In GSB you arrange your ships into fleets, instruct them what they need to do in battle, and then sit down and enjoy the fireworks. It&#8217;s a lot about watching your spaceship creations in action with minimal human interaction. The game is fun but this lack of combat interactivity didn&#8217;t allow it to reach its full potential.
