Yes, especially with bigger galaxy sizes it becomes a real drag. Just an example: Sending a fleet halfway or completely through the galaxy has to be done system for system.

With a small galaxy and the right starting race choice you can always strife for a quick win by invading the home worlds of all others. Alternatively settling >= 2/3 of the planets.

There used to be an AI patch flying around but it didn’t do much in that regard. If anything the computer players felt more aggressive afterwards IIRC.

The thing we missed most back in the day was a multiplayer mode. That would have opened a whole new world especially in regard to the weak game AI.

Seems I’m ahead of the curve. It went beyond my notice back in the day and I stumbled upon it some month ago and started playing it. Nearly through now.
It is fun! 🙂

One of the games I replay a bit from time to time since the release. But usually not to finish because it gets too tedious later on. I must have beaten the game with mid size galaxy and above one or two times but that was “just work” in the end.

But it still has great atmosphere and is fun for an hour or two. 🙂
