Personally I prefer discussions of breakfast food weaponization to discussions of capitalism, when it comes to the internet.

a) The vital aspects of capitalism will be decided here, on an internet forum about video games.

b) The vital aspects of batter/syrup based warfare will be decided here, on an internet forum about video games.

It's b, folks. And I am more intrigued by the galactic warfare thing than any of the other stuff so far mentioned in the Dealbreaker/Farscaper, or whatever this thing is about the next TA spiritual sequel.

I really wish I had the finances to support this, but I just did my budget for the month and its a no-can-do for me. That depresses me. Stupid college. :(

Oh well, guess I'll get a chance to get this sucker when it comes out in all its glory later on.

Yeah, I don't pay $20 a day for food. I pay $60 a month for food.

So that planetary annihilation thing. I mostly have been ignoring it, because I didn't expect the whole naval battles thing to happen. And now they are trying to infringe upon ai war's theory of galaxy conquest?

I am disappoint.

No, tis a different thing. They're blowing up galaxies because in the potentially grimdarkness of the far future, no one remembers a bloody thing about why they are fighting in the first place. But explosions are still neat to watch.

AI war is galatic conquest with less huge explosions, and the guys in the scrolltext knowing why they're fighting.

It's Real-time, and it's strategy.  Oh, and there's space involved somewhere.

That's about the extent of the similarity with AIW :)

Don't forget you can play versus the AI. Total rip-off.

Lancefighter is a cool guy, and my friend, but he went full retard with this comment.
