TACTICS

This sounds just too orgasmic to be true.

[Firgof Umbra]

Well, everything has a downside.  Our ships don't animate so don't expect twirly Star Wars fighters, for instance.

Eh, who needs animation when we have tasty crunchy game mechanics? I play Aurora for god's sake. The space sandbox spreadsheet simulator.

[Sinistar]

Well, I'm not the one to bother much about superficial animation(s). If I understood it correctly from your post, ships in army groups behave differently in regards to their role and that behavior is noticeable in actual gameplay. And if I understand it correctly more, this is done (semi-)autonomously? That's all I need, really. 

[Firgof Umbra]

You understand correctly, aye.

[Sinistar]

Well, I guess it's finally time to buy this game, then.

[Firgof Umbra]

While the presently available experimental branch doesn't have the more final behaviors in it just yet (we're still tinkering with bits here and there to make each of them more handy) they are nonetheless available if you'd like to test their slightly more primitive initial version. 

Stable (the default branch) doesn't come with so if you want to check it out, you'll need to switch to Experimental. Instructions on how to do so are available here.

Official trailer's out.  We're releasing March 27th.

This game still looks good on paper but I really hate the trade mechanic.

Is there any way to have a planet trade routes built automatically, in game or as a mod?


Every time some random Plane is captured reshuffling all resources to keep that level four world ruining is a chore.

Now the game is starting to look interesting again.

I find that to be part of the fun, personally, as managing the worlds well shapes what your empire can do, but for a bit less micromanagement you can simply right click the planet and select "Auto Import to Level X" which will use any existing and future resources to attempt to level the planet.

You can auto-import and they will grab whatever they need provided you HAVE what they need but the trade system makes certain strategies possible, like targeting the enemy's water planets.
