Alright, it's time! Bow before the might Drayloks!
I started with the same tech, to improve production, then to get some more money and lastly we can improve our ships.
Seems every production in stock can be used to rush things. Making several scouts.
This time I will make two spies and let them train twice before they go sitting their fat asses to defend us.
Found some good planets, so I click colonize on a planet I like and when I produce a colony ship it will automatically head there, so I can select multiple planets.
Found those furry, right at the start I made a trade and non-aggression treaty. Nice.
My first colony, seems a lot better than my first colony from the last game!
Found more aliens, this one I just made trade treaty, still nice.
Another sucker that made a trade and non-aggression treaty. Beautiful.
I told my planet to hold on research and make a bunch of colony ships.

What do you want the title to be?
Just learned about projectors. Inside your area of influence it seems the warp won't drain your ship's power and with some techs can even increase it's speed.
So projectors act like colonies by increasing your area of influence.
There is a whole lot of buttons near the minimap that I thought were to change the minimap view, you there is a planet list, ship list, fleet list, build (to build projectors) and ai button so you can toggle what you want automated.
Constructors are used to build projectors, looks like they are consumed when used.
Transports get your population from planets with high population and transports them to planets with low population since high population planets grow much faster.
Look at my great empire, isn't it beautiful?
I didn't pay the pirates this time either, looks like this time they will keep their promise and crush me, damn, I have no fleet.
I just rush lots of fighters, it's all I can build, I stopped research to build colony ships..
Oh, the drama!

So looks like a mix of MoO (good) and GalCiv (awful). Planet managements screen is almost exactly a copy of GalCiv. Techs also look... generic. Like the art direction tho, pretty. Still I predict its going to suck based on how generic it is and how similar it is to GalCiv.
So they come, two ships doesn't seem so tough but a ship is named Corsair and has tons of shield.
And they all died, my fighters I mean. It seems I die rather quickly in this game.
But wait, they are not killing my home planet, it seems they are just destroying every ship that comes near my planet. Damn.
So I started to research to get those missiles and a better fighter. It took a long time, I had to stop all automation because even without a governor the AI tried to build ships on my homeplanet, they would leave the planet and get squashed right after.
But even after toggling off all automation it seems the AI is still trying to build colony ships on my home planet.
So I designed a heavy fighter with tons of missiles, a medium power core, full of engines and no warp engine, I just want to get rid of those pirates.
I had to use two conduits and I put some small ordinance too so the ship has lot of missiles to shoot before dying in a glorious fire ball.
Yeah baby, I'm starting to scratch that m*f*. But their big ship is still there untouched.
I had to release several ships to get a chance, if I release just one at a time they get killed before they can do anything, so I set to store production and I have lots of money (I'm trading with all races).
When I have my warehouse full of production I'm going to release a fleet of heavy fighter on them and see what happens.
If this doesn't work then I will have to research a bigger ship, a frigate and put those missiles there.

It is also very similar to Distant World, even more because both are realtime.
If they are able to advance past the this generic feeling I think we might have something here.

"Joffrey Henry" A very alien name. 
Seems a bit generic as you two pointed out, but lets see. In any case I'm so starved for anything to play that I might just end up buying this either way.

Gotcha! Corsair down!
Let's try to incite a revolt on the pollops. Actually it succeed later but it's not worth, with the same amount of money I could steal a tech.
Pollops wants open border, okay..
Those furries colonized a planet in my home system and it does not look good, not good at all! Hide the kids folks!
While I'm researching I'm training lots of spies and trying to get some techs.
But it's not working. They found out and now are angry.
I must tell that I don't like games that rely so much on spying, even with all those I still got my tech stolen.. oh gosh..
One more to the angry list.
War? War never changes, time to build a fleet. I'm almost done with the frigate research.

So now I can build frigates!
Let's put lot of missiles on it.
So I tried asking for peace just to see what happens and.. they accepted? Peace, peace never changes!
So they started to attack the furries instead.
I just learned that level 10 is the max for spies, but they do let you spend money to send them training again.
Let's put those spies to good use, let's steal some techs from the furries since they are losing the war.
So they took a planet from the furries and now they made war with me again.
It seems that the planet they took is inside my system and they didn't like my war ships that are on my home planet being on the same system as their just conquered world.
Furries just asked for an alliance, why not? I just hope they don't discover all those spies I sent after their techs.
I will try to build some troops.
To use on this planet, I don't know how to take it yet.

So after building troops you can click on the planet and there is a button to check everything built on it, it shows a 'power' value, like 5, 10 or 15, it seems to be the HP of a building or troop.
After you build troops they will show there, clicking on a troop you have the launch option, it will then turn into a ship.
Now just take those ships to another planet.
When you get there you enter the same planet surface screen, you click and grab your troops from orbit to the planet and choose where they will land.
Now they will attack automatically anyone who is near them, you can also move the troop if you want. When you finish you can just launch them again and repeat the process. It seems they regain HP with time.
Ops, my new allies found out I was stealing their tech, by I got the spacestation tech before they discovered.
I'm also stealing techs from my enemy.
Let's attack! I was confused why would it make a strange path like that (green line) but I think it was because I took together those heavy fighters I had built to deal with the pirates, they don't have warp engines so I will just leave them behind.
Just researched shields!
Attacking another planet of theirs, now they just have 2 systems, I think they have 5 planets on them, yikes.
EDIT: I just took those two at the left and I got the planet, no need to destroy the buildings.
I think one of them is a troop and the other is an outpost.
Researched Ion weapons, I should make a ship with shield and ion weapons, nice!
Even though my ships are devastating the enemy the diplomacy screen says my military is one of the worst.
Must be because I put so many missiles on them and not much ordinance squares. So they are powerful but just for a few seconds before the missiles end and they become sitting ducks.
Just two more systems to exterminate them!

When they make war they are usually already prepared for an attack so expect them on your home planet very soon.
Instead of civilization where they make war and sometimes never appear to attack you.
But when I had a bunch of ships on their system they kept sending one ship at a time to attack me, probably they were sending ships that had just being built.
EDIT: I guess not that bad, but could be a lot better.

Attacking the Ralyeh, finally got their names right. It was very easy to kill them.
Some event story.
Now I know how the Ralyeh got that ancient ship!
Pollops joined me in an alliance.
I'm making a pure bomber, this should be faster than conquering every planet.
I just colonized a world very very far away and those ancient things are attacking? I will just give this colony to the Opteris, at least they will like me more.
Wrong, Opteris declared war and I made peace with the Ralyeth.
Everything is changing very fast I barely have time to move my fleets and alliances, war and peace is changing constantly.
Opteris got the cruiser tech, yikes!
