I too have a negative opinion of this cult classic. You can tell it's right because it's different from the popular opinion.

It actually does suck because it's nowhere near as good as civ4 in terms of its design. But it spouts nerd quotes so it's good right.

Also Sid Meier's Starships is kinda like pirates but instead of being a free wheeling trading game the metagame is closer to 4x.

I thought it kinda sucked though cause the tactical battles weren't very interesting.

the design shop in SMAC is Good

if you instead prefer static unlocked units you're basically a big gay

the design shop in smac is like, pick the best unit you can make and design it

There are way better unit designers than smacs particularly in space games.
