I agree with that part. I don't like building houses, spaceships, boats...everyone in my game runs around in borg-cube-like everythings.

I like space mode. I REALLY dislike the fact that all my colonies have CRISISES all the time. I don't care, I just want to run around and do what I want, when I want.

I do have WoW. Sometmes I don't have internet, so I wanted a non-internet game.

international relations PhD. Kinda more business/diplomatic than a politic science. Less theory, more practical.
