This has been around for years. I bought the full shebang on CD back in my old PC days. I was so ready to enjoy a game with depth and challenege... But oh my god! the game play!. Basically you sit & nothing happens for a l -o-n-g time & then suddenly heaps of incoming missiles start rainig down & your fleet is kaput. No amount of manual reading, plotting & scheming changed this pattern. Am I a retard of something? Try as I might I just can't seem to get any decent game play out of this impressiely deatiled sim.
