Anybody gotten into the Alpha yet? I was sort of debating on it, looks alot like gal civ, and civ. I would jump on it right now but Crusader Kings has me spoiled.

I just picked it up before going to work.

That looks pretty cool, going to have to keep a eye on it.

I've only played 30 min or so. So far the interface is clean and simple, and there are a lot of research to do.

Oh right, this thing is released proper btw, week ago or so? Was good fun in beta, looking forward to play more of it in MP.

This game, is pretty polished, way better then some of the other 4X's released in the last few years, SotS2 I'm looking at you.

Haven't really played and gotten into a space 4X game since Stars!, and that was an eternity ago. Will definitely try this.

Wonderful clean UI, tooltips everywhere, clear & understandable techs, a unique battle system... loving this

Hot damn, does that game have a hostile community

. Seriously, five minutes on those forums and I decided never to go back there.

0rpheus · 07-17-12, 07:48 AM

I think the game's generating a bit of user-controversy, lol. A lot of people really disagree with one aspect or another, seems to be quite polarised. Great game though!

Havent gotten around to trying it yet. Have it - just haven't played it.

0rpheus · 07-18-12, 08:24 AM

Actually while I think about it, the PlaySF crew have scheduled an open multiplayer game of ES for this coming Saturday (21st) at 3pm.

Steam group & event link:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Pla...41024325676768

We'll use Steam voice etc and there'll probably be a write-up AAR on the site - any & all welcome to join! The game will likely last a fair way into the evening though, so make sure you've got plenty of time

seaniam81 · 07-19-12, 06:51 AM

I've had thoughts of joining in. But good chance I'll still be sleeping at 3pm. lol silly midnight shift.

Which forums are you refering to, Steam or the official site at Amplitude. I'm a member out at Amplitude's offical site and it seems a pretty friendly comunity to me. Everyone seems to share and respect each others ideas as far as I can see. I've proposed a Honorverse like mod, and so far the modding comunity seems like a knowlegable and supportive group.
