You'll start out at your home base, which allows you to research technologies, new weapons and other Civilization-y things. You won't get to see the surfaces of these planets like you would in a game like Starbound but there's a definite charm to how the classic Civilization formula mixes with creating these environments. Each time you play Starships, the galaxy is randomly generated and I had a lot of fun exploring when starting a new game.
You choose you allegiance and your commander, which offers you different starting perks and you're off to the cosmos. What Starships does do well though is it's sense of exploration, especially in it's new(it) setting. Granted the Civilization games have never really been known for an official story and instead rely on the player to create their own story but Starships often feels like it was rife for an over arching tale and this was nothing but a missed opportunity. You investigate a signal from somewhere out in deep space to see what or who it is and that's pretty much it. There's nothing here that will stop those who haven't played Beyond Earth from understanding what's going on though since there's not much story to speak of. Technically Starships fits in as an extension of the recently released Civilization: Beyond Earth. That's not to say that you'll want to avoid Starships, in fact far from it - you'll just want to know what you're getting into first. You'll have fun with Starships, but not nearly on the same level as you've had with Meier's previous games. While it's got some interesting ideas, it lacks the depth that made previous titles so much fun to waste time on but isn't nearly accessible enough to make it inviting for new strategy players.
Slapping the Sid Meier name on something is usually a sure fire way to make sure that I buy something but the latest game from the esteemed creator, Sid Meier's Starships feels more like a misstep than anything else.
