Not literally of course the game's entirely turn based. Here though, right now, if you see an alien ship, it's guaranteed to go for the throat, so you have to hit it faster. It's a somewhat odd experience when you play like I do-aiming to establish empires based on mutual trust, brotherhood, and backstabbing with a comfortable advantage.
Admittedly, when it's shared with the likes of the Drengin, that's probably not going to change any time soon, but in the new Galactic Civilizations III beta, you enter a universe where diplomacy literally doesn't exist. The galaxy's not very civilised at the moment.
