Sid Meier's Starships is a 4X Turn-Based Strategy developed by a small team at Firaxis Games spearheaded by Sid Meier himself and released by 2K Games on March 12, 2015 for PC, Mac OS, and iPad. While the game is not officially a part of the Civilization series and features completely different gameplay, it takes place in the same 'verse as Civilization: Beyond Earth, considered to be a direct sequel of the title.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Thousands of years have passed since the launch of the ships that settled the various exoplanets. Your colony has flourished and began to wonder about the fate of the other human colonies on other worlds. Then a long-awaited signal arrives. The colonists begin the construction of a starship to take their emissaries to meet their brethren only to decode the message half-way through the construction and discover that it's a call for help. Instead of one ship, a whole fleet is launched, ready for anything and prepared to render aid to the other colonies.The game is played out on a 2-D Space map. Instead of a whole civilization, the player is put in control of a fleet of starships exploring the galaxy, encountering the other Lost Colonies and, possibly, alien civilizations as well, and dealing with various threats. The player is able to customize each ship to a great extent to fit a particular task. Naturally, Space Battles are a common occurrence. It is also noted that the initially-selected leaders of your colony are the same as in Beyond Earth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Surprisingly for a Sid Meier game, it received a large number of negative reviews, especially for the PC/Mac version, which was extremely buggy and simplistic for a full-featured PC game. Most PC players felt that the developers focused too much on making the game playable on an iPad.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment: Ships can be customized by purchasing upgrades for specific systems or selling them for a smaller return. All ships start as corvettes, but can eventually be upgraded to battleship class. In addition, certain design choices can also add a descriptor to the class, such as "assault destroyer" or "fast cruiser".

The Battlestar: It's possible to upgrade your ship (or ships) to this by focusing on both firepower and carrier capacity.
