When I heard back then that MoO got sold to "this World of Tanks company" I groaned, I face palmed & I just buried any hope. While MoO3 put the franchise in a coffin and buried it this would be digging it out for some perverse spectacle and turning it into some monstrous Frankengame thing, turned into some kind of F2P World of Spaceships MMO.
Glad I was utterly wrong :)
Since I played MoO the whole day my mind is a bit too toasted and I'm too tired for a lengthily report but besides some initial troubles (error was found sitting in front of the screen :P) the whole thing IS a Master of Orion title. Not just a shallow name but the real deal. Just this time with what feels like a working diplomacy system. And on top of that I played the whole day with out any crash, or any bug I'm aware off at all (besides the graphic error in the Terran advisors neck)
Sure, there is room for improvement. Save system for example (let clicking "save" open a list of the saves like the one you have on "load". This remembering what I called save X I want to overwrite works but is annoying). If I think long enough I can probably think of more points; but thats just small stuff of which some probably get changed/improved over time.
