I agree. ;)
I hated it for about ten hours, but kept playing because there are fun ideas in there. I love the ground combat (probably because it's so much more detailed that the old MOO ship over your population and now they're soldiers ground combat). I still don't like the space combat. The real-time switch and the large maps are annoying ... sometimes you spend two minutes just hunting down a ship on the overly large map.
Now, after spending several days playing, I can see it's sort of fun. I don't like that modifier, but it's really not full-blown fun. I could easily put it down and never play it again, because it's just not interesting to play. The problem is, I keep thinking it's fun when I'm NOT playing. :lol: Yep, I'm confused.
Yeah, the mods are really great. I've been using them since the first day I got the game. In my opinion, the game is unplayable without the mods. The SitRep mod (I'm guessing that's what you're talking about) is really great. I wouldn't be able to play without it. I recommend the technology mods too, especially the one by kalbear with the tech levels, because otherwise you're not going to know what you're trading away to the computer (that is, if the computer wants to trade tech, but that's another story).
