Default Re: Has anyone tried Reach for the Stars?

From the small amount I saw of the technology research and ship building it was very simple and without the options in SE4.
I bought RftS a couple months before I'd even heard of SE4. RftS is simpler and less customizable than SE4, but it does have an editor in the full Version that can customize the races, tech trees, and scenarios. I haven't kept up with the patches to RftS, but I've heard that the second campaign game that was added later was quite buggy.

Since buying SE IV, I've played it quite a bit more than RftS, but I do still go back to RftS sometimes for a change of pace. As far as the combat systems go, I'd personally rate SE IV Tactical first, RftS second, and SE IV Strategic third.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
