Star Ruler

Decided to tell everyone about this game I came across.

Star Ruler is a mixture between the RTS and 4X genres. Our goal is to bring an expansive galaxy to life, and provide many ways to experience the world - whether your goal is to conquer, extinguish, or make peace with all life - so there will always be something new to experience.

Features:

    Enormous, detailed, galaxies
    Up to 1000 systems each with their own stars, planets, moons, and asteroid belts.
    Six distinct paths to victory
    Combat, Espionage, Diplomatic, Research, Economic, and Exploration paths give players a choice of gameplay styles.
    Design your own ships
    You get to choose every component that goes into a ship, and choose what appearance it uses, either from the built-in shipsets, or custom ones from the community.
    Mod the game in every way:
    • Create skins for the UI, or scripts to dictate its behavior.
    • Add new elements to the gameplay, either new items to place on ships, or entirely new mechanics not in the original game.
    • Share your creations with others through the in-game content manager.
    Take your battles online
    Massive fights in a massive universe; support for up to eight players. Save the whole game when dawn breaks and boot it back up at dusk; it isn't over until you say it is!
    That's no moon
    With an entire galaxy's worth of resources at your fingertips, why let it go to waste on simple starfighters? Build massive Dyson Spheres, Black Hole manipulators, and Star Cannons to crush your foe's dreams of conquest. Strap huge engines, shields, and guns on to your worlds and transform your homeworlds from a resource to be held or taken into a deadly adversary.
    Truly freeform camera
    Players have an option of a standard camera, as if attached to a pole, or a completely free camera - see the game from any direction you require with ease.
    And much more for you to discover!

    Edit: For some reason I can't put links in the post :/.

Bought it on preorder a few days ago, downloaded it from impulse this morning, played around with it for a small bit and I have to say I really like what I see, cant wait until the day is through so I can spend some quality time getting into the nuts and bolts of the game.

 

I am also super impressed with how active you guys are on both these forums and your own (which I just signed up for aswell) Getting a quick patch out is just the icing on the cake to let me feel good about this purchase and hopefully in time, more to come!

My stupid bank denied payment this morning due to fraud suspicion. I was at work and unable to accept the charges. Now I either have to wait for someone in impulse sales to look at my order, and maybe get my pre-order done again, or even worse I may have to buy it on another card for more money now. Either way, I can't play the game now :(

So...I've got a decision to make:   Star Ruler or Sword of the Stars?    I already own SOTS but never got past the tutorial.   Suggestions?
