Here is another space themed game called Star Command. It was funded through Kickstarter, developed by indie game designers Jordan and Justin Coombs. The game is a space exploration and combat simulation game, with players acting as captain of a starship who is tasked with exploring the galaxy and defending his crew from hostile aliens.
You can upgrade your ship, build and upgrade weapons, engines, shields and many other systems. You can hire crew members who can individually gain experience, level up. You can assign your crew to different rooms / systems, they can act as scientists, engineers, security etc.
You have a huge universe to explore but for the first few hours of gameplay you pretty much have to follow a linear story. As you progress and make more and more choices which effect your game you will be able to explore more freely and roam around the galaxies. Your basic goal is to save humanity from evil aliens, but it's a lot more complicated than that. During your adventures you meet many different species, you fight with some of them and help or trade with the others.
The most time consuming parts of the game are the battles, some of them can take ages and with the tricky aiming systems you have to be on the top of your game all the time not to spend 20-30 minutes with each encounter. You can install and upgrade weapon systems, assign crew members to control them. Sometimes the enemy teleports a few guys on your ship and those are the most frustrating battles, when you have to concentrate on the fight on two frontlines.
Really fun game even if the battles tend to be too long sometimes, if you are into space exploration games this one is for you for sure!
