Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)

[AgentZero]

Forgive my unarticularity. I will attempt to be a bit more clear in the future, though I have no doubt that I will fail miserably.

Ahhhh, the joys of interstellar combat. Tiny little pinpricks hurling even smaller pinpricks back and forth at each other, puctuated occasionally by an impressive pinprick. Still, it's a bit better than Hegemonia (Hegemonia: Legions of Iron, 2002, Dreamcatcher Interactive). That was an extremely pretty game, and still is, but I played nearly the entire game from the strategic map, coz otherwise I got whupped.
