Probably the best 4x sci-fi strategy game of this generation made from some small company. It is an excellent title
The "standard 4X" features that you would expect are basically all there, and are well done but the ship building in this game is the real fun. Ever want to customize your dream spaceship? You get to decide where everything goes, powerplants, command infrastructure, weapon systems, power infrastructure, fuel...when i mean everything i mean it.
Anyyway, if you like 4X space games, and you love customization i highly recommend it.
Another thing that needs to be said is that the fleet management in this game is pretty innovative, and eliminates a lot of tedious micromanagement that you see in other 4x type of games.
