Humans Only?

[TheGreatLeader]

As much as I am excited for a space game as the next guy, Im wondering if the only playable faction in Stellaris will be just humans or will we be able to play as aliens?

It has been stated multiple times that we can play as all kinds of aliens. We get total customization options of a ton of different alien species.

Will it be realtime or turn based?

And will we be able to create our own ships with unique designs?

Real time. And we will be able to customize our ships, visually it's possibly limited, but we will be able to change the ship's stats and abilities (engines, weapons, shields, armour, etc).

1) Sarcasm rarely translates well over text.

2) Enough people have honestly asked such things over and over again that it's not hard to think you were being earnest.
