These control how far the ship will move to pursue its target outside of your selected location, and how much the computer will automatically fire each ships special weapons. In addition to the red/yellow/green alerts from the previous game, which basically mean attack on sight, attack if attacked first, or do not attack, they also have movement and special weapon autonomy. You can tell your ships how freely the AI is supposed to act with your ships. Also, and my personal favorite, is the various autonomy settings.
In practice, this seems to have little real effect on the game play, but it is helpful against human players where you can use the environment to your advantage to help conceal your ships, etc. Basically, ships can have a z-axis component to their location as well as an x/y. Other than the new races, they also added a quasi-3d interface. They also added a few new features not present in the previous game. Sufficient for any fan, at the very least. Overall, I found it enjoyable, if not overly exciting.
I found the storyline sufficiently engaging, though being a Star Trek fan may have had something to do with that.
There are ten single player missions for each race for the single player missions.
