Im a long time Battlecruiser nut. I got the original version that was released, and was thouroghly entrenched. (This, regardless of the stupid publisher who thought releasing an unfinished game that so irked most who bought it that they blammed SC for the entire fiasco).

Last year, I got, with a 5 month separation, BMG and UC. As you can guess, I can't get enough.

Now, I know from experience, that a DX 8.x game running under 9.x can be a bit flaky. These last 2 games proved that point but ONLY after DX was upgraded to 9.0c (still have no clue why).

Now, I want better. I saw that UCG was ported to DX9 compatability, and AWA as well.

My question is, should I upgrade to UC-AWA or wait for BCNG?

This might become moot in the next month or 2, since I REALLY want AWA, but should I wait?

SC has put more effort into this series than most any other game developers can claim. And the quality shows.

So should I? Or wait like some slavering Insergent waiting to ambush a ship with new tech on it?

You'd better get UCAWA since BCNG - if it ever happens (we're focused on XBox360 titles now) - is several years away.

Right. Got it. Will get it next month. (drools)

BTW, saw the demo, was able to do some of the IA mish's, cant seem to do the 'Last Man Standing', cause I can't see the hostiles. Most annoying.

There's something called Tacops. You might want to use it.
