In a somewhat of a surprise announcement, we learn that Firaxis is working on a new game called Sid Meier Starships. Sid Meier spoke with Eurogamer to clarify what this game is and what we can expect and this is what he had to say:
“Develop different kinds of weapons, stealth abilities, armor and shields. Put all the different pieces of a ship together in different ways, to get different kinds of ships. Some will be fast, others will be powerful, some are used for stealth, and your role will to be the admiral of this fleet.
Build a fleet of a few very powerful ships or one of many smaller ships, there a lot of variations. Then you take this fleet into the galaxy and in each star system you visit, there will be some sort of mission, a problem to solve, some way that you can help the people living there. After solving these missions, they become part of your federation. Eventually you run into other civilizations doing the same thing and you will recognize some of the leaders from Civilization: Beyond Earth.”
