"Space combat is easily the best part of the game, with ships jockeying for a superior position over one another to weaken the other's four shield quadrants and land the killing blows (and requires the utilization of a variety of cool bridge officer abilities to spice things up, like boarding shuttles or shield-weakening tachyon beams) while the beautiful graphics engine provides a surprisingly good representation of the action." |

Where the game truly excels, as expected, is in its avatar customization. You have the ability to create custom aliens that are beyond the wildest dream of even most sci-fi movie budgets and to have a strong guiding hand in every aspect of how your crew looks, from the length of their nose down to the color scheme and design of their uniforms. |
