I've bought this game because the first one was a blast to play.
A STACS-lite H'n'S set in a 4X universe!
(and I'm a fan of all three genres)

The one issue I had with the previous game was the speed at which the NPC nations went about colonizing and warring. Way too fast. So I rarely interacted with them except to sell and buy gear.

Would it be possible to slow it down Much, much, more in this..sequel?
