Well, even with the varied graphical bugs, I want to give a big "Thank You!" to Stardock for making a space strategy game that is the best I've seen to date.

Love the ship design!

to the scaling of the map! Sooooo easy to see those pesky fleets sneaking up on me in zoom out mode!

Planets!! Someone finally used Ascendancy's underappreciated tile construction method for plants. Reminds me of M.U.L.E as well

Tech Tree. Only Ascendacy did it cooler, but you could never see what lay down a path. Galciv2 > All

Tough AI. I'm trying games on Tough to start out, and it's tough. I deal fine with the Korx, but then its the Dregin or Torians etc, the one's that have become strong while I duke it out with the Aggressives Gives me a real run for my money, I like that.

Simple UI : Its very easy to click around, find everything. I wish for some more functionality in the fleet screen, like being able to upgrade ships whin a fleet, or get information on the ships inside an enemy fleet, but its still a great UI.

Diplomacy. AI thinks better, make better trades. Although Neutrals are great cash cows. You can sell them any piece of tech, even the obsolete ones!

Things I'd like to see enhanced:

Fleet delve and upgrade functionality.

More anomalies, and a greater spawn rate of new anomalies.

Some way to use those pesky Class 0 Planets.

Rebalance missles a bit to be more space effective for their cost.

Anyway, huge to Stardock, great game guys!!!
