I've got all of them - DW, GC1-2-and 3, Stellaris and Polaris Sector. Right now, Polaris Sector is my favorite with DW a very close second. Stellaris is unfinished and flawed. I imagine that time and money will eventually make it a really good game, but it will not be the same kind of game DW and PS are. And, apologies to those who love them, I find all of the GalCiv games painfully tedious and boring. The last, GC3, is the worst of the lot, but with better graphics!
Same here, and I am giving them both more time to cook. Polaris Sector instantly turned me off when I couldn't run down one little enemy scout/ship out of my territory because it kept escaping and had infinite fuel apparently. On the forums, I was told I was playing wrong if the scout bugged me, or something along those lines.
Stellaris seems to have the most potential if you role play the race. For instance, I created a race of mushrooms called Hippy Mandate with home world called Ganja Prime, and basically make every decision by asking, what would a peace loving hippy do?
I am finding Stardock games are all boring and not my thing any more. Sound awesome on the surface, but never deliver for me. Not saying their games are bad, they're just not for me.
In the meantime, I am going back and playing older games. Maybe start up a game of Civ V, which I have not played in a while.
