Nah, I actually enjoyed the story, but IMO the first one was better.

The story in the first is better, yes.

But the gameplay in the second... Ohhh! Ohhhh! :nod:

Stopped being fun halfway through the campaign, so I decided to do something less annoying like, say, dishwashing or vacuuming my apartment.

The new interface was pathetic and stupid, along with most, if not all, of the new gameplay concepts.

The story was inbetween; ackward and interesting, but nowhere near as good as its predecessor(s).

The graphics were some of the sexiest I've seen in a game for a while. Ships were cool, and everything exploded nicely... but, bad story.

Fun game.  The only thing I disslike is that I end up spending too much time rushing for a BC then using other tactics.

And the backgrounds.  WTF?  Where in space is it yellow?

I think the point was that it is supposed to be so near the galactic core that the various stars are closer together and there is more dust to disperse the light.  That and it looks really good.

The enemy fleet is scaled according to yours.. its actually easier to beat if you have a small fleet... I beat the second last mission with nothing but Destroyers and Frigates.. and the Dreadnought of course...

What Thorn said.

And the only reason the odds would be that way, is if you cheated on your resources. The more resources you have; the more ships the enemy has.

Yeah... I found that out the hard way the second time I tried to beat it :p
