Startopia
Description
In the bloody aftermath of an intergalactic war between powerful alien races, a once-thriving network of starships, space stations, and planets are left lifeless and bear the scars of the apocalypse. As Stationmaster, it is up to you to rebuild the abandoned space stations, reunite the survivors, and bring the old Empire back to its former glory.
Populated by diverse alien species, such as the ecologically-minded and laid back Karmarama or the caring and gentle Dahenese Sirens, each space station comes to life with crime, trade, entertainment, racial tensions, and friendships. With these factors in mind, reconstruct and operate your station by managing the diverseand varied resident aliens while you also protect them against threats such as meteor showers, alien vermin infestations, roving bands of space pirates, and outbreaks of particularly virulent plagues. It’s not easy rebuilding civilization from the ruins, but the future is in your hands. Will you rise up to the challenge and build a Startopia that is ideal for everyone?

A much funnier version of DS9
I have played this game for over 21 hours on GOG's launcher where I also streamed it on Twitch and uploaded it via YouTube: https://youtu.be/t566yIlznS8 This was a real delight to play as a fan of such management sims as Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper and so on. In this game you play as an administrator of a starbase, however, you are often not the only person in charge of the starbase and there are others out to take over and take your place. In this situation, you have to take over sections of the base aggressively with the use of security staff and robots to hack the gates shut. Every mission of the campaign explores one or more of the specialised rooms, starting with incredibly useful ones like the recycler (turns ANYTHING into energy) up to more advanced things such as the Research Lab and the Bio Deck which is used both as a place of meditation and relaxation, but also a place to grow plants you can harvest for resources to either research or sell to trade ships, including a reoccurring character, Arona Daal who often sells you items that he obtains in a suspicious manner. The Hospital is also vitally important (joke intended) because certain illnesses are akin to the xenomorph from aliens and an alien visitor may die and out of their corpse comes a giant insectoid creature rampaging around the station! There is a lot of fun to had with this game, not to mention the humour in both character descriptions, but mostly in the AI who enjoys poking fun at you "organics" and often warns you about situations on the station that can happen such as deaths, traders, bomb placement and so on. Those are some big stations out there and they need an administrator to straighten it out!

Still great!
I loved this game when I was younger so much, I just had to buy it when I saw it here and it actually is still extremely good and fun to play. I'd recommend it to everyone up for a space-station.sim that doesn't take itself too serious.

Still my favourite
There are not enough well-executed space station sims out there, and this classic is one of the best ones.
