Amazing space born strategy, very fun once you get the hang of it. The game is exciting and fun to play, each race has very interesting abilities and advantages. Combine that with having a fleet that can be customized on how it fights, and you have the basis for an entertaining strategy game.

Edit: Even a decade later I still come back to this gem. The only other contender for a space RTS that I play is Stellaris, and where Paradox keeps pushing dlc onto its customers ironclad/stardock still gets updates even after all this time.

I appreciate it.
