Relatively new to this game, still in my first foray, but I must say I can't recall a time when any other game in a LONG time (outside of maybe the Borderlands games) that I have just sat smiling even after exiting a session of play. I lost my first ship in my first battle. I've since eliminated those same pirates. I've colonized every world possible that I can either A) reach or B) have tech for. The tutorials are great and make it a joy to delve deeper into.

I quite enjoy it.

A bit further along now, losing lots of battles, but trying to defend myself from the enemy and just having a blast. Don't think I'll win (or survive) this first game, but Darn am I loving it. Great game and thank you everyone involved.

Welcome and really glad to read you are enjoying it! After a couple of games you will wNt to dig into the huge knowledge accumulated on this forum.
