Description
Polaris Sector Gold Edition contains the main game along with Lumens DLC!

The ancients who named this sector ‘Polaris’ sure had a unique sense of humor. Polaris - the bright star, the star of hope and faith. Well the Polaris sector has precious little of either; just a wilderness of gas, stars, and supernovas soaked in treachery, oppression, and the lust for power.

Can anyone build an empire in a place like this? Other factions are naturally suspicious of newcomers and may wage war at the first sign of unidentified craft. Here, a natural death is an uncommon luxury. You look weak? Pirates and scavengers will plunder your planets. You show military strength to discourage potential enemies? Your rivals will combine their forces to eliminate the threat.

Total domination requires many diverse stratagems. Shaking the hand of a powerful emperor, designing new warships in secret, investing everything in fundamental sciences to gain technology before your competitors - all may be the road to success. But will you have the time to implement your strategy? Will you be visionary enough to build weapons and technologies that will make the difference in battles fought decades from now? Find the right balance between fundamental and applied sciences to stay ahead of the opposition. Find the right balance between classic designs and crazy prototypes and your ships will be feared across the galaxy. Your engineers and scientists provide you a high level of flexibility, but it’s your decisions that will shape the empire’s fate.

Many a mercenary or adventurer has come here seeking wealth and power, and all their stories are now just whispers in the void. Polaris is a black hole for living species, and empires rise and fall in the blink of an eye. Maybe the leader that will bring stability to this zone hasn’t been born yet, if they will ever exist…
  • An epic and dangerous playground: randomly generate a galaxy able to host up to 900 stars.
  • Full customization: external threats, pirates, number of races… you can set up the world that fits your own tastes!
  • Full control over ship design: want to make a corvette into a drone carrier? Go ahead. Want to make a freighter into a scout? No problem. Your creativity is the only limit!
  • Explore: send scout vessels to find new mines to exploit, new planets to colonize, and to establish contact with other empires.
  • Innovative research system: technologies and equipment will get unlocked depending on your investments in fundamental and applied research.
  • Diplomacy: Dialogue with other factions to gain their favor, trade goods, and make military agreements to fight common enemies.
  • Command your troops: when a battle starts you can join the battlefield and maneuver your ships in a tactical mode. Alternatively use the auto-resolve mode when you have more urgent tasks to attend to in your empire.
  • Unique espionage system: seed false intelligence to enemy spies and lure them into a trap!

Avoid like the Plague!

The tragic thing is that I can see all the good ideas that went into the game but the implementation is horribly broken. The game is completely unbalanced. You have a 30 planet empire and come upon an AI civilization with 2 planets? Prepare to be steamrolled, on easy difficulty no less. I assume the AI is cheating it's way to victory. The UI is klunky and features that are designed to be helpful end up hurting you: you either have to trust the AI governor for your planets, which will happily stop all production and growth on the planet (Because who would want any of that, right?) or your stuck with micromanaging an ever increasing empire. Wherever you look in Polaris Sector, you find good ideas, that have been butchered in the implementation.

Awesome Game - One of my all time Favorites!

I buy this game today because it really is worth every cent - and I own it already. But I want to support the programmer AND want to play it anytime, anywhere. First buy was on steam. Thank you for this great game! I love it!

Do not forget Polaris Sector Star Wars

If you do not know, I have made for this game a complete Star Wars mod where you can play with several races from this universe, play with heroes, build the Death Star and even destroy planets with it. The version for the DLC is in development and it will add the First Order faction, you can find more at https://firefoxccmods.com Do not forget how you can create your own mod easily, in the Slitherine forum, I have published a complete guide http://slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=425&t=71102 and there are additional ships for to create your own mod.
