I don't expect much of this game. From the description I think StarDrive 2 follows the spirit of Master of Orion 2 more. It lacks tactical combat, but it is very MOO-2-esque in most everything else, including free-roaming hyperdrive. StarDrive 2 does have balance and AI issues though. If you more prefer a blend of MOO 2 and GalCiv2, try StarDrive 1 instead. StarDrive is structured (1 'turn' is a fixed unit of time) pausable realtime. StarDrive 1 & 2 are steam only.
