Missiles: One key aspect of missiles overlooked in GCIII is missle inventory. Small ships never run out of missiles. In real life, Large ships can have more space for more inventory, Supply ships can restock combat ships. 1. Range Techs boost missile range 2. Missile Engine Techs - boost the speed 3. Miniaturization - Reduces its size, allowing ships to stock more missiles 4. Ship Design Techs - boosts shipboard inventory - think

I like how the Honor Harrington Universe handles missiles vs. beams. Missiles have a longer range than beams. You can extend the missile range via tech developments. The downside is that laser (beam) point defense systems, counter missiles and ECM can stop/degrade missile attacks. Missile inventory is also limited, but it can be extended via tech or larger ships. Expend all your missiles and you are limited to beam or kinetic weapons until resupplied. Beam

Looking forward to the AI update that will make the races play differently and the speed up in early game ship construction. Thus far I really like the graphics and the interface that I see in the beta, when its not crashing, I miss the racial differentiation that I experienced in Sword of the Stars - where each race plays really differently in terms of movement mechanics, strategy and battle tactics. <a href="http://www.alteredgamer.com/strategy/
