I love this game! Yesterday we played Eclipse with four players (two Terran and two Magellan). I played Magellan and picked up improved hull, fusion drive and then the Axion +3 computer. Combined with the default +6 source for my race I had a nice design for a cruiser (fusion source and drive, +3 free computer, four hull leaving 4 energy for an antimatter cannon). Then the antimatter splitter appeared and I took it, counting on the antimatter cannon appearing soon enough and making my four cruisers a force to be reckoned with. But it did not appear the next round, or the round after and after. My fantasticly awesome cruisers only fired one ion cannon per round. There were two plasma cannon techs that were bought by the other players before me and beside that not a single weapon! No plasma missiles, flux missiles or antimatter cannon in nine rounds!So I learned a valuable lesson. Without energy, guns, drives, computers and shields will be a pain to equip, but after getting energy, a better gun than Ion should be top priority!
