The original version from the 1990s was made by Microprose. 

 

WG have overhauled the graphics etc.

 

Not played the WG version but MOO1 and MOO2 were great (M003 involved too much micromanaging and was a bit of a chore).

 

EDIT: You can download WG's MOO for free if you complete a combat mission: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/master-of-orion/

Thank's for that. 

[Afghanicus]

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

I'll make sure to stay away.

 

Cheers!

so...they did this just to make players download the game center? and to be able to get more money from the camo bundles? LOL.
honestly its a nice game and i liked it. way more simple than other space games like sins or stellaris...which dont even have a tutorial so i cant seem to get into them.
their MOO has a lot of similarity with civ games or at least the one i played...beyond earth.

[Hanse77SWE]

Many hours and one complete restart later: Nothing.

 

EDIT: It only took 30 hours but now it's where it should be.

[barracuda_82]

Do I need to get just the first win or all the 4 stages? Because from the announcement of WG sites I understood that I get after the first win, but I may be wrong.

I didnt get anything. How can I redeem it?

 

[Body_Bag_Bert]

Down loaded and installed it but try as I might I cannot get this game to play.

It just locks up at the loading screen with the blue planet with the rings.

[HentaiSquirrel]

Nice freebie... thx f that. Though...

priding myself of reaching mutual understanding, even w/ s.o. whose language i neither speak or understand, hell even people w/ a mini-mental score < 20... but w/o this thread i woldn‘t have the foggiest idea, how this offer‘s supposed to work.

I took well over 24 hours before it popped up in my WGC. Click the "All Games" tab at the top and WoWs, WoT and all that jazz will be there and MoO will too after some time.

[MixuS]

Still no MOO. What a travesty. Nor any answer to my ticket.

[MixuS]

MOO appeared on WGC today for me, so over 24 hour delay.

Yep, had the same issue. It popped up this morning

[warstarter]

For those wondering how to get the MoO game for free:

1.  Click participate in the link here https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/master-of-orion/
2.  Play a battle (I dont remember if you have to win or not)
3. Profit (should be in your WGC  all games)

See my comment in this part of the forum, you dont need to spend a penny on any bundle for Master of Orion.

See this post (it sorted out the same issue for me):

I especially like that bit about the Legendary Modules now costing 19200 RP.

 

When Wargaming announced they would remove the mission chains for LMs and move them to the armory, for some weird reason, there was a subconscious reflex to immediately try to unlock as many of these missions as humanly possible.

And that reflex proved to be the right reaction, as unlocking these modules via the missions is much easier than regrinding at least one entire line to unlock a module now. Well, "easier" is the wrong expression, since it wasn't easy to do the missions either. It's rather a pretty expensive grind to unlock them now.

To unlock every LM for every line, theoretically a player will need to regrind every line at least once, given he can get the double bonus, which is renewed every 4 months iirc. So getting all 30 LMs will take the player around 10 years. Or the player can do it without the double bonusses, if he wants to finish earlier than 10 years. Then he will need to regrind every line almost twice.

 

Mind, I am not saying you have to regrind the line you want the LM for, I am merely making a statement as to the volume of grinding involved in unlocking a LM now. The mission chain for a LM usually took me around 80 battles, a bit less if I used the right signals and camos. (Re-)Grinding a line takes me around 160 battles, also using signals and camos. So for a player who did not unlock any LMs before the change, that means doing around 4800 battles, to unlock all LMs. Thats about the double the amount of battles, double the amount of signals spent and ofc 30 times the cost of rebuying the ships. I'd say almost a billion credits, given you would use the double-RP-bonus.

 

I am very glad my reflexes with news about this game are working as they do.

 

It's a bit sad tho, that as soon as changes are announced, the first reflex is "They are trying to hide a change to the disadvantage of the player base. Better try to mitigate what you can while you can."

But seriously...

Spoiler

Bayard's HE pen - pre vs post IFHE rework

	Bayard	other CL	Δ(pen)
WAS     w/o  IFHE	30 mm	25 mm	5 mm / +20 %
WAS     with IFHE	40 mm	32 mm	8 mm / + 25 %
IS     w/o  IFHE	30 mm	30 mm	nihil, nada, null, ...
IS     with IFHE	37 mm	37 mm	nihil, nada, null, ...

 

So - when do we get the 25% better HE penetration back that I fell for when I bought Bayard - and used to enjoy quite a bit - and srsly miss?

This sucks galore! Not that feeling cheated is an entirely new experience /w WG... still - this is business, and therefore a matter of principle.

 

Seriously... just give her 48 mm HE pen w/ IFHE and rectify this fu.

That's a serious kick in the Bullocks for Bayard, that was it's big selling point in the competition to win her, If you have premium ships they should keep advantages that are used to obtain cash from players, I suppose we  should expect little else nowadays, Alas "Balance" certainly means different things in different cultures.
