I really love the idea of having your faction include a civilian component that goes around and does its own thing without regard for your master plan. That new expansion looks like it adds some cool stuff and I think it's gonna be time to pick this up when it comes out.

Thats my favorite part about the game. It makes your empire feel alive. The game is still just too rough around the edges for me to enjoy consistently.

Hmmm. I've been following Distant Worlds for a while now, could you expand on what you mean?

(They really should have a demo :()

I'm not very good at articulating why in this case. It just feels like there isn't much gameplay. I haven't dedicated hundreds of hours to it like Civ 4, for instance, but every game feels the same and the few decisions you make don't seem to make a noticeable difference.

Maybe someone else who has the same feelings as me can explain it better.
