I would buy it just for the pre-hyperspace game. I love to start games like these at the single solar system level.
After that, the GUI changes will be welcome, as I find the font hard to read on my monitor.
Everything else is icing.

RE: DW:S is near - what are you looking forward to?
I was wondering if they redid the ship hull classes. For example, a frigate would have hull space of XX and a destroyer alittle more, so on. Like MoO2 to research much larger hulls.
I couldnt figure out why to pack everything on a frigate of size 230, it get more space and still remain as a frigate. For instance, if you put 4-5 inches guns on a ship it would be a destroyer and 6 incher would be light cruiser and on. But that is what the navy is like in WWII.
Also noticed that when the game start from the beginning, you are not suppose to build resupply ship. There were a yellow warning that it cannot be build, but you can anyway. So i dont know if that is a glitch or what.

We didn't redo the classes, but automated design is much, much improved both in terms of the starting templates and the way the AI optimizes for size (thanks also to Haree for his yeoman work updating the design templates during the beta process).

Resupply ships and Carriers are hull types that you have to research for a normal start. Check the Starfighters tech tree and the construction tech tree for these.

Umm, pretty much all of it, new techs, pirate starts, GUI, ground combat...
Pretty much spoiled for riches.

GUI and graphics engine improvements.
The again, I wouldn't even consider the expansion, if it wasn't for the additional features.

RE: DW:S is near - what are you looking forward to?
Of the most interest to me:
- Ship capture.
- Pre-hyperspace start.
- Pirate gameplay.

RE: DW:S is near - what are you looking forward to?
I am looking forward to:
1) New Ground combat mechanics
2) Pre-hyperspace play
Pirate play looks very nice and well thought out and I will definitely try it but ultimately improvements on existing classic empire play interest me more.

Pre-Hyperspace, for me.
I always have a hard time getting into DW because you start, even with the minimal start, with a semi-developed little empire. I much prefer starting fresh and getting to experience those first few steps.
I'm also really looking forward to using Shadows as my 'jumping in' point to get back in the game. I haven't played much since before the expansions. Really hope I can get into it this time.

Kayoz highlighted my top 3 things too...I'm already trying to think of a good Pirate empire name to call myself!!
