What this game is
The game is a turn based strategy game which can be played in two main ways. 1. As scenarios with their own storyline. 2. As a classic 4X game with some differences from the norm. You are in control of spaceships and/or land units. You can also build buildings on your planets which help with the economy, research and manufacturing. Also you can build orbital stations. You can build a variety of atmospheric units, various types of soldiers, tanks, artillery, planes, etc. These units can be used to defend a planet from an invasion, or loaded on specialized spaceships to invade an enemy or neutral planet. There are no seafaring vessels. Each "race", each "side" in this game has their own unique looking units, both space and "land". The spaceships you can build are similar to classic "navy" ships on Earth. You have the battleships, the submarines, the gunboats, etc inspired spaceships. Also you have support ships like the Tenders and others. When you have the option, you can build any type of unit where applicable, and pick the research level of the unit you build. As long as you can do that. You can always build lower tech units which are not as good, for financial reasons etc. The space movement/war takes place every turn. If there is a war going on on a planet, then you get to play several turns of that planet war, before you play on the space theatre. So each space turn has several planet turns if there is a fight. When those turns finish, you are back in space, play, end turn and next space turn you have another turn on the planet battle(s). I hope I made sense. The game mechanics are obviously heavily influenced by the Star Series (or General games for everyone who is not SSI) and they work great. I always prefer to play the "4X" type of game as I like the open ended and size of them over the scenarios. There is limited diplomacy based on bribing. Still better than MOO where the AI can capture a planet without war. VG game.
