This game is dope. Its Space 4x games for smart people, or less pertentiously people that want a more grounded experience and like to role play1 found this helpful
didn't expect to like this one as much as I do, still a lot to learn but I can see sinking a lot of hours into this and space empires 4 deluxe.
Keeps saying error and wont start on my win 11(it says it will work on 10+). It used to work fine on my win10. Somebody said it was the last update?
Fantastic game. Shame it's mired by bugs and a lackluster AI. Also have heard, but not confirmed, that there are issues with windows 10.
no longer works
Very detailed, granular game - too much for me. If you love placing each component on each ship design (and hand-crafting all the upgrades) you will enjoy. Having spent several hours on the tutorial, I was determined to play a regular game through, to give the game a chance to grow on me, but in the end I was quite relieved when it crashed.
