Starcom: Unknown Space is an action adventure RPG of space exploration, ship building and fast-paced tactical combat. Enter a vast open-world universe filled with alien factions vying for power, strange worlds to explore, mysteries to investigate, and a sinister enemy that threatens the galaxy with an ancient power.
Explore a fully-open world universe with over a hundred star systems filled with undiscovered planets, mysterious artifacts, lost derelicts, and strange phenomena. Over 230 anomalies to investigate, each uniquely illustrated and with their own story.
Transform your small scout ship into a powerful starship of your own design with an innovative shipbuilding system. Make a deep space explorer, a fast strike craft, or an armor-leaden battlecruiser. Experiment with different designs and share your blueprints with others.
Every new scientific discovery grants Research Points allowing you to unlock new modules and enhancements with a deep technology research tree. Choose techs that favor your preferred gameplay style: Upgrade your plasma cannons or unlock long range missiles? Better armor or shields? Unlock crew specializations first or a larger hull? 
The galaxy is full of unique alien factions each with their own motives. Decide who you will trust, trade with, hire, or vaporize. 
Fans of Starcom: Nexus should know that the overall game mechanics have remained similar (with a lot of improvements), this is not a direct sequel-- it is a brand new story. New players will not need to be familiar with the plot of Starcom: Nexus to jump right in.

A worthy successor
It's easier to talk about what I didn't like than what I did, because Starcom scratches the space exploration itch in nearly every way that counts. I didn't enjoy the story quite as much as the first one, and while the shipbuilding was dramatically improved, the glut of expensive weapons techs and the resource cost of a lot of modules meant I finished the game not researching or installing a significant number of ship systems. I also liked the introduction of a command staff to make things a little more personal, although I missed the 'crew' being at risk during away missions. My favourite quests from the first game involved crew members in mortal peril doing brave and heroic things to protect their shipmates- you don't really get that here when only the command staff land and they can't be killed. Overall, these are minor complaints. You can get more exhaustive descriptions of the gameplay and its mechanics in other reviews, I would definitely recommend this one to any fans of Star Trek, Star Control or anything in between.

i like the semi linear aspect of the game... fun story with a few options of how to go about things.

Can't stop playing it!
This is one of these games you think you will play just a bit, and when you look at the time, hours have passed. ^___^
