I had three complaints from GalCiv2: multiplayer, no campaign, and ship building. Oh and maybe that it wasn't on Steam. I love Steam.
I am very excited to hear that there will be awesome online multiplayer AND a campaign. Also, excited that Stardock has been on Steam for awhile now. But I haven't seen any information on ship building.
Sooo, I understand many people like ship building and by no means do I want it taken out completely, but I personally don't have the time or patience to sit there and build and upgrade ship designs with each incremental technology researched. I kind of prefer the Civilization approach with set units that get unlocked with certain technology combinations.
Ideally, GalCiv3 will have preset units that can be built, with the option to upgrade them via shipbuilder, as well as construct new ships via the ship builder, IMHO.
Surely I am not the only one who finds ship building tedious? Maybe I am just missing something...
