Is it just me, or does the scientist for the humans looks exactly like Sean Connery?

Yes, quite a bit, now that you mention it...

Why play MOO2 when MOO3 is already out?
(I mean Birth Of The Federation btw, by some of the same developers)

You know ? I 't think I even played the humans. I'll have to check it out now and there's already not enough time for SMAC !

I REALLY DO WISH THAT WHEN I DELETE THE INEVITABLE SEMI COLON WHERE THE APOSTROPHE SHOULD BE, THE FLAMING CURSOR WOULDN'T MANAGE TO DELETE THE BLEEDING LETTERS BEFORE IT TOO. THAT'S THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS !

BotF is not MOOIII.
It's pretty & got some great features but it falls down when it comes to replayability & diversity (I want my 50+ different techs!, I like my ships with far too many lasers!).
I think the designers were hampered by the restrictions in put place by Paramount to remain absolutely true to the TV series.
btw did you hear the rumour that the BotF crowd are working on MOMII? (that's Master of Magic for you uninitiated).

I noticed that, last night.
I ran across that game Sunday in the bargain bin, picked it up for $15 US and have been losing sleep all week.
For all of you who stayed up hours past bedtime to finish your game... When you are offered the chance for victory by "vote", do not accidentally click "refuse governorship (or whatever that said)", particularly when you haven't saved in two hours or more.
Not that that's happened to me or anything.

Yes they do get a bit cross.

ok there are only 3 turn based games i play
1) SMAC (well dur)
2) UFO/X-COM
3) MOO II
BotF is crap
only 10 techs per feild
cant design your own ships
dont get wiped out by the crystaline entity on turn 3
but i will admit that the diplomacy is better than MOO II
well c u later

Dreadnought:
Take a look at the other humans too.
The scientist is Sean Connery, the diplomat is Patric Stewart (Picard from TNG) and the soldier is Jonathan Frakes (also from TNG)
And I have seen a picture of Centerfold Stacy Sanchez that look more than a bit like the Elerian diplomat.

The soldier? Do you mean the spy? I don't recall ever seing a soldier.....

Never played the humans, but there are definitely soldiers on the tech development screen, if you conquer someone with a technology you don't have.
