It occurred to me that ET Thursdays has become the entertainment related thing I look forward to all week. I was never really one to get excited about shows, with a couple of notable exceptions. And I'm pretty sure while the hype for the game plays a solid part into it, I actually really enjoy seeing the antics of @Wiz and @cKnoor on the stream.

Further more -

I am really really excited to see how things turn out when the war kicks off against the Just League.

Seriously. To hell with those Jerks.

So thanks guys for making a really great Stream. Can't wait for Thursday. Also - can't wait for May 9th.

I want to see the filthy Just League crushed and split apart. Then I want to look at what happened to Earth. Likewise, I just rewatch the Blorg videos on YouTube.

I'm excited to finally see what war is like. The earlier war was only a walk-over, but this time the foreces are more equal.

Also probably the AI and war mechanisms should have had comed a little longer in development.

I too have come to look forward to Blorg Thursdays as the highlight of my week. I'm left wondering though, once the game comes out will I still be as bothered? I'd like to think so; and I hope the weekly stream will continue after game release. At least for a while.

You can confuse them with something like " blorg are coming" or something like that :p
I know everyone will pelt me with cabbage as soon as I click "post reply," but I'm actually not a huge fan of the whole "Blorg," "friendship," shtick. I'm just super, super excited each week to see more of what looks like a truly amazing game.

Hehe, I know what you mean. I actually enjoy Martin and cKnoor's antics, but some of my friends don't. But we all love watching and learning more about the game :)

The typed in names of naval forces keep reverting to unfriendly ones. Will this be fixed?

In games with naval elements there are usually battle fleets but many ships on other duties in smaller "fleets" for various purposes. Maneuver can be very important, but in some games the power stack wins. Would like to see more of that.

Can a rebellion be supported by non-military means such as trade deals, espionage activity etc.? Or an enemy undermined? "Support Rebels" is quite useful. To get the Just League to Just GIve Up some prior undermining seems in order.

BTW What kind of espionage other than routine scanning Is there in the game?
