Great game IMHO. Just look at my hours played which doesn't include play time before getting it on Steam. The "Bastard Sword of the Stars" mod is also great. I play both modded and un-modded versions. (I just wish they hadn't messed up SotS II. I see that there is some changes to it since launch so maybe I'll check it out again.)

Use LAN IP address to play with friends on the Web. Great Game, Good Balance and Flavors between races over all. Sword of the Stars 1 Great, Stay away from Sword of the Stars 2. Been Playing from before the 1st Addon races to the game when there was only 4 choices not the Current 6. Lots of Replay ability.
