"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.
