I've been playing through the training game over the past few days.
There's really a lot of depth here.
The economic model is particularly intriguing.
The setup encourages cooperation over combat, which should make the universe a friendly place for new players.
Anyone with an itch for a slow-burn multiplayer 4x should give it a look.

Guess no one made a post on the new game that started a few months ago.

We are now in end game and it's been pretty wild. Several realms are in all out battle for end game winning with huge ships being deployed and destroyed. Been a real fun one thus far.
