So to me this new game looks like a turn based RPG where you level up your ships and go on quests instead of a proper 4x strategy game where you manage a galactic economy while building up a military?

Correct. It was never billed as a 4X game.

I wonder how easy to mod it will be? If so there could be a Starfleet Battles mod for Starships in the future.

But you can actually expand your empire, conquer the galaxy and wipe out other factions.  But I guess the meat of the game is still upgrading starships and tactical battles.

Just watched a few minutes of the gameplay section of the video that Bart posted and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised...just those few minutes did remind me of the galactic map from Star Wars: Empire at War.

Is that rustling sound you getting the wallet out again?

It's releasing very close to the relaunch of remastered Homeworld I and II...I should play those first.

For a 4x game - I'd hope so! ::) :2funny:

I'm assuming this will be available on Steam, but haven't seen a specific mention of that, other than "PC."
