"combat success revolves entirely around your boring economy!" I don't know what this means. If you have better ships, ships designed to take on the ships of your opponents, and higher tech, you will blow them up. Do you need a good economy to keep up in the tech/production race? Sure. It sounds like your complaint is less about GalCiv and more about the 4X genre itself, which has ALWAYS been about keeping up a good economy, keeping up in the tech/production races, and using superior technology and numbers to blow up the other guy. If you want tactical space battles, this is not your game, no. But don't fault it for being exactly what it is supposed to be. 2. DEFCON is ranked #2 on your overrated list, which immediately invalidates everything that came before or after on that post. [/quote]
