For us old-timers here: A MoO tabletop game is in the making!
Polygon has today posted an article called "Master of Orion tabletop game to launch crowdfunding campaign next week", talking about that a launch of a crowd-funding campaign is imminent!
Classic civs like Psilons, Klackons, Darloks and Silicoids will be on-board, as well as e.g. Deathstar ships.
The trailer looks interesting, and a whole 3h gameplay video is also available at the crowdfunding website here.
