This might be old news, but came across a re release of MOO on steam. Collector edition also available containing 1,2,3 and a bunch of art and other goodies.
I figured y'all might be interested because ST and ST4X are similar.

Should I bring up that Cory Trese has gone on record in 2011 saying ST4X will be a Master of Orion clone? Masters of Orion is a 4X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion) Star Traders RPG Is a Role Playing Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game) I did not try to make a 4X game. When I try to make a Masters of Orion clone, you will know because it will be a 4X game.If you care to take my side in this debate then just remember -- Star Traders RPG is NOT trying to be a 4X. It is trying to be a RPG. Therefore, of course it is the "worst copy ever" of MOO. Yes, it is a terrible copy of Master of Orion. That is like saying that my beat up old truck is a terrible hovercraft. Heck yes my truck is a terrible hovercraft. Worst hovercraft ever? I don't know, possibly tied with my laptop, which is also a really poor hovercraft. lol |

Second, if you follow the logic of Cory's statement: "When I try to make a Masters of Orion clone, you will know because it will be a 4X game" ... When I make A, it will be B ... does not mean When I make C, it is B. ST 4X != Master of Orion clone. Also, maybe best quote ever: Heck yes my truck is a terrible hovercraft. Worst hovercraft ever? I don't know, possibly tied with my laptop, which is also a really poor hovercraft. |

I know ST4X is not a MOO clone, I just thought it'd be funny to look at Cory's old post that seems to state otherwise. |

resistor - agreed, the post was hilarious for sure. To logic it out ... "When I make A (a MOO clone), it will be B (a 4X game)" does not mean that "When I make C (ST 4X), it will be A (a MOO clone)" Cory simply said, if he tried to make MOO clone (which we have never done) it would be a 4X game, not an RPG game like ST RPG. And so, the hilarity around laptops, trucks and hoverboards  Great zombie quote, loved it.

The point of the thread was simple. I saw they have redone MOO, figured y'all might like to know since I have seen others mention it. It was not to start an argument over what Cory has said or done. Lol

It is a good quote, I'll give you that. I quite am enjoying the first one. Second one was terrible imo. Third is a steeper curve like TB games.

Not even worth discussing anymore, they nerfed it. No "creative" trait for psilon race. Used to be able to fly to any system within ships range, now uses warp points making it more like a risk game vs a true 4x. Not as bad as they nerfed MOO3, but not impressed as a whole.

Back to ST4X and/or finding a decent mod or clone.
