And that, my friend, is what makes it fun to do just so!

Hi all,
Thanks for your interest in SOTS. A lil birdie told me there was a few questions here. There has been a few answers at these other SOTS discussions...

I wouldn't think of it as something that was meant to replace Grand Empires 4X games like SE as much as compliment them. SOTS concentrates on level of detail in tactical and production choices and strives to do them justice in 3-D combat. Granted you will not being building movie theaters to keep a planet happy...on the other had you will be nesting minelayers with EW destroyers and slipping torpedo groups behind moons to take down command ships in the backfield.

Ask anything you are still curious about and I will be happy to pop in and answer.

Ah, nice to see you here, Mec, the torpedo's behind moon does sound fun... although I'd rather blow up the moon and let nature work on my enemies.

Side note: For all those 3D modelers out there, who are also interested in this game, I have just found out that SOTS ship files are .X files! So that probably means that any SEV race can be transplanted to SOTS! Anyone up for a match between the Tarkas and the Jraenar?.....

Just to let you all know, shots of the main strat interface have been posted as well as our message boards are now up.

This new game looks nice...a bit too cartoony but mostly nice.

Thanks anguille...Sorry you feel its a bit too "cartoony"...everybody and their dog does the same old boring 3-D talking heads...we thought we would do something a little more stylish, a little less taking oneself oh so seriously. These days one tends to forget that in the days of Ho! and early MOO there was a bit of tongue in cheek mixed in with the space opera.

Actually i love cartoons and the original MOO. It's that i am more into "belgium" and "french" style of cartoons (like Valérian). I'll be following this with interest...will it be released in Europe?
Thanks
