Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection

Turn based strategy old style

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.

Best tech and battles

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.
