How it feels
Commanding vast fleets and colonizing star systems feels like a slow-burn, calculative struggle for galactic dominance.

What players say
Players call this one of the best space RTS games ever, praising its real-time battles and simple but deep economy. Many return for massive fleet fights on huge galaxy maps, and a dedicated modding community adds fully realized Star Wars and Star Trek conversions. A few note that mod support was reduced for the sequel.
