A poll is pointless. It's not going to be in GalCiv3 no matter if everyone on teh forums says "yes"

We are way too late in the dev cycle to be throwing in what would be a core feature of the game. TC has VAST implications as to how you design the game at large. Research, ship design, race balance, etc.

ANy idea you could simply just 'tack it on' at this point in development because of some magical poll is foolish.

No

Yes I know what the answer is, and I have read the official response. I am 100% behind the decision to keep TC OUT OF GAL CIV III. Furthermore I really wish the entire 'Well I see TC is once again out' threads leave but alas they wont. 

Anyway thanks for posting. I wrote this thinking there would be a way to make a simple poll. 

Hmmm, I've seen alot of passing would be players want it and observed the same thing on other sites, theres alot of people but I don't think there are enough/any here now.

I wanted to do this to at beta or at release or on steam, thanks Larsenex but the timing is off.

NO. There's a time and place for everything, but I don't think it adds anything to this game.

Again with the polls! 

I vote NO on polls! 

But if I didn't, I'd vote NO on tactical combat.

Someone created a poll and posted it on the Steam forums.

SHUN

SHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN

I'd actually prefer some less tactical combat.

I liked the combat in MoO1 better than MoO2. In MoO2 you mostly just used the best space/damage weapons and rarely had to adjust anything significantly to account for the enemies designs. Largely because bigger ships were always better, and somewhat related, your base defense, of armour and shields were always defaulted to the best with little reason to go down. In MoO1 small ships were viable, which meant shields varied, as well and engine speed which meant range was more of a factor. And the smaller ships meant big expensive weapons might be overkill and thus not a good choice.

GC2 was closer to MoO1 by having defense vs. offense on your ships be a consideration. Although it did seem that bigger ships were still better the limit on fleet size did require the use of smaller ships. Now that range, speed and accuracy are a factor that will give more to design for. I didn't mind that the AI does all the fighting as long and it behaves in a predictable manor so I can design for that. I had a calculator out when designing to see what the target priority of my ships would be.

I'll probably get in on the beta when combat is in. Has there been anything said about how combat works in GC3? I haven't seen any but I haven't kept a close eye on developments so far.

Awesome. Actually I only did this thread to put this topic to rest. The current 3rd party poll seems to verify what I thought. 

Currently most people do not want it in game..

No,No,No,A million times No! it wasnt in GC1 or GC2 so why the hell would it be in GC3!

You've been told by Brad of all people and if you crave TC that much SD also developed Sins so go play that instead!

You don't have to mutter to yourself, hold you're head up like a champion!
