As the title says I installed the Tropical patch and the game asks for CD

I remember somewhere that your weapon range dictated your viewing range on the battle map. I.e., when you can't see and fire at enemy ships until they come into range. Do the eccm and sensor arrays do anything?

I just bought Master of Orion 1, 2 and the new Master of Orion. I was about to get Master of Orion 3 for completionist sake but the reviews are really bad. Which has made me rather apprehensive about buying this game. So is it still worth getting. Is it really truly awful or just does not stack up to the other games in the series? Note: Never played any MOO games before....
