Got this in steam sale and I was a little overwhelmed but ive kept plugging away. Fleet and ship design is pretty useless, I was coming up with battleships supported by destroyers and bombers/fighters and losing everytime even against weaker opponents. I did a quick google and followed someones strat of just using missles/kinectic and armour 1/1 and now my fleets are unbeatable but its a shame as I was hoping to come up with fleets working together not just having a huge volley of missiles and then winning.
Diplomacy is none existent, anything I offer is never enough but they demand from me a lot more. I was happily building up my planets and creating fleets when all 4 factions declared war on me at the same time and obliterated me. (this is on easiest)
I managed to get peace built my missile barrage fleets and then declared war on the most powerful and destroyed there fleets and blockaided there planets but they are still making fleets somewhere and starting to wear my ships out. That's how far ive got, finding it frustrating but at same time I have to keep playing that one more turn.

Decided to start a new game and made sure that "blockade" was never ticked and advanced my race to take over the systems. I soon come across other system races and make sure my CEASE FIRE is researched and to be honest all is well. I then get demands of which I accepted some as they did not affect me too much, but then they go to war, there was no justification, just war. So I fought back, while any other races stood back and just didn't even get into any fights. Then that race made a cease fire with a planet as a reward, of which I accepted. But I could NOT bring my fleets back from a cease fire planet, it was stuck there, it would not let me move in a cease fire system. I was stuck.
Then all of a sudden another race goes to war with me, that's nowhere near me of what reason I don't know. They went from friendly to war! But none of the other races are fighting either
It goes on, the race that had a cease fire goes to war with me again, WTF? 5 turns in, it makes another cease fire and gives me a planet as a sorry. It does this over and over again before attacking me with a massive destructive force that pretty much came out of nowhere when none of their tech levels even fit the race I was fighting.
and again, another race goes to war with me, that's pretty much everyone fighting ME. They don't fight each other just ME and I can't build fleets quick enough to fight back, yet they can! They can build as many ships and fleets as they want and on checking the gold of every race, they have 10000's worth of creds and everyone is happy.
I've never played against such a cheating AI in a space strategy game before until now!
Oh and the space combat is bloody awful, it's highly addictive until the fleet spam kicks in, it's always this way

Completed my game, played against 3 AI's all friendly then one declares war on me I destroy his fleets and blockade his planets then all the others declare war so im begging for ceasefires, luckily they accept. During peace time I make about 12 fleets of 13 rocket destroyers and declare war on the most powerful, Wipe out his fleet and blockade every planet now up to 20 fleets of 10 and more. another AI declare war so I go to another and ask for alliance which is accepted. They were useless apart from protecting my planets, I take every planet then declare war on my allies and end the game.
No replayability for me as that was a chore to play.
