Polaris Sector Released news

The main features from Polaris Sector are these:

• An epic and dangerous playground: randomly generate a galaxy able to host up to 900 stars.
• Full customization: external threats, pirates, number of races… you can set up the world that fits your own tastes!
• Full control over ship design: want to make a corvette into a drone carrier? Go ahead. Want to make a freighter into a scout? No problem. Your creativity is the only limit!
• Explore: send scout vessels to find new mines to exploit, new planets to colonize, and to establish contact with other empires.
• Innovative research system: technologies and equipment will get unlocked depending on your investments in fundamental and applied research.
• Diplomacy: Dialogue with other factions to gain their favor, trade goods, and make military agreements to fight common enemies.
• Command your troops: when a battle starts you can join the battlefield and maneuver your ships in a tactical mode. Alternatively use the auto-resolve mode when you have more urgent tasks to attend to in your empire.
• Unique espionage system: seed false intelligence to enemy spies and lure them into a trap!

But for me, I would remark these other features more relationated with modding:

• We can change the way of count the time. The game count more at months, you can change it easily change it to days.
• Replace the ground units, buildings, structures can be made at very few time.
• Everything use png image files and you can edit all them from the game.
• The code is text and you can edit even the compiled files.
• Videos and audio a ogg files and they can be replaced easily.
• Convert a model from EAW alo format or at 3Dmax to this game takes minutes of work.
• The creator and the publisher support the mods.

You can see here some of the things which I have been making because I could test the beta and to start to create a new Star Wars mod for this game 4 months ago.
