El rts 4x espacial por excelencia ha anunciado una continuación nueva que unirá el juego y expansiones anteriores bajo un sólo juego con un nuevo soporte para mods, más historia, mejoras en la IA y el juego en general.
Para quien no lo conozca, es un juego bastamente complejo en posibilidades y opciones, que podría declararse el sucesor de Master of Orion 2. Un universo con miles de sistemas solares y decenas de miles de planetas, razas, diplomacia, guerra, diseño de cada nave de forma individual, gestión y control de un imperio, batallas en tiempo real, etc etc.
El juego no se publica en steam y sólo se vende a través de Matrixgames un distribuidor especializado en juegos de estrategia nicho, lo que hace que desafortunadamente pase desapercibido para muchísima gente. La salida en mayo.
Truly Epic-Scale Galaxies: play in galaxies with up to 1400 star systems and 50,000 planets, moons and asteroids. Vast nebula clouds spiral out from the galactic core, shaping the distribution of star clusters in the galaxy
Private Enterprise: the private citizens of your empire automatically take care of mundane tasks like mining resources, transporting cargo, migration between colonies, tourism and much more. This frees you from micro-management and instead allows you to focus on a macro-scale
Intelligent Automation: automate the various tasks in your empire, so that you can focus on the areas that you enjoy most. Or have your advisors make suggestions in different areas like colonization, defence or diplomacy – helping you learn the best tactics and strategies
Explore: explore the vast galaxy, discovering valuable resources, potential colonies for your empire and making contact with other empires. Uncover secrets that lift the veil on the galaxy’s mysterious past...

Defend: patrol the outlying areas of your empire to protect from raiding pirates or dangerous space monsters. Construct defensive bases at your colonies. Build up your fleets to defend against enemy empires. Recruit troops to invade enemy colonies and conquer the galaxy!
Diplomacy: interact with other empires, discussing treaties, making trade offers or just giving them a piece of your mind. Talk to pirate factions, tapping into their underground information, or paying them to do your dirty work for you...
Espionage: covertly seek out information about other empires, or even disrupt their progress with acts of sabotage
Research: develop new technologies for use in building your own unique ships and star bases
Characters: including Leaders, Admirals, Generals, Ambassadors, Governors, Agents and Scientists, all with defined skills and traits and the opportunity to advance and improve
Design and Build: A very flexible system allows you to design and build the ships and star bases in your empire. Construct mighty military ships ranging from escorts to carriers and dreadnoughts at your space ports, or build mining stations, research installations or secret monitoring facilities at remote locations throughout the galaxy
Choose your Playstyle: Start with a single planet and sub-light ships, or as an established space-faring civilization with warp drives. Play as a Standard empire or as a Pirate faction, with many adjustable victory conditions and gameplay choices depending on your actions.
