Master Of Orion III announced

I was in Holland while E3 was going on over in Los Angeles, so I missed this before... So a big thanks to ZDim for sending word that Microprose have announced "Master Of Orion III", the latest in the classic turn-based space strategy series. Apparently the new game will allow up to eight players to fight over galaxies three times as large as in the last installment of the series, and combat will now be real time while the rest of the game remains turn-based.
