I wanna talk about space and sci-fi shit in general. How come most games with a space/sci-fi setting are strategy games? I mean there is a ton of strategy games but barely any action games set in the far future. there used to be a lot of spaceship sims but that genre is dead as fuck. There is a good bunch of sci-fi role-playing games but they are mostly post apocalypse.
I really want some game where I can go around my ship with some companions, land on weird planets and start questing and exploring. Closest I can get to that is mass effect and that franchise went to hell almost straight away.

They talk other games outside of 4x too, except there's not many good space games which allow you to walk around your ship, and even less that feature followers.
02d26a No.14148955
For walking around ships, there's Empyrion's capital ships. For followers… I don't think there's any. /v/ will recommend you KOTOR 2, but the followers are way worse than people make them out to be. For having both of those at once, there's really no good game that I know of. Saging just because Space thread exists.

Give Warframe a try, anon. It might be exactly what you're looking for. It's an action game where you fight aliens and monsters on various terraformed planets in our solar system. You can even get your own space ship to decorate. It's a free to play game but the setting is rich and there is a ton of lore and stories you can uncover in a giant codex by scanning objects in the environment, certain enemies too.
I like it a lot. You might too. Just avoid the cash shop. You don't need it to play the game.

If you're okay with sci-fi action in general, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri did a decent power suit game.

Would a skin-tight spacesuit even work?
If it did, it would be putting serious pressure on your body.
081238 No.14149252
>>14149229
Depends on what it's made of. If it's strong enough to withstand the (lack of) pressure without collapsing on you and can protect you from radiation then it would be preferable to the bulky crap we have to use today, less chance of snagging on something.

I don't know about the first one but that second one isn't a normal spacesuit, it's meant to be worn inside a spacecraft, not in outer space.

Point is, if we could make skintight spacesuits we would. Space is lethal and having to lug a heavy suit around doesn't help at all.

Well, you haven't asked for a good game, so i recommend starbound.
It gets decent with 300+ mods.
It will break with every new update though.

Is it still generic shit with no real motivation to play?
f343c5 No.14151559
>>14151528
that depends what you mean by no mootivation.
the game now has a story with a ending and shit, but aside from that is you going from planet to planet to get new items, new instanced quests, new challenge courses and new materials to make shit.
But if you mean something like terraria progression, no, there is none of that in it.
It's more akin to a dungeon crawler with no perma-death and procedural dungeons than a sandbox actually.
Well, you can make and own a space station that you build youself and them bring people to sell shit and give you quests, but that basically it.
f343c5 No.14151590
>>14151559
forgot to say that this is having in mind that you will use the 300+ mods i said in the first post.
if not the game is still completely barebones with almost no planet types to explore and with the same 10 monsters parts swapped around for the 3 enemies in each planet.
Mods change the game completely and is the only way to play without having a aneurysm.
Mods add realistic starsystems (planets near the sun are scorched with hardened life forms while the only in the fringes of the system are glacial dead planets), add a bunch of new parts for monsters to be made of and a lot of unique monsters and also make it so the monsters palletes go along with the planet pallete, so a green planet will not have neon pink monster anymore.
They also balance out the resource prices for everything so the game is not a slog to get a single weapon/armor piece made and doesn't take you ages to create a 3 room space station.
They also fix the mecha system, by giving the mecha more life, better damage and reworking the mechas resistances, so it doesn't become completely useless in the later worlds.
With mods, it's basically a different game.

If you want science fiction, play something from the Elite series, there’s some decent fan made remakes of Elite 1 and 2 called Oolite and Pioneer, respectively. If you want more space games, then go to space thread that’s already been made. If you want a game like Starbound but actually good, play Terraria.

I recommended OP should go to the space thread instead of making redundant threads. Elite lets you do fly around space, hire crew members, land on planets, take on quests, and explore. Starbound is just Terraria but shit and there's no point to bother playing it over Terraria except for muh space.

The problem in space isn't really the pressure. (As long as your orifices aren't allowed to expel your innards, your skin can handle the pressure difference.)
The big problem is the fucking radiation. Everyone who's gone beyond our magnetosphere has gotten cancer and died because the radiation is everywhere and dangerous.

Daily reminder that space doesn't exist. There is a dome that covers our fixed, immovable flat earth just as the Bible says.

NASA = hoaxers and professional liars using photoshop, green screens and underwater tanks. 'Nasa' means 'to deceive' in Hebrew. Their logo has a serpent tongue. Founded by Freemasons who dabbled into the occult.

There was this game released at the end of the PS1's lifespan called Martian Gothic (Unification), it's a survival horror game with some puzzle elements akin to classic RE/SH (even using the same control scheme).
The premise is you explore a seemingly abandoned space base that you crash landed in, you take turns playing with 3 (((diverse))) characters separately.
There are corpses lying around everywhere, and some of them get up and attack you, and the more you progress through the game the more corpses start getting up… If you shoot them down, they get up again after a while if you stick around the area or come back to it at a later time.
It's a nice mix of fear and frustration although the controls aged badly as they're kind of stiff. I never finished the game but I'm willing to come back to it sooner or later.
If there's any game that could benefit from a remake it's this one. The controls could be optimized and the pre-rendered backgrounds changed à la REmake. The diversity is already there so…

I fucking wish there was more. There's a very small number of space RTS games, and most of them are shit. The rest are all 4X games.
