When you conquer a new planet, you get a random event with multiple choices. It’s the usual “pet the puppy or kick the puppy” stuff, but with the choices being to pet the puppy, kick the puppy, or throw the puppy in a pain booth. Minus the option to pet the puppy. Space Tyrant doesn’t want you to feel obligated to play a good playthrough.
Thanks for the review. It reminded me I need to get back to this game. I would have used pain booths instead of stars for the rating. Maybe four with puppies inside and one empty. :)
Microwaving Marie Callender pot pies (actual time is 9 or so minutes) is JUST FINE, because the f’ing box and pan are designed for microwave use. You get a nice flaky crust and everything. And none of that burnt taste you get from the oven.

Oh, yeah: good review, Tom. One would think you should get paid for such quality content.
I have absolutely fallen in love with this game. And I’m still only getting to use the evil rabbits! I do wish there was a tad more explanation out of the gate (it took awhile to get the hang of combat, and figuring out that things like ship placement in the fleet actually matter) but overall it’s an amazing strategy game with enough tension in each game’s individual goals and tactics to keep me playing just… one… more… turn. Ok, just one… more… campaign.
