This is a list of a lot of the Game's Features.

Realtime in seconds
3D spatial with floating point vector calculations
Transit times average > 5 hours
Simple vacation mode without drawbacks
Playability also without constant online presence
Balanced game play: Basic ship types are strong and reliable
5 Unique races, which are well balanced
An equal limit on game rescources for all players
Multiple accounts are banned and impractical anyway
Originality: even experienced players are often surprised by creative new fleet set-ups and tactical uses of the various available ships

1 Homebase and 3 fleets
Each fleet needs a mothership to move (which contains the warp-drive)
It can be traveled at high speed through wormholes and the alliance-network transwarp-gates
Fleets can be tactically finetuned: every ship is important
Fleets can be cloaked
3D-Map (scroll/zoom/rotate...)
Players can install new wormhole portals on their own, that stay even over the lifespan of that player

11 different probes, scanning for: planets coords, other probes, fleet constellations, planet surfaces, hyperjump targets and probes for scrambling, decloaking, relay stations for scan vessels
Coordinates will be saved in clearly arranged lists which can be transmitted easily to other players

Battles are resolved without need of being online
Battles between groups of any number of attackers and defenders possible
Tactical dexterity: good players can challenge 4 or more attackers and win against them, not because of more resources, just because of tactical experience
Sabotage of probes/production etc. with ground troopers possible
