I already mentioned the Orbitals but there are also these Monoliths that can be built. You can also build structures to improve your standing. So in some cases you will need to build up a decent military just to pave the way to deeper regions of space. These are AI NPC ships that just sit on some luscious space tiles protecting them and the only way through is with battle (One of the playable races actually befriends the Ancients). Many times you will be exploring and find a tile that is already inhabited by some “Ancients” or “Guardians”. You will need ships to not only defend your territory but to attack if you choose. This one is pretty straight forward to be honest. Building allows you to spend you generated build points to construct new ships or structures on the board. At the end of the 8 th round victory points are tallied up based on a number of different things such as territory controlled, tech track progress etc. Finally the cleanup phase where everyone pulls their spent action discs back to their starting places and then new tech tiles are drawn from a bag and the round marker is moved forward. Then the upkeep phase will occur in which players will gain some tech and building points and have to manage their money income. Once this happens the combat phase will commence if anyone is on the same game tile that another opposing unit is. After that the play passing to the next player and around and round this goes until all players have passed. In Eclipse you will be controlling one of the 7 different races (6 alien races and 1 human race) and you will be taking a single action on your turn. However, the games feel so much different from one another. I know I have seen many comparisons to another larger space game called Twilight Imperium and indeed this game takes up just as much, if not more, table space. Through many twists and turns and delays it finally arrived at my door a few weeks ago. At the time I was in desperate need of a good space game and I thought it looked pretty great by all accounts, so I backed it. This new version was going to be a complete overhaul from the original, basically improving all aspects. To be honest I had never heard of Eclipse before the Kickstarter that was redoing the game.
