Worked fine out of the box with proton experimental
Seemed fine in a short test
Couldn't initially see all the buttons. Had to press 'alt+enter'
Other than needing to force full screen, it seemed to work well.
The game is now working great with Proton 7.0-2!
This game used to be broken.
Worked perfectly for me with Proton-7.2-GE-2, without changes to the launcher exe other reports required with earlier Proton versions. The only thing to note is on a HDPI/4K display resolution the game UI/text is quite small, though this seems to be a problem with the game on Windows too and nothing to do with using Proton; I just changed my display resolution before playing.
Just as suggested below, to get the game to run:
"Rename/delete Starships64.exe and rename Starships.exe to Starships64.exe
If you don’t, the game will crash during the video introduction."
Works great!
Rename two files and then it's a perfect experience
Rename/delete Starships64.exe and rename Starships.exe to Starships64.exe
If you don't, the game will crash during the video introduction.
Added launch option: rm Starships64.exe && ln -s Starships.exe Starships64.exe; %command%
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)Deleting "starships64.exe" and rename starships.exe to starships64.exe works without any issues. My previous issues that steam auto-repairs the file is gone

Plays great if you can get through the intro movie without getting stuck in a loop
Tried the trick mentioned here to remove starships64.exe and rename the 32 bit version but game gets stuck in an audio loop during the startup movie. If I hit escape fast enough, b4 it gets stuck in loop, it plays fine.
Deleted /home/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Starships/Starships64.exe. Renamed Starships.exe to Starships64.exe. Game Runs After it for more many hours perfectly.
Unknown(< 1 hour with Proton)Game audio loops and stays at black screen after displaying game publisher's and developers logo.
Workaround: Replace Starship64.exe with Starship.exe to trick Steam to launch into 32bit version of the game.
Issue: Buttons are misaligned by half. Clicking the button half of a button will trigger the button below it. Only top half of the very top button can trigger that button.
Tip: Windowed fullscreen doesn't put the game into fullscreen in GNOME but helps with screen resolution in smaller displays (e.g. 720p)
Unknown(< 1 hour with Proton)UnknownFirst instant run after downloading the game works fine. A 2nd start leads to showing Firaxis and K2 Logo and then you have an audio-loop. Game is not playable because of a black screen and audio-loop. Renaming the exe (like other people mentioned) does not work, because Steam detects a "wrong" file and does an update first.
UnknownUnknown(< 15 minutes with Proton)Deleted Starships64.exe and renamed Starships.exe to Starships64.exe.
No sound effects but music works. Everything else works

Starships64.exe crashes upon start. Deleted /home/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Starships/Starships64.exe. Renamed Starships.exe to Starships64.exe.
Unknown(< 15 minutes with Proton)Got it to start by changing /tmp/proton_${user}/run to start game with Starships.exe instead of Starships64.exe and DLL overrides dotnet20=n
Unknown(< 15 minutes with Proton)UnknownCan't get past initial logos. After second pair of logos fade there is a looping sound and the game doesn't do anything. No success with tweaks
