As a huge fan of empire building games with a combat element, like Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, Star Wars Rebellion, Outpost 2, etc, I'm loving this game. The combat appears to be where it could be most improved, both the aggressiveness of the AI. And improving managing a space battle (never thought I'd see a more simplified version of combat than birth of the federation.)

This is NOT startrek armada, and this game focuses more on the diplomacy and economy management.

A good followup to Birth of the federation.

Love Star Trek, Love Stellaris.

This game is terrible.
