Where is the I-Max computer theater monitor to play the game with, so I can spin around and around?

But really, I think it just is not as incremental as a true turn-based strategy game. That said, I think it is an evolutionary type of game, mainly since I still usually play turn-based games. I have my doubts if my computer will handle it since I already have built a "star map huge" map with only 84 stars and 226-362 planets with barren stars in it also. I can show you an Internet website where a picture shows 500,000,000 stars (half a billion). I expect my computer to crash and already have seen where the saved game is ~8mB and it is very early in the game. I suppose someday that a more type supercomputer will help these games, otherwise as I said there are still trade-offs to how much incremental details that can be made to still have the game run on a computer for a home user. That said there is also an echo in the music and voices (which only means that I probably need newer drivers for the sound card. But the game runs, and the sounds play and the graphics help the player be out-in-spacetime. Sure after awhile, all the stars and planets are going to look the same and the spaceships. As emotional garbage grows if humans ever make it out into space, I am sure this game will be like a childs' toy. Anything else that you may have an opinion on, I have to get back to at least trying to play actually that small galaxy I made with the Map Designer. One thing though is I have to right click to move the ships, because if I use the left mouse command, the triange where to move stays on after clicking where to go. So, I like to go out into spacetime, and so I must get back to the game. There is other reviews to read, and since I already lost a game or two not really knowing what to do, I just got better knowing how the interface can be used easily. Try double left clicking sometimes, or just float out of the airlock. I usually like to twirl the star map around but I have to keep moving my mouse to do that in this game so far, perhaps there is a keyboard command to let me do that while just pressing a key. Back to the space game with the nice 3D graphics. And then there is also the add-on now for the game - Entrenchment. Ah, now I made a smaller star map with only 16 stars and about 70 planets and I quit trying to scroll the main screen of the game and that was another option which I may or may not use depending on how accurate I can click on the scroll-bar and pin or not pin items in the game. Whereever you go, there you are!
