This is a fun past time game that turned into a very intricate and time consuming play! Its command and conquer style is very fun, the governing and settlement building is very fun. The race to explore and take over worlds before other races is always fun and challenging! Its crusader kings in space!
- Lots to do and manage
- very intricate
- Governing and polotics
- time consuming
- not a whole lot of mods

Always loved the strategic type of games, let alone the ones that can be played in space.
Harder to learn without guide, but nothing is impossible, and google is our friend :D.
Fairly good amount of content (but DLC's are welcome), the gameplay quickly got you in, so prepare for a longer session.
For me it is also really fun with friends, and with steam workshop the possibilites are endless.
Good game for a good price :).
