Sid Meier... yes!

Beyond Earth universe... yes!
Starship design and tactical combat... yes!
Exploration... yes!
PC and Mac support... yes!
iPad support... nooooooooooo!
I was pretty excited up until I read that it was coming out on the iPad. It isn't a knock against tablet hardware, which is pretty powerful these days. The problem is the interface. Sacrifices will be made to support a touchscreen-only setup. It'll probably result in a more shallow game. Remember how Civilization Revolutions worked out on the console? Notice there hasn't been a sequel.
Sadly, this has 'casual' or 'Lite' written all over it :(
