Changes from Stellaris:

The minerals and rare stuff is different
Your ships are crewed by officers you train and then keep in a pool. As officers die your ships will become harder to function.
Every faction has a Mission Tree like EU4.
The perks are much smaller options.
There is just one endgame crisis (The Borg) but it happens the entire game.
This is a story based game, not a game based game.
You start out with a huge empire not just one system.
Ships don’t have armor, but shields
You can create trade and turn it into alloys
It looks like the Federation can DOW Humiliation Wars only. You can reform under Section 31 in your Mission Tree to change that.
All ships have warp, gone are space lanes and defensible choke points. Which I loved by the by.
Every Faction has it’s own Tradition Tree
Every Faction starts with four planets that are colonized. For the Federation, this is the four founder homeworld (Humans, Vulcans, Tellarites, Andorians)

Points to Note about the Federation:

You have to build the Enterprise to do a bunch of the Mission Tree stuff knocked out.
In order to win as the Federation, you need to have brought in 12 smaller factions like the Betazeds.
As you bring in minor nations, the Federation permanently gains their Civic bonus; you get their Civics with other nations by occupancy them like the Cardassians with Bajor.
The Federation is the best science nation and exploration nation which were key parts of Stellaris
ASpec says to make nice with the Romulans for “Reasons “in his walkthrough

Points about the Game:

This is a flavor first game and many critics and fans are pointing out where flavor doesn’t work mechanically. Although there are some issues like Data dying of old age. Cloaks don’t seem to work but are in the game.

Sometimes there are quests, mission trees, and more that won’t be able to be finished due to stuff. One Federation reviewer mentions that they couldn’t do an early Borg mission since it was in Cardassian space and they didn’t have access to them no matter how nice they were, they couldn’t get them to open up borders.
