic..but it never felt like a game..more like a spreadsheet or something..no emotion.....but always loved the MOO games..my Last game of MOO2 Lasted about 846 turns before i decided to kill the Antarians.

Tactical combat is great for that - your legendary ship you've won and lost so many battles with, bLasting apart an enemy ship, and then running hard as that pack of CSMs comes screaming up behind you and your 5 remaining shield points.

It all depends on how well you get into a game and/or roleplay.

Of course, it always helps to make small numbers of the biggest ships, so they stay alive longer. Or, going with a fleet, and naming all your members.
