The editor is great, you can setup a galaxy however you want. Planets, ships, pirate fractions, whole systems it can all be added or removed with click of the mouse. [:)]

Yeah, when I use the editor, I feel kind of like God. I drop planets, ships, asteroids, and boost my finances to the top. It's one of the coolest things about the game.

Had a sort of old school feel to it.....I really liked watching it...makes a change from over flashy graphics...old school to me means great playability and depth with acceptable graphics....the only thing I noticed was it seemed to be a free for all...any formation\tactics used?

The actual Combat looks a bit fast and spammy,but with the scale of the game it is kinda expected.The setting up of ship design and supply is where the depth lies.

I do not like that you get those huge buffs from conquering Aliens.It should be scaled down.

Yeah. If you watch the time/date during the battels you will see that they are taking several days. It looks like the time is set as year/month/day.
The space battle (2767.10.25; video time: 2:46) involving the troop transport ground invasion takes 25 days.
The narrator states that the colony isn't very well defended with troops so it will be easy to invade. The ground invasion during the space battle, from the time of first transport reaching center of planet to the successful invasion popup window, takes 8 days.
Those "lore/story" times seem reasonable.

I noticed that every 3 or 4 days the day counter would skip a day without a longer interval passing.
Is this is an odd way it is programmed or is it to do with some sort of lag while using some game elements?

Wow you must be responsible for those over 2000 views on youtube for the previous videos!

Nope. I looked at them just once or twice.
