Worthy effort but still very early release (as is reflected in the price). Fair number of bugs (didn't run into anything major) that developers quickly address. AI is not very aggressive so winning is not a major challenge. Functionality continues to be added. Graphics are average at best. Good balance that keeps you engaged until you have to take on Rigel and Arcturus.

Lord of Rigel is a total frustration. Endless bugs. Horrible Design and hardly playable. All the hard work of testing, thinking and endless Bug-reporting is done by the paying customers instead by the Dev. And after sacrificing many hours to thoughtfully explane some of the bugs in detail, often the Dev twisted my words and made excuses instead of fixing the bugs.
It also has countless Design choices not making sense and giving a complete frustration instead of happiness. The answer from the Dev was only a stubborn: ''We are not going to change this.'' allthough me and others asked him to put more meaning and commom sense to his game. Others and me had no other choice than uninstalling and forgetting this game after the frustration was not bearable any more.
In my opinion is Lord of Rigel also not suitable for children because there is Transsexual perverted content hidden in the game. In the Diplomatic screen you have to suffer the view of a male man with male nose, male face but with boobs, hair and a boddyexpression of a woman. I personally and probably most other people feel disgusted about this. I wrote a comment and expressed my honest opinion in a factual reasonable and respectful way about this. I honestly expressed that I don't like a game being abused for pushing the perverted sexual Trans-Gender-Agenda in the mind of innocent children. It is my constitutional right to express my opinion about this. And this my opinion was regarding the content of this game, NOT something else.
Yet the Dev did ban me permanently from the Lord of Rigel Discussions instead to answer and explane me in a reasonable way why they do this. In order to ban me, he hipocrital fabricated the excuse of so called ''hatespeech''. This was very unprofessional. Becaus it was a lie. To express my honest opinion about the content of his game is my right, and to express the fact that I don't like a particular content of his game, this is NOT hatespeech. He has no right to obligate me to like every aspect of his game.
After I regretet to waste money and time for this game and the way I was treated from the Dev after investing dozens of hours to help him finding bugs and improving his game. For this game was a frustrating experience and I will ask a refund.
PS:
Ace, it is very pathetic and unprofessional that you publish here lies about me. I did NOT commit so called ''hatespeech.'' The real problem here is, you cannot handle constructive criticism.
Instead to answer an honest opinion in a reasonable way you had choosen to ban me under the disguise of ''hatespeech''. Instead to engage in a reasonable respectful conversation you had choosen to ignore several of my bug reports or to make fun of them. Instead to take my honest opinion about particular content of your game to your heart and think about it, you had choosen to frame my constructive criticism as so called ''hatespeech'' in order to fabricate an excuse to ban me. Instead to fix many of the bugs you had choosen to close the thread where I had invested countless hours to report your endless bugs.
Ace honestly, your paying customers really don't deserve a treatment like this. Constructive criticism is a positive gift meant to help you to improve your game. But simply calling criticism ''hatespeech'' and to issue a lifelong ban for daring to dislike a particulare design of your game, this doesn't work.
And even here you don't stop to bully me by spreading lies about me and twisting the facts. In hipocrital manner you stated here: ''Reporting bugs or having issues with design decisions will not result in a ban'' This is another lie. Because this is exactly what I did: I reportet bugs and tried to communicate my issues with your design and some in my opinion ''perverted'' art in your game. I communicated my issues with your game in a very careful, respectful and honest way. But whatever opinion you don't like, you simnply call it ''hatespeech'' and shut the person up instead to give a reasonable answer to the topic.

I really want to upvote this because it does have a nice laid back vibe to the whole game compared to other 4X's. But there is a significant problem. Towards the mid game other empires I have contact with just spam outpost ships and for whatever reason I'm not a computer programmer but it completely takes up the game's processing time and then turn eats up real time it should not take me 16 mins to do a single turn. If people are having the same issue and have found solutions please let me know because currently this is a ridiculous and unreasonable timesink for me.
