review request- Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (PC) by FABIO, swearing off women for good 02/25/2005, 4:46pm PST
Mag reviews say it's epic and awesome.



I've wanted a tactical RTS space naval combat game so long and so badly it hurts. Homeworldd seemed like the solution, but unfortunately it turned out to be Age of Empires in the sense that it was all about just outproducing your opponent and hoping the rigid rock/paper/scissors unit combinations weren't stacked too heavily against you; actual battle tactics (beyond "order scissors to focus fire on enemy rock") were secondary.

Reviews make it sound like there's little or no unit production involved, which makes it sound more like Myth in space instead of AoE in space, which is a good thing.
