I would love IG3 to be made.
This tbh. Nexus the jupiter incident just showed how amazing this game could have been. Just seems like it was too ambitious.
I remember IG2 killing my PC of the time
Gah, I wish I had IG1. IG2 doesn't support any good resolutions, and there's no windowed mode, which I really need to be able to play as I have 2 monitors. I'd love to play more IG
Does the OpenIG have a windowed mode option?

- Starmap modified do disallow attacking fleets and planets of the same group in skirmish.
