[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="12" id="3608591"] Quoting MastahJ, reply 11 I have been playing this game since galciv1, and there are few games i rate more highly. Of course Alpha Centauri is still my number one game that no one has yet bothered to top even after all th
The space battles on Stardrive are really, really pretty and fun. But I don't need them to be happy. Gal Civ 2 is still my favourite game. I don't want Gal Civ 3 to clone Stardrive's battles, but there is something to be said for an approach that is pretty and very watchable.

If you are advanced enough to be flying around space you can tell whether a star will go super nova several hundred million years in advance. But, I wouldn't mind if some of those uninhabited systems blew up and caused communication problems, or crop failures or maybe an environmental change in nearby systems. But if one of my systems blew up I would be pissed unless I was made aware, beforehand, that the star was a little problematic.
The only mega event that should happen at such a point is a mass capitulation by the rest of the empires.
