at no point are you justifying why this would be FUN. it's like you don't even understand what a game is supposed to be

Tactics like being able to have your fleet hiding behind a moon that happens to orbit into the exact right position at the right time is fun to me. Eve Online is already a spreadsheet simulator so I find it about as fun as watching paint dry. Anyway I don't think basic physics is about fun or not fun.

  • Claiming to appreciate tactics involving realistic orbital maneuvering but also hating spreadsheet simulators is an incredibly strange position.

    How does one want a realistic space game but also hate spreadsheets?

    • I didn't say I hate them. I said I don't find them fun.

      Anyway I don't need a spreadsheet to know where a moon is gonna be in N time. A simple visual simulation I can whip up with AI in minutes would do the trick.
