The long awaited fighters, bombers, and carriers have made their way to Endless Space 2 with the recent patch.  Of all the 4X space games out there, Endless Space 2 is the rock star.  While I would like a nice turn-based combat system like the old MOO and MOO2, I can't have everything in a game it seems.  The only other game that takes my fancy like Endless Space 2 is the indie hit Stars in Shadow.  Stars in Shadow has one failing, I generally play 4X games on my Mac and it does not have a Mac port.  In any case, if you get a chance to grab Endless Space 2 on sale (like it is currently) or during any of the multitude of upcoming Steam Sales, it is well worth every penny.
