Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Really, whenever I think about Spacecom, in my head what I would really wish this game could be is a cross between this and a hyper-simplified Stellaris, but without that I think this makes one of the calmest, most relaxing RTS' I've ever played, and I do recommend it to anyone who wants a strategy game that is calm and simple, but still has some interesting out-smarting-your-enemies gameplay that you can sit down in play to your favourite album or simply it's own (quite decent, very chill) soundtrack, with a glass of wine and a cheese plate.
