Onirim, but Aerion. I keep thinking I've found the Oniverse game that's the most lacking without its expansions, only to uncover hidden depths the more I play. Then I encountered this exercise in cosmic micro-management, which is stripped down almost to the point of pointlessness at the base level. Expanding the universe with the bundled add-ons sorts that out, but it still feels more like going through the celestial motions than having fun.
