Final game in 1 hour.Yes, it's the beta. Final game in august I think.
..which isn't to say that there won't be post-release support. And that beta you have now is already incredibly polished.

Since the patch is 915.3mb, are there any patch notes?
Anyone keeping track of reviews/impressions by Gaffers here in this thread? Anyone who wrote a longer one?
I've played very little and will be playing some more tonight now that it's "out" (mostly I don't like having different computers playing the same race so I was waiting for some of those to be released, but that's just a personal preference thing, also helps me keep things more straight in game). I'll give some more impressions then. Some of my early ones, found in this thread were wrong, but some I'm curious to see if they changed.Anyone keeping track of reviews/impressions by Gaffers here in this thread?

Also interested! Please post impressions guys... if this is basically Civ in space and more then I am sold.

It's not grid based so movement and positioning are fundamentally different. Last time I talk about it here for now lol but check out gal civ 2 in the summer sale for a more traditional "Civ in space" game.
Are we talking strategy like Civ, Eve, or something closer to SimCity (SimSpace?) game?
I bought it on a whim, but soon found Sins and Crusader Kings 2 to be much more enjoyable.
Bought it too, never tried this genre before, and of course I failed myself: I am bored to death. There is like.. not even an obvious goal to reach or anything...
Until now, I just click through my turns developing the whole development tree, because I can't colonize any Starsystems apart from my own.
Can someone please explain this game to me?
My bad. August is the retail release over here I think.Final game in 1 hour.

Cant answer your question, just curious: Played any other strategy games? Civ, Sins.. How does it compare for you initially?
Played a few games with all the races. It got really repetitive, and I felt that it lacked the strategic depth that Sins offers, especially in the combat part with the three weapon types and three counters. The cards don't do enough to make it interesting. I do like the planet development stuff though.This doesn't really seem like a game you can judge in a "soon" amount of time.
I guess you haven't played a Master of Orion game before? Endless Space is very similar to those.

Colonizing all the planets in my start system was easy. But I can't colonize planets in any other system because I don't "control this system (yet)". How do I control systems?
Sins is basically a stripped-down 4x game so it's a little strange to hear that this game doesn't have the depth. I mean, you're right that the combat doesn't compare but that's because this game is more focused on empire building than constant war.
How close is it to Master Of Orion?
Taste the happy.Pretty much the game we should have gotten instead of MoO3. It's very much the spiritual successor, amongst other things.
Nope.

I wish the governor AI was more consistent. On 2 different games, I used same race (Sowers) to quickly expand and dominate, while had all my planets on 'balanced'. In one game I had tons of dust and in one I got totally bankrupted out of the blue with no idea why. I hate planet micro so it annoys me that I have to start doing it again.
There's a demo?
How moo2 like is this game? I have been waiting for a game to replace my moo2 habit, but have been disappointed in everything I've tried.
Basically a more polished MoO2 in every area except combat and ship design, which is sadly very lacking.
