Why isn't there more LoGH games? I just want to want to shoot blue lasers at people. That being said the more recent RTS that was made was pretty good; sadly since windows live died you can no longer play multiplayer. The game never received an English translation, but even if you don't know Japanese the game is still pretty straight forward. There are spoilers in the game until the FPA gets defeated, but I only played the Empire campaign and not the FPA so there could be other spoilers.

Freespace was pretty morbid at times
some of the other space games are almost upbeat by comparison
fbdd3b No.13729621
>>13729187
That was kind of the point.
Freespace is themewise an extremely unusual game in that it is about fighting what is in essence an eldritch horror in the cthulhu vein. Not in the tentacled giant monster idea, but in the horror that defies our every attempt at understanding it that we could never hope to fight in any practical sense. Like Cthulhu was in his original story, even surviving being rammed by the steamer.
Like wise, the shivans are nigh unstoppable and utterly inscrutable. Every thing the GTA and the Vasudans do to stop the shivans backfires in some way.
Try to hijack one of their ships to learn more about them? Corridorfight clip.
Try to take down a shivan destroyer? The lucifer shows up and nukes your mothership.
Try to blockade the shivans access to Vasuda Prime? The vasudans circumvent your blockade through means unknown and attack with a second fleet from a flank they shouldn't have been able to get to.
The list goes on. The closest the play gets to scoring a real strategic victory that doesn't instantly turn to shit is taking down the Lucifer and saving the earth, at the expense of permanently cutting earth off from the rest of the human colonies. Its still a defeat for the GTVA on the strategic scale.
In Freespace 2 its much the same. The colosus is big and impressive to look at, but it can't take on one Juggernaut without someone knocking out the juggernauts guns first, and even then they have to burn out the Collosus's guns in the process, and the shivans promtly bring in several dozen more juggernauts.
The GTVA just can't win against the shivans, only try to limit the extend of their defeat.
Time and again, we are shown that the shivans are not a thread that can be understood, reasoned with or fought. They do whatever it is that they do, and the best the player can hope to do is slightly inconvenience them…
I would love to see more games approach story telling and world building like that, as the setup lends itself extremely well to building up dramatic tension and story telling for the kind of conflicts we get in games.

My surprise in 2 was the ending where I failed to escape but that was actually an intended way to conclude the story. Also special mention to both games for pacing and fantastic atmosphere, obviously a lot of the time you're fighting waves of enemy ships but it also knows when to slow down and have periods of nothing happening, before suddenly, Shivans return. I really really need to give 2 a second playthrough. 1's had a few.

You've never played freespace? Fix that. FSO is opensource and free, so you have no excuses.
First game ends with FTL access to earth being lost, the player is among the pilots who take down the lucifer and is thus stranded on earth, cut off from the rest of the galaxy. The rest of the human and vasudan colonies that survived the war rebuild as the GTVA.
Second game ends with one of the biggest and most heavily populated and important colonies in the GTVA, Cappella, being invaded by and overwhelming force of Shivans. The GTVA scramble to cut all jumpnodes leading to Cappella to contain the invasion while evacuating anyone they can. During the last mission the player is flying as an escort defending transports fleeing the system, and you are suddenly notified that the shivans have done some kind of technocrap to the star making it go supernova and that you have matter of minutes to escape. You can fight to defend as many ships as possible as they flee, or you can run away. If you don't make it out, the ending is a eulogy remembering those lost in the evacuation, if you do make it out, the player is the one delivering the eulogy.
So no, not particularly happy endings. The best you get is, humanity and vasudans just barely survived and their societies are fucked over and have to rebuild from almost nothing.

The super nova station?
Id recommend building a carrier, stuffing it with resourcers, taking it to the nearby cloud with rocks on it and then releasing the resourcers to empty that field.
Use a fleet of Frigates and bigger ships, keep them in sphere formation or other tight formation, keep them inside the dust veins and just follow those till you get to the station where you just rip and tear till the enemy fleet is kill.
Also, dont take the mined path, take the longerone, sure it has enemy fleets on it, but at least you wont get blasted by mines.

