I think the SotS 1 ultimate editon is still five bucks on steam for the next day or two. It's got a steep learning curve and the voice acting is ear-grating, but I like it.
@Cogzwell: Sort of. They're similar, but this is closer to a Civ game, in space, where you fight all the battles in real-time.
From what I can tell from reading from the Paradox forums, it's gonna be broken for a while. It's "playable" now, but it's missing content and bug-ridden.
If anyone plays the original though, it's pretty stable, if ugly. It can be hard to find multiplayer games though, they tend to be closed or way out of sync with my timezone. So what I'm saying is, Sots2 looks like a wash for at least a couple of weeks, but Sots1 is fun and it'd be cool to have some kind of scheduled multiplayer sessions going.
So, once all the patching and release day shenanigans are over, is anyone up for some community/learning focused games of Sword of the Stars? Say Sunday afternoon, provided a stable version is up by then? I'm liking what I see so far between crashes, and wanna get my galactic domination on.
