This is an incredibly bad game. The menus are MORE complicated than Rebellion (if you can imagine that). The graphics are similar to games from the early 90's, even the screen res will not go bigger than 800x600.
The AI is very poor, often doing things completely at random. Even worse, many of the things in your own empire are controlled by the AI and all of a sudden you'll notice that you are not in control of your own things.