And the games are awesome for that. The last mission briefings in FS2 you can feel how desperate the situation is which kind of highlight the point anon made here >>13729597. In most games you win, in Freespace, your victory boils down to surviving to see another day, I don't think there are that many games where your "victory" comes down to something so simple. Also that second SOC special mission with the captured Maras beyond the second Knossos had me scared shitless, 5 minutes to complete everything and jump out or get stuck in Shivan space and die. Also dive, dive, dive! Hit your burners, pilot! didn't help ease the situation at all.

Now, I risk sounding like a pleb but despite that I need to point out that that sounds like shit. If you have so many tools at your disposal, but they're all irrelevant because the enemy is just that good, you've got a situation that isn't "hopeless" or "gritty" but annoying and "railroad"-like. If that were to be the case in a traditional RPG the players would start to get very irritated with the GM for shitting all over their various ideas and not giving them anything for it.
I personally find that shit irritating too. Illogically powerful enemies are not fun. Enemies that don't have to follow rules are not fun. It may be a fine addition to a story, but it isn't fun - and therefore isn't for games.

pirate the originals, the remakes ones dont offer anything and are inferior to the originals.
The only reason to be a good goy and get the remakes is to play the multiplayer, BUT those fucking faggots didnt bother to add HW1 classic any multiplayer service, you can only play multiplayer in HW2, because fuck you.

About the homeworld stealing tactic, that shit was OP, because it ignores your maximum unit limit.

The worst part is that it was the only endgame Connie at the time of its addition to the game, all the Kelvin ships are set up as one of the first three primary spec ships that are store exclusive otherwise.
The JJprise is a command ship with the inspiration abilities, the Kelvin Bird of Prey is a pilot ship with the pilot maneuvers that let it roll around and dodge shit, and the Kelvin warbird is a huge intel carrier with all the intel shit like innate stealth and the intel gathering probe, it's also the only actual carrier the Romulans can have that can use the drone ships from the Scimitars.

Bumping the thread to ask for good space strategy games. I recently got a bit of a craving for good space 4x, but RTS or smaller scale spess game recommendations are welcome as well. I tried Endless Space 2 since it's free on Steam and while I really liked it the fact that you have almost zero control over combat is a pretty big letdown. I had the same problem with GalCiv 2. I do have Sins installed but I'd like something with a wee bit more depth in the empire management side of things.
I'm tempted to try out the new Master of Orion. It's probably shit though. I'd say the graphics are nice but the artstyle kind of makes it all go to waste.

I like the open cockpit like the sidewinder, but I still have to buy a big ass ship for space trucking.

Don't think about it too much, most of the cockpits appear a lot smaller on the inside then they actually are. The Cobra is the only one where it's size matches the perspective roughly.
The icourier is probably the worst, it's cockpit is massive and the ship overall looks like it was just scaled up. You could fit a 2nd pilot seat in the space after the hud.
Probably why space legs is taking so long, if they're even working on that atm they have to fix their scaling on everything.
610e6b No.13826301
>>13823795
Id recommend trying out Sins of a solar empire if you want a game where your own decisions matter more in combat.
Sword of the starts is also a game where you can affect your ships during combat, but in that game combat and strategy map are two different parts of the game while in Sins you do everything on same map, build buildings, build ships, order fleets around and so on.
As for latest master of Orion, let me tell you about it in next post.
610e6b No.13826377
>>13826301
Aight, so MoO (4?) plays a bit more like Sword of the stars with it strategy map, tactical map separation.
Combat can be played either in real time or turn based (where it just automatically pauses the game every set amount of seconds, you can also pause it by yourself if you want to.)
In MoO combat you can affect several things, you can choose targets for your ships, order them to move, decide what weapons to use and change around the engagement ranges as well as at what range the ships start fleeing the enemy ships.
Strategy map is flat, while in Sots it is mostly 3 dimensional.
Also, unlike in Sots here all raceshave same FTL system and all use jumplanes or jumpgates in later game, this does make picking colony locations a bit more of a strategic thing than in Sots (unless you play human vs human games there).
Designing ships in MoO is significantly easier in than in Sots.
While in MoO you just pick a ship type and then pick what weapons and or modules to put on it, in Sots you choose what action section the ship has (mid section), what bridge it has (forward section) what sorta engines it has (aft) and then pick and choose guns for slots on each section as well as decide whether you want anti-beam coating and armor or not.
This causes MoO ships to be pretty samey, with bigger ships just having bigger health bars and more guns, while in Sots the ships are more specialized on different tasks, like command ships, repair and recovery craft, fuel ships, planetary bombardement ships, assault shuttle carriers, drone carriers, regular old battleships, cutting beam carrying ship, miner, propaganda blaster, bio warfare ship that shoots plague missiles at a planet and more.
Also the random events in Sots are better than the ones in MoO, whererandom events are either you finding a pirate treasure or a pirate planet with treasure or slaves.
Sots events on the other hand can havefalling rocks, extra dimensional monsters, forgotten ancient super weapons, judicious asshole UFO that wrecks your fleets, locusts, swarm, slavers, a propaganda blaster that makes your planet revolt, AI driven ship that turns your planet into a machine world and takes over your ships computers and much more.

