Starbase Orion - (by Chimera Software) - Universal App

@wrath While SC probably won't get an update soon, there might be new titles in the future that scratch a similar gaming itch.

Composer Mark Kent has written 30 minutes of new, original sound tracks for SO! They will be included in the next version; you can listen to one of the new tracks in this video update.

I just started playing this again and i'm getting a lot of crashes. I'm using an ipad3 with everything updated.

Good lord! Late to the party, yet again. First, I 'discover' the Ravenmark thread (TBS in the same vein as Final Fantasy Tactics - that I have yet to play), and now I discover a spiritual version of Masters of Orion on iOS (not to mention that I discovered that Ascendancy was ported).

I've played more x4 than TBS in my dim and distant past (90s). It's been strictly RPGs since then or MMORPGs (retired).

My stumbling block is time, as opposed to money: I've still to finish FF3 (in Eureka - nearly at the end); FFIV; then finish my 3/4 of the way through Avadon; not to mention actually play Autumn Dynasty - which I bought shortly after it came out (despite not being a RTS fan), but have yet to play. Then I can think about Starbase Orion and Ravenmark - to satisfy a number of genre itches.

It's facile to even mention Mass Effect 2 (not a patch on Mass Effect) or RDR on my Xbox 360 (back in it's original box)!

For all of those who mentioned Master of Magic (all of my university house-mates inc. myself were horribly addicted to MoM - wonderful game), please see the upcoming 'Worlds of Magic' thread.

Heavily considering this, how does in compare to Ascendancy? Seems much more polished. Also comparing it to Carcassonne...

How does Starbase fair on the iphone 4? Reading reports of crashes on all devices. Doesn't matter to me as long as I can progress at all.
