Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP?

Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? - Lemmy.ca

I have been keeping an eye on Terra Invicta [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1176470/Terra_Invicta/] for interest in the space development side of the game mostly. But now that it’s released I’ve decided, reluctantly, that it is not for me as it’s basically two different games stapled together, with some deeply questionable design choices. Thinking about it gave me that spreadsheet game itch and it occurred to me that something that puts a grand strategy spin on kerbal space program would be really cool! Focus on mission planning, management, and R&D for early space flight through near future space industrial development/mining/permanent bases. Has anyone heard of anything like that? Or should I just cave and give Aurora 4x another go?

I remember Distant worlds: universe scratching that itch for me a while ago. I know there is a distant worlds 2 but it might be a bit before it reaches the same scale. Nothing quite like a game so immense that by default it does most of it for you and just asks you to sign off on things (that option can be changed ofc).

Unsure how it runs these days, it looks like steam reviews are having some issues running it but i used to play it on windows 10 just fine. Hefty sale too on steam

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time 4X space strategy game. Experience the full depth and detail of turn-based strategy, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game.

Hmm. Different scale for sure, but Distant Worlds 2 is in my backlog so I should probably try it again before Aurora. Thanks for the suggestion!
