Had never heard of Highfleet but it looks pretty awesome!

Plus, I grew up playing MicroProse games in the early to mid 1990s so wild to see that they are still around and making great content.

I also loved this quote from the reviews:

"A typical Microprose game in that you need to a) immerse yourself in it and b) READ THE GOSH DANG MANUAL in order to have any hope of enjoying it." [0]

Oh it's alarmingly fun.

1. radio decryption and cyphers

2. Complete flying fortress customization

3. ancient tech-obsessed desert culture kinda like homeworld

4. merchant raiding and resource constrained survival

If you get deep into building customized ships, I have an automated optimizer for you to check your stats against :)
