Well at first I thought the game was cool, but as the turns go on and you begin to explore more and more of the galaxy, the cracks begin to appear.

Starmap: When you discover a decent amount of planets, the display gets very confusing to navigate, often leading to selecting the wrong planet or even losing your planet all together. Its a nice concept but a 3D view like this is not very practical.

Fleets: Making your own ship designs is a lot of fun. You can make a ton of ships too and it is fun to see them blast the enemies to pieces in 3D, but as with the planets, it is a little confusing to keep track of them and where they are.

Research: This is very fun too. Nothing like a good extensive tech tree to keep the imagination going.

In all, it's a good effort for 4x game and I definatly recommend giving it a try.
