By contrast, a campaign in Starships can take less than a couple of hours (or as long as six or seven, depending on modifiers), making it possible to start and finish a game in a single sitting (or day). Sid Meier's Starships is a great alternative for anyone who enjoys Civilization games - especially its turn-based combat - but has difficulty finding the time to complete one of those games' epic campaigns, which can take weeks to play out. Successful completion may result in a planet's endorsement, along with valuable credits and resources used to repair damages and develop your fleet and empire. Goals differ from one mission to the next - for example, you may have to protect a colonist ship or fend off marauding pirates. The other half is played on randomly generated planetary system maps, where players skirt around asteroids and jump through small wormholes while engaging in turn-based combat against computer-controlled fleets. Half the game takes place on a large galactic map, where players can travel to and develop worlds, purchase new technologies, talk to other leaders, and grow and upgrade their fleets. Your aim is to visit these planets and assist them in combat missions, earning their support to encourage them to join your empire instead of one of your rivals. Set in the same universe as Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth (a strategic civilization simulation that has players helping humanity settle an alien world), SID MEIER'S STARSHIPS skips forward a few centuries to a galaxy filled with planets occupied by human colonists.
