What the hell happened- MOO3 sucks

[moomaster]

What happened to this game???????????????
I"m the biggest fan of Master of orion, so many years of waiting and finally when u buy it and play the game for couple of days, all the hopes go down the drain than u wish u never bought the damn game. MOO2 was way more interesting to play even with 2D graphics.
In MOO3 all u do is try to maintain good diplomatic relations and colonize, the rest is all automated. And the combat is so horrible, the ships are so small u cant even see them with some kind of details even with the full zoom in, they like flying dots. And on ground combat they ad list could of created some fighting animation or something to make it more attractive
The research, dont even start me with that.
And whats wrong with ship designs, i started the game 6 time with different species just to check if i get a different ship design, no hope same ship design every time u start a new game.
This game is not even being close of coming to the subject of complex.
In reality everyone is saying that this is a superb game, how about this, stop kissing the MOO3 creators ass and speak on what u truly think about this game. And maybe than they'll think twice before releasing such a hideous game.
High expectations down the drain and thanks for Ruining the game.

I'm not a troll, and for those who say that i'm well they can go and @#$% them selfs.

Troll.

Posting your opinion about MoO3 in a forum titled "MoO3 - General Discussion" can hardly be considered trolling.

[Jamski]

What he's posted is hardly part of a "General Discussion" just type troll to save the next person having to read it, and then press "Add to ignore list"

oh it is part of general discussion, i'm just not afraid of discussing it

With one laser tech and one missile tech at the start of the game I struggle to think how there could be different ship designs. The diversification comes with what techs are available for you to research and which ones you focus on.

One of the things I like about MoO3 is that even when its obvious I'm about to win the game I still haven't managed to trade or steal every tech from the other players and that the techs you do get and your starting characteristics really do make a difference to your strategy.

But then again I'm falling into the trap of responding seriously to a rant. Bad idea

[moomaster]

What i meant as a ship design( not when u research and get cruiser or a titan) what i meant is, when u start the game your ships look the same even if u play with different species. In the movie intro the ships that attacked the guardian, you play with this ships all the time, no matter what species u choose.

Lets discuss then.

Well, this is quite simply untrue. There's 8 different ship styles + one for the New Orions.

Next !

Each racial group gets a different ship look. So all the bugs look the same but their ships are different from the humanoids or the robotics...

[moomaster]

Well i dont know about u but i started the game more than 25 times with different species and I got exactly the same ship design(style)

[Jamski]

Really ?

[moomaster]

Yes,
That is one of the reasons that pissed off about this game, I thought every species had their own ship design, well i was wrong

[Jamski]

But every species does have its own ship designs. I can't imagine what's wrong with your MoO3. You did buy it, didn't you?

All I can think of is doing a total uninstall and reinstall unless the IG forums have a known solution to that problem. Its certainly not a universal one.

[moomaster]

Yes, i did buy it, and i reinstalled the game twice to see if that would make a difference, well it didnt. since u all have different ships, I guess its another bug or something. A Report needs to be done do Quicksilver about this bug, which i will not do.
