Fantastic game way ahead of it's time, I remember palying this in 1996 as a 11 year old kid and I still play it from time to time....microprose made a real banger

It yelled "No!" Proof that the guardian is manned and not an AI :P

Iam very sorry to write at random video, but there is one thing which if can be modded (by your previous reply Iam afraid it is not possible) could improve gameplay of MoO big time.
Its defense of homeworld and 2 other oldest planets of species. Those systems should be allowed to have 3x much ground defenses and there could not be sudden attack on those systems - there would always must be 1 turn delay (no star empire will let big foreign fleet to their home system), so Ai could buy/rush such defenses in case of war.
That along with ai making defenses acording players fleet - rockets/fighters/ground weapons...
Also homeworlds should have A LOT militia it would make for better looking ground battles :-)
I have a lot simple ideas how improve this game but i realize codebase is very very old...

How did you have xenotrium armor with the guardian still around?

Congratulations. You built a ship that can take out a mid level boss after getting every tech in the game. Doesnt a stellar converter one shot that thing from any distance with Achilles, which is cheaper, easier to manufacture, requires less tech, and takes up less space than all of the upgrades youve put on like hyper x capacitors?