Going to add to this that pirates are absolutely fucking retardedly OP. They can and will lock you in your home system spawning waves upon waves of strong fleets every dozen or less turns with no real way to deal with them completely till you reach mid game which means any player that is lucky to not be bottlenecked by pirates is free to pretty much conquer the entire galaxy by turn 60.

The mod compensates for cheating AI with so many different units that galactic conquest has unit type filters, orbital defenses out the ass with larger worlds gaining orbital cannons to fuck up any capital ships invading, golans everywhere, automatic reinforcements for defenders and attacking AI. Gravity well generators can stop reinforcements for both sides. The only up to date versions of the mod are on the (((Steam Workshop))) and the mod creator's own website that requires registration and manual activation to access, the version on ModDB is a really old version as it has gotten very big.

Nah it's pretty fun to play, though it does crash from time to time for unknown reasons. All factions have a defiler analog though only the Black Sun has the corruption ability, all these defiler type units have the ability to be useful in space combat and can board/capture ships. Black Sun has all their ships equipped with mass drivers, even the stolen ships from other factions. Galactic Conquest has the ability to upgrade some ships to improved versions, like ISD I to ISD II or ISD II to various other Star Destroyers like a command version of the ISD II or one with a bunch of heavy weapons slapped onto it.

no, the game is about piloting a spaceship in the most realistic way possible.

Just bought Rogue System, been looking at it for a long time after that one "Start up sequence" webm. Went on sale yesterday, 10.50 instead of 30 bucks. Still haven't made it through the whole startup myself, much less know what everything does, but i've only got an hour 40 under my belt.

I don't think they are from a game. In the lower left there is a Neuromancer tag. I did a search and it looks like it may be a book.

Been playing some Thrawn's Revenge myself, started up a new Campaign.
>tfw crushing your foes with superior firepower
My only gripe is way too many fighters to micromanage.
a36fde No.13862445
>>13862411
It's rather easy. All you gotta do is pause, select fighters, have them attack move in the direction of the station(s).
df0b47 No.13862455

Can be tricky when your enemy is also deploying hundreds of fighters and it turns into a cluster fuck.

Thrawns Revenge I found that Starfighters were pretty much worthless unless they had ion cannons or proton torpedos and even then it was questionable.

After all that fallout with battleborn I doubt they can afford to. The Homeworld series have never been big money makers after all and the strategy market isn't as big as it used to be.
If they try to make another it will not be until they have secured a ton of cash with another memelands game, and if that fails, the company might go belly up and its IP's sold off to whoever can afford it, like Ubisoft or EA.

That actually doesn't make me so sad. I didn't feel that HW needed a sequel anyways and if Stardock can focus on Sins 2 then they'll get it out that much faster.

Just started playing Avorion and gotta say it's pretty fun. The spacecraft building is simple enough but even I'm starting to get the hang of it. Still pretty early in, but I do like the economy system (simple, but it does get the job done) and the variety of weapons. Anyone else playing it have any gripes or issues with it so I can either avoid/accept them early?
