[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 5108, member: 696"] I'm looking for a space combat game, something fun to play. Some provisos, however: 1) Minimal micromanagement. I don't want to have to colonize world X, then build up colonial structures slowly over the next 1000 turns. (Thus, no Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, for instance.) I think this will be the hardest to get.... (Only reason I don't want to play MOO2....) 2) Turn-based. I am not the best at mouse click-fests. I do quite poorly under time constraints. 3) Fleet-level action. Thus, no Wing Commander (which just seems to be fighters) and no Star Commander (which is fighting one ship at a time). 4) Combined arms. I want to be able to have ship X countered by ship A, which is in turn countered by ship M. For instance, if there is a ship that fires missiles, I want a ship that specializes in anti-missile defense. 5) Some ability to do ship designs. I don't want to be stuck completely with some pre-designed ships, I'd like to be able to choose what stuff my ships have, and live with the consequences. So, are there any games that match these criteria? [/QUOTE]
