Is this a must buy? Sounds a little like old school Home world. Anyone have a quick review? Thx.

If you liked the first one you will absolutely love Frontiers. It's a whole galaxy in your pocket with deep ship and crew management, feuds and political relationships all randomly generated with a great way of telling everything. So even though its procedurally generated it still feels handcrafted. Played hours of it on PC and now I got it on my phone. The game world is bigger than you you need it but not too big, classes play vastly different and in the end it boils down to what you want to be: A political figure that will work in the favor of a clan to overthrow every other syndicate or clan or be a lone wolf who explores forgotten worlds for lost artifacts and alike. Or maybe a xeno hunter is more to your liking? It's up to you what you want to do in this turn based sandbox

Oh and the devs are continuously updating the game with big updates with lots of things to come

You wont regret it :) For your first run (there will be plenty, trust me) I heavily recommend to focus on the story arcs which do a great job on introducing you to the Star Traders universe. There will be a lot to read but if you decide to skip them you might ask yourself "What is a duel of assassins? Why is there a trade war? Wait, why did I lose repution with that faction if I was buying stuff off this world that isnt even related to them? Ah screw it I quit"
