I haven't seen a grand strategy game with this tight of story integration before and that is pretty cool. The story is an interesting backs-against-the-wall sci-fi mortality tale that keeps coming every couple of game turns.

Normal difficulty is pretty tough. Every battle inflicts a lot of damage on your fleets. You end up spending a lot of time and resources patching up your fleets between battles. This is probably more realistic but I can see how this could be a turn off for players used to constant tactical snowballing.

I hope it has Steam Cloud saves support in the future. I want to transfer my saves automagically between my laptop and desktop. :)
