Perhaps i wasn't clear enough.What about the GSB as a battle system of a 4X space game?
One can dream :)I agree it would be great to have a 4x space game using GSB, if done right it could quite possible be the best thing ever.

Looks like there is going to be a scenario editor in GSB soon. Cliffski is hoping to get it into patch v1.28Here is a pic of it

Bought the game, well worth it.It's a good game in the sense of tactics; some ships are better in some spatial environs, upgrades are made available as you advance, heck, you can build your own ships with hulls provided. Set 'em up and cut 'em loose.The modding community seems really active and I'm anticipating more ships and scenarios via this community.

Here is a preview video of The Swarm Expansion Pack the Gratuitous Space Battles. I like the some of the new ships and those explosions are great.[gametrailers]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/the-swarm-gratuitous-space/65285[/gametrailers]-

The netbook should be able to run it, but I think it may be some thing to do with the graphic requirements.

Thats a shame Pinback, I hope you can get it to run. I've had a lot of fun with GSB lately.

Sadly I think it going to have to wait until I get the big box computer back.

New expansion is coming for GSB, can't wait until this game is packaged together with all of its expansions.http://positech.co.uk/gratuitousspacebattles/parasites.html

Just realised that I am now using my old computer and should be able to run it without any problems.Will have to look and see if there is a demo.
