Before you downvote this post . . .
. . . go on YouTube and look up a series entitled Let's Play: Sword of the Stars - it is for the Complete Collection too. A video in this case is worth a thousand words. Watch episodes 1 and 2 and then an advanced episode or two - when many systems are already colonized. If you do as I suggest, you will find that: - The 3-dimentional galaxy map, where you spend 90% of your time doing your turns, is a convoluted mess of giant text labels, excessively wide travel routes and tiny planets where it is very hard to orient yourself, especially when a dozen travel routes by several civilizations are highlighted - Each race has only 3 classes of ships: destroyer, cruiser, dreadnought, and ALL ships for a given race look identical regardless of configuration except for their size, e.g. cruisers are identical to destroyers, only 3 times bigger - Real-time space battles are painfully slow as your ships take forever and a half to do what you tell them to, and you must wonder if your orders matter . . . and half the time it looks like they don't - Auto-resolve battles is broken - you can lose your huge fleet without even scratching the enemy or you can destroy the entire enemy fleet without losing any ships - The Tech tree is great: technologies are meaningful and the tree is dynamic - it changes from game to game, BUT it is not quite usable because it is a race to bigger ships and guns, and you are unlikely to research 90% of the techs, such as Translate X language. As the result Diplomacy does not exist. It consists of telling your allies to defend or attack something - There are no planetary invasions - No amount of planetary defenses will stop the enemy from destroying your planet - Colony management is nearly non-existent This game has many good ideas which are poorly implemented. Low price does not make a good game. The problem here is not paying for it. It is wasting time to learn the hard way what I described above. Save time and money. YouTube it.
