A few questions about the game.

[Karri]

I just found out about this game yesterday,and it's got me interested.

I have a few questions,though,about some of the game's features.

The combat system is a tactical one.Is this a fully tactical interface?I'm not looking for Starfleet Battles,but I'd like more control than just committing a fleet and watching them fight it out.

I've noticed many mentions about people altering game files.I have little experience in this.Is this a prerequisite to being able to play?I'm looking for a game that I can install,and after that I don't need to do much else with it.

This leads to another question-multiplayer gaming-will I need to be able to alter files if I want to play with someone who has modified their Version?

Back to Tactical Combat.It's not as important to me as tactical in space,but is there ground based tactical combat?

From what I've seen,this game shows a lot of promise,but I'm not one to even go for a demo without having some idea as to what the game's about.Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
