Stardock has done a superb job with the graphics and shipbuilding aspects of the game. The multiple ways to build a ship and make it unique is very intriguing and fun!! At the same time, the ability to create fleets makes the game that much more enjoyable. A fleet of unique ships that the user built makes for hours of enjoyment. The planet management also has more depth, but not so much to where it is overwhelming. Specializing certain planets is a unique strategy that adds so much more options to the player!!
I like how Stardock has made the game playable in fullscreen for high resolution or HD monitors (Firaxis, are you listening?). The game looks great on my 50' DLP!
Overall, great game!!
