Sid Meier explains Starships

Sid Meier's Starships was recently announced at PAX South, but since then a few new details have emerged from a subsequent presentation. The talk includes gameplay footage and features commentary from Sid Meier himself. The stream, which can be viewed here, explains the link between {Starships} and Beyond Earth (they're connected, but not made by the same team and they'll be standalone). Follow the link for more details and to see the game in action, the trailer starts around the eight minute mark, and the gameplay starts thereafter.
