There are 5,000 freaking stars in the universe, but no drop-down menu for selecting known planets, displaying habitable planets, or anything else: you have to scroll through each of your stars and actually mouse over each newly discovered star to find appropriate candidates for new colonies. As I mentioned earlier, the icons don’t change with zoom level, so it’s impossible to find any ships when zoomed out, other than using the scrolling list that goes through every single ship in the universe. This isn’t that big of a deal in the beginning of the game, but when you are at war and have a large empire to run, finding anything is hopeless. It gets to the point where the game is simply unplayable late in the game; it’s fortunate, then, that the game typically ends near turn 300 (which happens a lot quicker than you think).
A big NO in this case. I'd rather start another MOO3 session.
