The developer called the game the "largest and most diverse strategy sandbox to date," as players have a variety of tools such as diplomatic treaties to resource exchanges, and United Planets resolutions to hundreds of research directions for scientists.

It also contains an "infinite number of ways to design and deploy starfleets," and every area of the game from "planetary development, starbase construction, inter-faction negotiations, ideology" and more will present players with the ability to shape the galaxy with thier choices.

Stardok has made the game mod-friendly by providing modders with tons of content such as races, ships, technology and ideology branches to work with alongside the in-game ship designer - which is available for all players.

The game will make use of online multiplayer for the first time in the franchise along with leaderboards and metadata.
