How many of you have played this game? It's absolutely amazing.

While it may get annoying playing on a huge map, I love the scope of the game. In a game I'm playing currently I've nearly spent 12 hours and am no where close to winning.

Personally, I'd like to see better scaling of fleet size and so on; controlling planets should be how you increase the number of ships you can field.

anyways, what are your opinions on this game?
