I've got the both expansions and been playing a bit of SoaSE: Diplomacy last few weeks (was in the beta too). Its good fun but once you know you've got the game won it can still take a long time. It really needs Master of Orion style options where you can go finish off quickly once you have a massive advantage.
I like what they have done with the AI in Diplomacy, I thought I had won and sent a token fleet to their homeworld and little did I know they kept their main fleet away, my forces were attacking their buildings and bam their fleet jumped in bigger than I thought they had left and destroyed my fleet and took 5 systems before I could build a bigger enough force to take them down.
Decided to give this one a go, but i cant say i'm overly impressed with it.
got as far as to getting that alien ship and going through the wormhole no problem.
but now i'm facing ships that also has shields, and they are virtually impenetrable. it doesent matter what loadout i'm using i just can not break through the shields on any of the enemies i face on that convoy mission.
been looking at the IGN walkthrough and using their recomended loadout and a huge mix of my own but the best i can do is to kill 1 measly ship other then the fighters out of the 15 or so in total, meaning i guaranteed fail the secondary objective wich is to make sure all freighters survive.
if its gonna be this hard this early on (and i'm playing on EASY!) i sure don't want to spend any more time on it.
It is difficult, managed to get back to Earth with the new ship, but my copy was bugged on that mission, the mission never ended, you would complete the objectives and that was it, you would just wander about nothing happening.
Eep, clunky interface. Very strong Babylon 5 feel to it. I like the ability to pinpoint devices on targets. Potentially strong tactical fun if the interface doesn't put me off too much.
