Heretic! I didn't played MoO, but did played MoO2, don't fucking touch ship design with your dirty hands.

PS You true about late-game battles however.



So potato actually screwed game up. Lol.

Actually, it sounds like they plan to streamline tactical combat and not to remove it.

 

[Fenix]

"Streamline" sounds like "all included" about vacation wich = CURSE.

Man, isn't this just Endless Space?

And why there difference between a desert and an arid planet? They are the same, it just depends on exactly where you are on that planet whether you're in a desert or on a arid location. No planet that has an atmosphere is 100% identical all over.

It's an old MOO1 distinction. One could argue that it's based on amount of surface water on the planet.

 

[Space Satan]

Neutral planets. Sometimes would ask you for something. Some kind of mini-quests. Plus, planet guardians confirmed, like Amobae, gragons and Crystals from MoO2.

wow! city-states from civ5!

 

[Average Manatee]

Lets copy mechanics from the civ game everyone hated.

It didn't require special tech to colonize either way, it simply reduced the max population a bit for desert compared to arid. Not a bad distinction to make I think.

 

[Panzerbärchen]

The whole thing just looks way too sterile, that look didn't help Endless Space I doubt it will help here.
And event notification all the way down the right lower corner and the stats upper left, someone came up with that shit, everyone has to copy it.

What a fucking ugly UI this game has.
It's like the UI for an app that calculates calories intake.

Still a work in progress. Lots of placeholder graphics waiting on artwork, but almost all of the game functionality is done.

Wait, is it remake of MoO? I didn't played it sadly. Or is it something new based on MoO?

There's not going to be open testing until the Beta next year. Alpha 2 is scheduled for 1Q 2016.

It's going to be a fairly strict Java implementation of MOO1 with updated graphics and sound. It's still in progress, but moving along. The plan is to make it available for free and eventually open-source the code.

Here's a Q&A I did with explorminate a few months ago: http://explorminate.net/2015/07/28/java-moo-master-of-orion-qa/

If it will be the same gameplay but with better graphics - I'm in!

Thanks to *pick your line* people like you are still exist.

How about modding possibilities?
(I know. I'm getting old with this question but hearing about "java" always gives me hope in that regard for some reason.)

Thank you again, you have greatly improved my mood. I think that your illustrator is better than Wargaming has.

Making games moddable is something that developers do when they don't open-source their code. If you have access to the code, you can do whatever the heck you want.

He is really good, but the Wargaming artists have a much more difficult task of rendering in 3D.

It is called in English like "they was handicapped by themselves", I think that 3D in most cases looks fake? out of place? Anyway good 2D looks better in 99% cases.
