Set Phasers to PEW

I got many hours out of this with my buddies and solo, it's one of those games that improved with every new expansion as well. It does get a bit formulaic once you've played enough but the combination of a relatively straightforward 4X strategy layer, with ship customisation that you could see in action in an RTS layer, was an excellent blend at the time and still is, while every species is different enough to change how you approach the game.

excellent game

a lot of variety in playing style between races, well developed tech tree, decent physics engine during the combat sequences, and the ability to arrange the set up in several ways means youre going to sink a lot of hours into this game

Unplayable

Five times tried to start a game and five times i've got only problems unable to start a second colony. Invencible aliens, cost prohibitive planets. And I was trying on easy jut to get the bearings
