[3] Trade prices on planets follow supply and demand, the wars are ongoing non-scripted conflicts, computer-controlled ships have individual capabilities, goals and relations, etc.

The games have turn-based space travel and combat, optional shoot 'em up sequences and occasional bits of text adventure.

This game was not released in America in its own box, but in some special edition containers of Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators.

In Space Rangers, a relatively peaceful interstellar coalition is invaded by a powerful enemy; the organic warships of the Klissans.

The player is a Ranger, one of a group of non-military volunteers who are given small ships, free rein and the task of helping to battle, understand and ultimately defeat the menace.
