    Rebuilt from the ground up and reimagined with enhanced visuals, sounds, music and mechanics.

    They announced an exciting voice cast today:

    It's just gone on Steam Early Access. Almost 1,000 people playing it now as I type.

    Also, it's DRM-Free & cheaper (!) on GOG as well.

    MOO 1 & 2 were excellent.
    MOO 3 - disappointing.
    I hope this one will be a return to form.

    Playing.

    So far I'm enjoying it.

    Interface voice repetition slightly annoying.

    Large map is not large enough.

    Real time battle watching can be fun.

    Good pace.

    I'd also echo that I'm chafing at the tiny galaxy size. You can end up meeting another race within the first few turns, and with the warp corridor limitations it's very easy to be boxed in from the start.

    How is the realtime multiplayer ? Can you do a 1v1v1 or what are the options ?

    I'm done with it until map size growth. Too crowded.

    So my view after conquering the galaxy:

    1) visuals are beautiful
    2) voice acting dialogue is fun
    3) space battles are very similar to galciv2
    4) map size is far too small
    5) espionage needs to be added soon
    6) many bugs still present
    7) space monsters add to fun
    8) pirates are cannon fodder
    9) good tech tree
    10) need more ship selection
    11) needs heroes/traits, etc.
    12) space lanes create bottlenecks and limit exploration
