I am soooo hooked... Basically it's a space turnbased strategy/sim game.
After purchasing, you can expand the game with freebie bonuspacks adding more options and technology. Run the patches offered on the site for more functionality/tweaks (Not just bug fixes)
Used to play Masters of Orion and this game is just like it, but more challenging and very addictive. Replayability is huge.
One tip: Quality > Quantity in this game

Zerging doesnt work(This is what generally ruins a game for me, so big plus here)
Gonna play it more and see if i can post more info if ya guys are interrested.
