StarDrive is a real-time 4X Sci-Fi Strategy Game, developed by Zero Sum Games, published by Iceberg Interactive, and released in April 2013. The 2015 sequel StarDrive 2 is a turn-based 4X strategy with real-time space battles, a bit like Total War in space.In 2016, the sequel also received a DLC named Sector Zero, which doubled the maximum galaxy size from 100 star systems to 200, along with diving the galaxy into hexagonal sectors and adding the ability to construct space stations and such to fortify the key points of those sectors, as well as the alternate ways of winning the game.The original game was popular for its fun ship combat, cool alien designs and extremely in-depth ship design system. However it was criticized for being content-light and unpolished. The second game looks to add much more content and polish, while keeping the things that made the first game great, and adding some new features such as Leaders which you can hire to govern your colonies. At its core, both games are the same: Start out with one planet and some ships, and use that to build an empire. Also: Samurai Space Bears.No relation to the anime Star Driver, or to the campaign setting for tabletop game Alternity.

A Form You Are Comfortable With: Draylok envoy appear to you as the busty purple-skinned humanoids you see on the cover, similar to Sireen or Asari. Watch them long enough, however, and the hologram generated by their chair will occasionally slip, revealing something quite different.

Humanoid Aliens: Draylok, who have the appearance of Sireen clones, much like Mass Effect'''s asari. Unlike those two, however, that appearance isn't their true form, but merely A Form You Are Comfortable With, determined through mind-reading and created via holo-chairs.

Guide Dang It!: The "tutorial" is pretty much nonexistent, forcing players to learn as they go. It's designed to be easy to learn, but it still throws you straight into it without much help. The second game looks to improve on this by adding a tutorial / help feature and a metric ton of tooltips.

A Commander Is You
 Star*Drive (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79
comment
A Commander Is You: Cordrazine are Economists with some Diplomats thrown in. Draylok are Espionage faction though they are decent with diplomacy and research as well. Humans are the Balanced faction - they have bonuses to production, research, and income (and a nifty spaceship to start with), with no glaring weakness. Kulrathi are Elitists, with bonuses to ship HP and ground combat. Opteris are Industrialists. Pollops are Balanced and Economists, having bonus population growth and decreased maintenance and food consumption. Ralyeh are Researchers, with a science boost and a few minor bonuses. Vulfen are Spammers and Industrialists, being extremely fertile and able to build things quickly, as well as gaining bonuses from nearby friendly units. Individually though, theis ships are rather weak.

Shout-Out
 Star*Drive (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Numerous. There are Owlwoks, who look like cross between owls and Ewoks. There's also a race of Cthulhumanoids going by the name Rayleh, and worshiping 'the Elder god'. There are some Shout Outs to the Master of Orion series as well. The Kulrathi are a pretty obvious one to the Bulrathi, for example. Doubles as a shout-out to the Kilrathi as well. One of the Steam achievements for the game is a reference to the Honor Harrington series. Rather fittingly note (the series is known for the ever-increasing size of its Macross Missile Massacres)]], it is awarded for launching a salvo of 100 or more missiles in combat. Most of the heros are shouts outs to some pop culture character, examples include Rambowl, Zapp Groening, and Blaster, Master Engineer

Ursine Aliens: Kulrathi are an archetypal example. Notably, their culture, while blatantly styled after Samurai-era Japan, to the point their form of government is "Shogunate", is far more advanced than associated with the trope. In particular, their lore states that their cities are built vertically so that they wouldn't disturb the surrounding wildlife.

Named After Their Planet: Played straight with Cordrazine, Kulrathi, Opteris and Vulfen. Averted with Pollops, Ralyeh and Humans. Possibly played straight with Drayloks (who hail from Drellok).

Green-Skinned Space Babe: Subverted with Drayloks - a combination of mind-reading and holo-chairs help them look like this for humans, but their real form is that of an emaciated lizard-like humanoid.

Galactic Conqueror: Obviously, you can become one. In fact, this was the only way to win the whole game until the sequel's Sector Zero DLC introduced alternatives, such as a technological victory, or winning through the combined point total.
