This is one of those games where you blend genre. As it's a turned based strategy with real time ship combat. That has modular ships where you select modules such as different bridges and center sections being the role it fulfills and the different propulsion types as you progress research. You also get freedom of choice with the weapon types your ships use with randomized research on every new game adding flavor to keep it fresh and a large tech tree. And distinct races with some interesting quirks on how they play. If you can look past the older graphics, it's truely a classic to me and It truly deserves a remaster.

Love the game not the gamer.

This is one of the best and most original Sci-Fi games ever made. I dont think you can call yourself a 4x fan if you have never heard of it. Its just an absolute jewel. Also do not buy the second game. it was released in pre-alpha state and never fixed. There were some fan attempts; But lets say its not the easiest coded game around.

it is a good offline space game to pass the time with, not fancy but well built and entertaining.

Awesome 4x/rts game. The unique FTL drives for each race and randomized tech tree give this game a lot of replay ability. Runs fine for me in windows 10, haven't tried win 11, and could not get it to run in proton, but I believe there's a patch for that somewhere. Would love it if someone could find and post the old mods somewhere.

The old style sci-fi call backs and over the top weapons makes this my favorite 4X of all times, and not a bad multi player. Some of the user contgent / revision packs balances the game well. And the <censored> menace is chefs-kiss. Sure it has a learning curve, the AI cheats, and the graphics and UI are old. It is still one of the most enjoyable and replayeable games out there.
