    I picked up the expansion bundle two days ago.

    I was really enjoying it until I saw

    "Ascension Victory for Arcean Empire: 492 weeks"

    that box is getting unchecked next time.

    The graphics overhaul is juicy as are many of the new automation features (specifically ship creation) I didn't play since the original release and I am wondering what's up with asteroid belts.

    I need to pick up the new expansion. But I just came down off a two-month Civ IV bender and am trying to play Sins of a Solar Empire now. I think I might be burned out on the whole strategy bit for a while.

    Jasconius, just automate your miner and it'll go around developing all the asteroids. Whichever planet is getting the little trade route lines will get a small boost to production and (I think) economy/research. You can also click the asteroid mines to choose which planet gets the bonus.

    In the same vein as GalCiv, there's the Space Empires series, of which IV is the best.

    They are a lot more convoluted than GalCiv, though. By a lot.

    Oh man, StarCon 2. Motherfucking Star Control.

    That game was nothing short of incredible.

    Also, you can get it for free now with the (admittedly cheesy, but still charming) voice acting from the 3D0 version as The Ur-Quan Masters

    Honestly I am an enormous StarCon 2 geek. I think somewhere around here I have a couple binders with all the shit I could find on the series at the time, including the strategy guides for the game, the manuals, GURPS conversion rules, oh, and every bit of dialogue in the game.

    Star Control 2 was damn near perfect. Still one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.

    The original was pretty cool, to. I used to muck about in the editor all the time to make seriously biased scenarios for myself to win. It was great fun.

    Oh shit, I hadn't heard of that! That's fucking rad.

    Now I'm looking for my binder of StarCon stuff. I hope I didn't throw it out. Those GURPS character templates were pretty interesting.

    Wow, every line of text? Holy crap that must be a big binder. The game seriously has to have some of the best overall writing for its time ever.

    I remember the first 22 pages of the StarCon2 manual was intro. Backstory. Fluff.

    22 pages. Crazy.

    Man, I must have read those pages dozens of times.

    They just don't make them like that any more.

    Pretty sure it was two binders, since there was so much dialogue in the game.

    I think, if I were forced to pick, I'd have to say, the Pkunk. Or possibly the Orz. And the Yehat. And the Androsynth, and Arilou, and Slylandro, and Thraddash, and the Other Slylandro, and possibly the Mycon.

    I love that game.

    Edit:, Oh and the Syreen, because how can I forget a race of decadent space vixens. Have I mentioned how much I love this game?

    Aha, I have found it!

    Shit I had everything here

    "The Basics of Orz-Speak"

    "You know you've been playing too much Star Control when..."

    A list of every ship captain name for every alien ship in the game (Shofixti: Hiyata, Wasabi, Kudzu, Ichiban, Bonsai!, Genjiro, Ginzu, Busu, Gaijin, Daikon, Sushi, Naninani, Chimchim, Tora-3, Tofu, Kimba, Tanaka, Katana)

    The GURPS templates, which are awesome:
    Syreen have ST -1 (-10 points) DX +1 (10 points), and Night Vision (10 points). Females have telepathy power 3, males have Psychokinesis at an equivilant level (15 points). They are TL9 (-5 points). Males will not be seen except for pre-cataclysm Syra or post slave-shield Gaia.
