Star Command Galaxies is the ultimate starship simulator. Become Captain and recruit your crew, build your ship, explore a randomly generated universe and battle alien ships across the galaxy.

You start from humble beginnings in your very own shuttle, taking on various missions at starbases located on the galactic map. As you complete your tasks you will earn money, xp and equipment to help you hire new crew members and purchase a larger ship. Continue cleaning the stars of the vermin that inhabit it including zombies and space pirates.

With your success comes more challenges. Keeping your crew happy is critical to your success. You must keep them fed, well rested and entertained or they will pick up new "quirks" to their personality. A good captain will see their crew earn "perks" - personality bonuses that will help you battle your foes.

New enemies will arrive to challenge you and your crew and it will be up to you to create the ultimate vessel to defeat them.

Star Command Galaxies will be regularly updated with new races, missions, planets, equipment, ships and much more!

Me!!!

Again another one that has been on the mobiles for years, but this has been souped up a little.

It's sort of cross between Star Trek, The Sims, and FTL in pixellated isometric cuboid Xcom view.

It's a bit buggy currently. Launched, didn't start, hung. Launched, played through tutorial, some steps where a bit laggy and took a while to initiate. First kill of enemy with teleported board party and the game crashed. So you might want to hold off a little bit, till its been debugged a lot more. Early access though, so can't complain too much.

I suppose Sims in Space might be a good moniker for it. :)

Looks interesting.  Then there were the mention of Early Access bugs & crashing on the store page.  Will reevaluate in half a year.

Sounds like Cosmonautica, which I bought in Early Access and turned out to be a real disappointment.

Just an FYI that the Humble Store has a "special (https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/starcommand_galaxies_storefront)" version (same price as Steam) that includes an Exclusive robot and 2 exclusive hulls.
