Polaris Sector (0)

A space 4X game with some interesting designs for a seasoned genre. 4X stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. The game provides large systems to explore (up to 900 stars).

It has a unique approach to science where research is divided into three areas which are either broad or extremely focused. You may research broadly in a growth period then focus once you identify a much needed technology.

Ship design is also very flexible and lets you place individual components on each "floor" of the ship.

Game automation is also more helpful than in many games. For instance, players can pick a planet and choose "colonize and focus on farming". The game will then build a colony ship, fly it to the destination while avoiding conflicts, colonize it and then start building farming structures.

There is a variety of races each with their own ship types. Modding is supported.
