Best alien , Strategy game I ever played got it few weeks ago and love it. Its a kick ass turn based PC game. It cannot be ran on a low end PC but its not super demanding either and simply beats out all games close to it.

Its not that expensive either $30 at wal-mart near were I live. Its not like command and conquer its turn based but its not horrible like most turn based games this one easily slides into my top favourite games.

Look at the screen shots or videos If they have videos.

Great thing is you can almost make your ships look like Star Trek ships or anything you want them to be. Look at the site great game. Hope you did not already play this one because its great.
