Before I played my first multiplayer game, I played a few games using "simultaneous movement" so that I could learn the new play style and hopefully not make a fool out of myself. Since then, I have come to much prefer strategic combat. First, in large games, tactical would take much too long, but more importantly I think the real fun is in designing ships and fleets and their associated strategies to accomplish my goals. After a while, you will have learned through experience what works well and what doesn't and then the creative fun starts. Since then, I can't remember playing any single player games with tactical combat (except for testing purposes).

I love tactical combat. It ensures that what you want done is done exactly how you want it done. Not to mention it looks a lot cooler than watching some little colored dots swirl around a box. However, I agree that tactical combat would not be very effecient outside of single player and hotseat gameplay. But, since the AI in SE5 will no doubt be more reliable I don't think it will be an issue anymore. As always I remain optimistic. [img]/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
