This is perhaps my most favourite science fiction game right now. It's got the Star Trek feel that I'm looking for when I want this kind of game.
1. It encourage collaboration. You're always working together, and talking about what you're going to do help you plan to do the thing. Benefits for sitting down and planning it out is great.
2. Some of the best captain mechanics ever. The game gets that the captain chair isn't about yelling at people what to do, it's providing support and making the final decision when you need to make one. You have the ability to give people support, and people get bonuses if they follow through on something you tell them to do. That means if you plan, and then follow through you get more bonuses.
3. Technobable bonus. Like do you need any further elaboration on it.
But the spirit of the game is fantastic. When we've played it we've literally had moments that could have (and would have) turned into a fire fight and we were like "wait, how do we solve this without shooting our way out of it."
If you want a space faring exploration game that's still kind of got that shine of we're trying to understand and make the world a better place then you should get this game, right now.
Thank you!
