The expansion for sword of the stars adds a lot of improvements to the game including AI tweaks(more challenging),new research content and weapons plus a new race with specific sounds. The first thing you'll notice about this game compared to others is the 3D research interface in which youll be spending a lot of time. The research is divided into different trees that connect at some point with each other. The colonizing part of the game is quite simple and after u conquered a new planet all you need to do is build some infrastructure and terraform it. The ship design window is where you will be planing your ultimate masterpiece in terms of war. The hull size(destroyer,cruiser or dreadnought) and the weapons will be available if you research them. The only bad part in this game would be the timed combat and the fact that the ships don't always listen to your commands.Control could be a little annoying but eventually it has the same outcome.
