Has anyone else played this? If your a Sci-fi strategy gamer, this is the game for you.

It's graphic quality is pretty good, the playability is excellant. I could literally be glued to the computer for hours playing this.

What's it about?

Basically, its 4x Empire building. there are three factions:

TEC: Trade emergency coalition. A human alliance of worlds based on trade. The Emergency coalition is the military branch

Advent: 1000 years ago, A TEC colony was found to practice "Unacceptably" weird religious ceremonies. The TEC expelled them from their world. Advent are the descendants and they want revenge.

Vasari: A race of agressive people. 10,000 years ago they controlled a countless empire, spanning millions of star systems and planets. Then...one by one the worlds went dark. Silenced. They sent in a flotilla from the infamous Black fleet, the only Vasari fleet remaining. Only one battleship returned, literally falling apart, its crew insane with fear. The Vasari began a mass fleeing of their worlds. now they have reached TEC space.

You have to colonize planets and asteroids, seperated by Phase points (the FTL travel) and build your empire.

Hm, looks interesting.

What i like, is it is quite slow and relaxed. A small map can literally last 6-8 hours. I am a strategist at heart, i dont like masses of fast paced action. This is the game for me. i Build a massive Advent fleet, and blow the hell out of everything i see.

It certainly looks pretty. Is it strictly strategy, or does it alternate with "shooter" mode? Turn-based?

No turn based. No shooter. You build ships and send them to blow things up.

Hmm, I may check to see if any local shops have it.

They should, its brand new.

I'll keep an eye out for it the next time I'm in town.

Looks really cool. I'm not a big gamer, but I like that style and it really is good-looking.

Each race has its own style.

TEC: not advanced. uses tough armoured ships. fairly balanced.

Advent: Weak hull, strong shields and advanced laser/plasma weaponry. Cheap and in large numbers

Vasari: expensive, powerful ships. Use phase weaponry. Very strong hull but few in number.

Its on my list of things to buy. One of these days I'll find a true substitute for Homeworld.

Oh, I like this. Sounds very fun. They need more Space Based games. A B5 game would be great!

That it would.
