Chips and Bits, maybe. Or, try Amazon.

slightly OT, but what is the deal with MOO3? Is it coming out, ever? and will it be good you think? Better tahn SE4 if that is possible/comparable? My only experience with it was a mod/secenario for Civilization 2: Fantasy Worlds (Or something similar, it was basically Civ 2 in space).

255 is a lot of systems to colonize/conquer. I'd rather have more players allowed in the game myself. Or better yet, both.
Imagine a gigantic map with thousands of systems but with only a small percentage of those systems actually habitable (Let alone favourable). Then have 50 or 60 empires and neutrals messing about in there and the possibilities would be truly limitless.

Supply and movement vales would have to be modded (Proportions mod?) to make it playable but that would be sooooo cool...

Oh! I remember Cyber Empires! I remember it took my brother and I nearly 30 minutes to realize that the metallic planetary surface were bLast doors, not the game map. We were like 9 or 10 and didn't know any better.

Great game though. Was fun to build mid-level mechs like a Hercules and blow away everything but a Titan. Though I hated how only the computer could really aim the missles worth a damn.

Civ 2: Fantastic Worlds had a MOO2 Scenario in it. Civ 2: Test of Time had a sci-fi mod that was also pretty cool.

I once asked Amazon to e-mail me when they had MoO2 back in stock. That was almost a year ago, and I haven't heard another word about it since.

[Edit] Found the e-mail from Amazon that said they'd tell me when it's in; it's been longer than I realized.

mlmbd, what Amazon's Web site claims it has in stock doesn't always match what they actually have in the warehouse. I got the e-mail saying they'd tell me when MoO2 came in after I tried to order it from them; I think that the site had that same "usually 1-2 business days" claim when I tried to buy it a year ago.
