Yes.

Less micromanagement, better diplomacy (GalCiv will have even better diplo), hopefully better AI.
And shiny pwetty 3D combat

I am not yet convinced that MOO3 will actually be released before the suits kill it completely.

From what I hear it will suck duck. Last I heard they removed alot of features and so forth. So no I do not think it will be better then SEIV. Actually it will not even come close to being as good as SEIV is.

It will be much better because of real-time combat ! But wait, that'not enough. I want a first personal shooter element in my 4x TBS game !

Real-time combat is overrated, and almost always much worse than turn-based combat (as it encourages click-festing).

I bet the MOO3 AI will do very poorly in the micromanagement arena. Enough so that if you are playing against other humans you will have to perform the micromanagement yourself to stay par with a human that is doing the same.

I've heard alot of bad things about this product. Here is a list of things taken out:

-Customizing Your Empire's Color
-Customizing Your Ship's Look
-Customizing Your Homeworld's Name
-Customizing Each Star's Name You Conquer
-Seeing Pretty Stars On The Galaxy Map
-Bombs taken out???
-Not Able To Capture/Board Enemy Ships

I don't think I'll be touching this.
