Firaxis Reveals New Interstellar Strategy Game, Sid Meier's Starships

I'm expecting Ace Patrol in space. This is not a bad thing as Ace Patrol is a really fun computer board game. I hope no one is expecting something without some board game influences as Sid has been heavy into that for years now.
 
I'm a bit cautious with my excitement, because it's also for the iPad. We know what mobile games look like...
 
It Is A Pity. Apparently no biomonstrov for Harmony. This is sad. But we can see what exactly is there all 3 Affiniti .

Eh. There are a lot of problems with pure Bioships when it comes to space stuff.
I can see their ships utilizing organic equipment (Neural Tissue Substrata for computers, DNA Computing and so on.)

This did not prevent Harmony, have completely organic satellite.

Well I wonder who will be the captains of those that will be evident as a leader in civilization. May be completely new characters. Descendants may have already known for Civ: Be characters. Or maybe even clones leaders Civ: BE.
 
Wow, this looks pretty damn cool. Definitely going to consider buying it.

But I still need to finish my game on Civ: Beyond Earth first. :(
 
I have not yet looked at all the videos but obviously we're playing the leaders of the CIV: BE, and that all three affinity presented.
 
So the reviews on Steam are about 50/50. Actually, they have been almost exactly 50/50 all day, never getting more than one or two reviews ahead. Suspsicious.

Most of the negative reviews are complainging about how it's too simplistic and a mobile/casual game though, but there does seem to be a theme of 'crashes'.

Well, that's not good. Then again, he did kind of rush it. Eh, PLAY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I WANT!

To properly express my feelings for this:




SPACESHIP!

So far, pretty damn awesome. Difficult, kinda simplistic so far, but awesome.

Also, Carriers are fucking OP, as well as torpedo ships when aimed right.

Decided to go and see if people had figured out what bonuses you get for sending a save up from BE on the 2K forums.

FUCK that. They have crappy anti-bot software. Only way I can justify having a bot that's gone on for the last 2 hours posting a new thread in one sub forum every minute. And it not being the only bot.

Of course, their choice of security question is also lame. It's "Type the word e v o l v e without any spaces"
Replace evolve with random other game. All the letters having spaces between them. Does not surprise me that it's got bots with a security question like that.

I really dont feel safe getting advince on their forums with that amount of fail.

So, anyways, any ideas on the bonuses of using a game you played in Civ:BE to base your start with?
