Yes i have that game is crazy at the options. I spent some time on it on steam. Playing the demo i thought it just had the starter ship set but you can make your own ships too. Getting far into it as i purchased it early allot more options now you can sorta make your own ships. Click the icons and you unlock stuff at the levels and make sure you level your tech while expanding. Also if you do not want to play forever with unlimited units make sure you do that in the start up Galaxy Screen. I like to use the alien options also to give my self good options when starting up a new one. The red boxes are things your race has a problem with like -1 Due to your people not liking computers. But you can take that and put it into a green box like example Colonize any planet +1. Just be sure to read the boxes and you can not only customize your race some what but add a description to it. In the end explore the options during start up and game play. Learn as you go. That game has so much to it that when i do play i learn something new each time and i improve. Just remember you can not only upgrade the ships you start with but make new ones in the blueprint section. Have fun!
