What i hate about the game companies these days is the fact that they're making RTS games short 'net games to allow people who cant learn to play,to play. I LOVE the type of RTS games that take 1 or 2 hours of fingernail crunching to set up your base and infrastructure hoping to get it done before the AI's zerg you. After that.. another 10 to 20 hours to beat the game. I really enjoy being able to goto a friends place..

Has anyone mentioned Andromeda ? it has to be one of the best series i've seen. 5 seasons should keep you happy for a bit.
Moo2 was great.. but before that came....Reach for the Stars :) think there was an updated version of that that came out later.. but still. was a nice start for me to get into the 4X type games.
1 thing i'd love to be put in would be flak burst in the starbases.. maybe either a base skill or have it replace one of the upgrades. I love being attacked in a system with a SB but if my cap ships leave it then the SB soon dies from fighter/bomber attacks.
With the Starbases using shields.. ok, not really realistic with BSG.. but looking at a gamers point of view.. i've just been imagining the sheilds acting as huge amounts of flak cannons shooting down any/all missiles coming in. This mod is awesome btw :)
