First things first : I had plan yesterday night to try quickly the game, to asses its potential, 30 min max ... I ended up spending 2h30 !!! Great jobs, the strong points for me (not a complete list):
- easily readable map, all information available in largest zoom
- nice ships, beautifull battles
- tech tree vast but easy to grasp
- the "another turn" pathologie nicley adapted to real time strategie("ok, just 5 more minutes ...")

However, It would become, for me, the best game ever if :
- we could rename planets and even ships
- we could create battlegroups to use "hot keys" (Ctrl +1 then 1) so to create squadrons of different ships
- to allow the player to influence desygn and ships weaponry, so that playing the same race twice does not lead to the same expérience.
