More On: Master of Orion

We've finally received our first gameplay footage from the new Master of Orion game and it's about what you would expect.  Buried within an exceedingly stilted Galactic News Network (GNN) presentation is a few bits of the new exploration and combat screens as well as an introduction to two of the new races from the game.

It's interesting that players will manually drag and drop resources between each of the different planetary activities like manufacturing, food, and research rather than a simple up/down toggle.  It also looks like your facilities actually show up on the planet screen which is something I don't think we've seen in a 4X game before.
