Hooray for a new Space Empires and congratulations to all concerned for the game! BUT... just as in SEIV, there doesn't seem to be any way that one can turn off the background 'music'. Just five seconds of it had me frantically searching for the 'off' button - in vain.
There must be people like me - brought up pre-pop - who prefer to live and play in silence, other than with sound effects. Surely we merit some consideration?
I've solved the problem (as I did in SEIV) by renaming the 'Music' directory to 'Aaaargh!' to express my feelings and confound the program. But this is a bodge...
Anyway, having done that and made my point, I'll return to explore this wondrous new offering.

Once you've started a game, you can switch it off in the options. But there's no way to do it before you get to the system-view screen.
Left button in the top panel, then down to the bottom to reach options - it's in there somewhere (as is auto-save which I highly recommend)
