The first major expansion for StarDrive 2, a space 4X strategy game by Zero Sum Games. Sector Zero brings, first and foremost, larger galaxies (up to 4 times bigger), new missions, technologies, and racial traits, as well as two additional victory conditions based on scientific and historical approach. The gameplay itself does not deviate significantly from what we have seen in the original. The developers introduced two new mechanics, though.

StarDrive 2: Sector Zero Description
StarDrive 2: Sector Zero is the first extension to StarDrive 2 strategy game from April 2015. This plugin was created by Zero Sum Games studio, known from the stand and the first part of StarDrive. Iceberg Interactive took care of the publishing site, which players associate with such titles as Starpoint Gemini, Endless Space or Endless Legend. Production requires a basic version of the game to work.
Mechanics
StarDrive 2: Sector Zero gameplay doesn't differ significantly from what we've seen in the basic production. However, the creators took care of two new mechanics. The first one is Sectors, i.e. a system that changes the gameplay at an early stage of exploration. Players travel further sectors where they pursue short-term goals. In addition, during our first visits to the new sector, we discover, for example, new missions, anomalies or interesting facts about shipwrecks from ancient times. This mechanics is complemented by Deep Space Construction, which allows us to take over sectors for our faction (for this purpose we can build a star fortress at the edge of a space-time tunnel) and use the found resources (we build a mining base, e.g. on a field with precious metals).
StarDrive 2: Sector Zero also means larger galaxies (up to four times), new missions, technologies, racial features and two additional conditions to win. One is based on a scientific approach and the other on history.
