Starting with a single ship (or two if you play as Bolivar,) planets are controlled by way of influence points. The heart of the game takes place on a galaxy map which shows your homeworld and all the neighboring systems. Supremacy players begin the game with a random Wonder already constructed, Harmony halves the cost of starship repairs, and Purity obtains double resource rewards for completing missions. In addition, affinities that developed since planetfall are now available from the start. Each leader now follows their own policy that might result in an extra ship in your fleet, faster production, or an extra city to name a few.
Starships features the same eight leaders used in Beyond Earth, but with the old Earth long behind them, they are not connected by their original sponsors. Granted the storyline isn’t that huge, but in a game like this, one really isn’t needed.
The settlers of the newly colonized planet have evolved into a new civilization of their own, and have begun attempts to colonize other planets, and finding out they are not alone in the universe. Starships takes place after the events of Beyond Earth. Thankfully it looks like the Beyond Earth universe is expanding in its own way, because with Starships, it is time to leave the new home planet and expand and conquer its neighboring star systems. It didn’t wow me in the end, but it was still a fun game which continued the tradition of the “one more turn” gameplay we all know and love.
Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth played like a total conversion of Civ V, and I was ok with that.
