This game is awful. It is ancient, buggy, unstable and requires mods to make it remotely playable. It doesn't have half the features Stellaris has. I don't know how I've played it for 600 hours or how the ship design and combat is somehow better then games with 100x the budget and time. This game is a trap. You need to not play it. In fact, you need to run, right now before this buggy crap takes 600 from you too. It's too late for me, save yourself!

Old but interesting with still one or two active modders keeping things fresh.

Older game with good ship design and decent AI. Turn based.

One of my ol time favs in the 4x space genre, played III and IV a ton back in the day. Still unique for the level and ease of modding and there is a long list of great ones. Notably Captain Kwok's Balance Mod (still being updated, with the last release in June of this year!), Crimson Mod, Un-Named Ai mod, and Nova Mod. I've mostly played Kwok's BM and it's the best place to start (don't waste your time with vanilla game), this guy is a legend of his craft having played these games for 25 years and knows how to put together a comprehensive, balanced (wink) and enjoyable mod experience. It's a shame we may never see a SEVI given the rights were sold off many moons ago. Shout out to Aaron and Kwok for the many hours of blood, sweat and entertainment they've given the fans.

Great game. Simply put, it is the best space 4X in existence to date (and I have played many).
