Has anyone there tried Solar War

Definitively some good Aurora vibes here! Warning, most laptops not supported because of a need to support OpenGL drivers.

I tried it. I have about ten hours or so on it. I liked it, but it has a steep learning curve and I couldn't bull my way through. I'll probably go back at some point.
It's not a casual game, which is why I stalled out. Like Aurora, you need to invest time and effort into it to make it worth while.

Played it a while back, its solid, and has some replay value because of the different ways you can run your force and some tech choices.
I got about 30ish hours out of it over about 4-5 playthroughs.

Maybe this is what I need to tide me over until 1.12 is out. :)

I bought it when it first came out.
Its mishmash of various 4x games.
The Campaign map plays like a XCOM, with pauseable realtime gameplay. When you go into a battle, it plays exactly like MoO2, in the same turn-based style of game. With shield arcs and missiles taking several turns to make it across the screen before hitting the targets.
There is a research tree akin to Civilization. you start off with Corvetters and destroyers, then eventually unlock battleships and dreadnaughts, which replace the former.
There is also a officer management system giving bonuses to attributes on ships.
Its a good game, but only has a single player campaign, with the same campaign map (Solar system).
I wouldn't call it a 4X game. I'd call it a XCOM game.
