[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3411692"] Those who like the idea of designing carriers and seeing carriers in action in fleet battles I think will be happy. Those who imagine fleet battles that play like MOO2 (i.e. where you're micro managing individual units) will be less happy.[/quote] Aaaaand I won't be buying this game.

Tactical should be an option. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the game. This single feature was what made the difference between MOO2 and Galciv2 (where Galciv2 was worse IMHO). Don't do RPS ala Endless space, don't do real time ala Stardrive.
