a deep, turn-based strategy game where you methodically manage an empire, design ships, and watch 3D space battles unfold at your own pace.

What players say
Players are torn: many praise the deep ship design and endless replayability but warn that the game is riddled with bugs, crashes on modern Windows, and needs the Balance Mod to be playable. Some call it a precursor to Stellaris with better ship customization.
