E_look I am liking SFC1 so far. I actually got my butt handed to me by the AI in skirmish mode. The AI was using T bombs effectivly, plus I was trying to set my energy priorities, which I found you can only do by adjusting your speed.
The speed of the game is faster. Speed 4= roughly 7 in sfc2. There is no conquest mode so I gotta play the campaighn.
I see planets now. Can't remember the last time I saw a planet in conquest mode.
Also even the tutrials can be fun where they send 1 ship after another indefinately.
But what really surprised me. Is the screens after a mission look a bit more modern in design than in SFC2.
Only real downside is I have to remove the I-maps in the mod file which will take more time to add ships.
But yea it makes the game kinda new again for me
