Is this even theoretically possible?

>>14361816

Any mod that's based off an IP is usually terribly balanced.

>>14363007

We Wuz DLC

I have a semi related question:

Does anyone know where I can get low-poly models of a few 40K imperium ships?

I'm making a VR chat map and want them up as background decor.

The SINS and EmpireAtWAr have 40K mods, but no way for me to convert/export from the native game format.

>>14364073

Just when it was getting gud it ended. Truly that was the final death kneel of the SciFi channel.

>>14364108

I was pissed that they cancelled the show just when the writers were finally embracing the genre and the setting. It was interesting to have some philosophical stuff and they way they portrayed the new alien races.

>Truly that was the final death kneel of the SciFi channel.

Defiance could've been great if they knew what to do with it.

Have you seen Stargate: Origins? It's the MGM answer to STD.

How is the Stargate mod for Sins of a Solar Empire?

>>14363877

With Empire at War you will need to find a tool that can convert .alo format. 3ds max has tools available for this. I have no idea what model format Sins of a Solar Empire since I've never played around with modding that. I wager that it will be easier than working with Empire at War though.

>>14363877

Have you tried to get the models from Battlefleet Gothic? They are likely the most detailed ones you will find unless you can find a 3d modeler who has spend a week or two making such models.

Supposedly the guys working on the Veratim Imperialus mod are trying to find a way to extract and use those models.

>>14364183

I've already fucked myself over with Star Wars and Star Trek by watching the new shit, I want to leave Stargate pure.

I wish there were more mods like Stargate TC, that Half Life mod was fun.

>>14366651

NEvermind.

Found a a converter that supports over 700 3D model formats!

http://3doc.i3dconverter.com/formats.html

>>14365677

>>14365878

No, it's shit.

Try SOTS, Distant Worlds or .. wtf was the name. It was a RT and you could build ships of any size, with only resources and time as a limit (one anon dumped all the empires resources into a generational project to build the biggest fucking AI doomship ever. His empire was destroyed just as it finished building and the ship now roams the stars, anihhilating any hostile species it encounters)

Try Vegastrike. It's opensource, has decent music, and is fucking broken. 0.4.3 version is the one you want

>>14365885

>Constantly crashing and corrupting saves

>Game slows to a crawl where it stops every second because the AI are fighting something

It's cool, but holistically it's shit.

>>14366694

Star Ruler 1?

>>14366766

Yes, Star Ruler, that's it!

I think I played 2.

>>14366776

If you liked the shipbuilding in 2 you should try 1, it has a lot more freedom. Get the Galactic Armory mod too.

>Star Ruler 1

Anyone wanna play some?

>>14367525

What exactly was wrong with Stellaris?

>>14365885

Can the guy even code properly?

>>14367888

I think it's made by a Slav so it does't use code, more so magic from a technomage.

>>14367678

aside form the atrocious combat system?

>>14367678

Severe lack of content. No proper diplomacy or trade, no espionage at all, combat is just blobs where the bigger number wins, every succesful war had to end with practically all enemy fleets destroyed and planets occupied, broken ground combat (number of defence armies very limited, no limit on invading armies), no sector governor AI (even though you had to create sectors once your empire got big).

Some of these things are being changed in the new update, like the wargoals, fleet sizes and space and ground combat. And I think they've actually put in Sector Governor AI by now. Of course if you want end game content, you better fork up those shekels, goy!

>>14367678

imagine an early access game that has potential, but never actually goes anywhere

>>14367924

And it hasn't been updated in forever because he's porting the entire game to a completely different coding language.

Why haven't we played Joint Operations Stargate mod?

>>14371088

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Just like every grind you subject yourself to.

>>14374284

Doesn't sound bad as a concept but if it doesn't have much content then it will be shit. Thanks for magnet I need to put up an updated Pulsar Lost Colony sometime

>>14375349

Last time I played it was still a badly developed multiplayer game so no.

>>14376333

>waiting for a patch that supposedly makes it easier

Grinding gets harder every patch thanks to the loud forumdads who can't play games that don't feel like hard labor.

Seriously, every time someone finds a good way to make money they patch it out because no fun allowed.

This one?

https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=3624756

Hey so my friends and I were looking for a space game to lay together. Think like the Star Trek MMO but you can be a team on the same ship. I'm okay with menumenumenu like Aurora but they want more of a 3-d experience. Anything like this exist?

>>14377858

Pulsar lost colony.

>>14376614

My autism isn't strong enough.

>>14377858

Search multicrew videos about Elite Dangerous, but read the posts above, it sucks outside of pvp unless you and your firends are massive autistic roleplayers.

Basically you can control the ship or a turret weapon if you are not the captain, or alternatively some ships can deploy small fighters and you can pilot one.

Ships support 1, 2 or 3 people depending on size.

Also sometime by the end of this year you are supposed to be able to purchase a Fleet Carrier and all your friends can park and launch from that big ship.

>>14378087

STO was never good

>>14375349

sounds like my experience with it

>>14377858

Seconding Pulsar, it's good though a bit limited on replayability.

>>14378087

a) the game was always bad

b) those first two images are nothing but lies, ground combat was fucking terrible and boring

>>14378221

pulsar seems like it has so much potential but it's just empty shallow and dumbed down to the furthest extreme. it should have been more like multiplayer dcs on the same ship in space

>>14378033

Hasn't Elite: Dangerous had some exploit for YEARS that allows you to avoid losing your ship by simply disconnecting?

>>14365604

Distant Worlds Universe

>>14376143

Fuck no, if anything it's just gotten more bloated

>>14376614

>superior Aurora4x

I got into Aurora for a while but combat is so simplistic and dogshit that there's nothing I really look forward to in the game. There is no real-life element to it, it's all black-and-white hitpoint damage values and armor layers, also fleet fire-control management makes me want to fucking tear my hair out.

>>14378354

distant worlds universe is a semi shit game that will jam due to code inefficiencies if you play a space opera scenario with lots of races, biggest universe and lots of stars. It really could have been significantly better if the devs didn't suck cock and optimize it so that by mid game you won't get stutters that put it at like 3 frames per second before it comes to a complete halt for another second. I wanted to like it, but I can't like what I can't play. Genociding inferior races was a refreshing minor thing that is lacking in all the cuck 4x games.

>>14378371

>why am i getting performance issues when i put everything on its highest settings while using a toaster?

>what a shit game

mate.

>>14378347

Once the ship is lost? yes but it has to happen while you are away from your ship, i.e not sitting in the cockpit.

but since there are several ways to quit a battle before melting, you don't even need to use that often.

Is there a soundtrack that's captured the emptiness of space as well as the music artem bank did for star ruler?

>>14378618

SR soundtrack was pretty generic tbh

>>14378033

>Fleet Carrier

I can't wait to see how they fuck it up. I'm still pissed about only being able to launch one fighter because of the online that I totally ignore.

>>14378662

It wasn't generic, it was unassuming and played as an atmospheric backdrop to a slow game mostly about colony ships drifting through the vast emptiness of space, as well as the slow and steady ramping up of a galactic economy before it explodes into a brutal genocide. It portrays a space empire perfectly. Yours is more generic you shittaste.

>>14378618

>>14378662

>>14378706

The calmer, ambient parts of Avorion's soundtrack were unexpectedly good. For Star Ruler, though, great as the game was, I don't see what anybody would particularly like about its soundtrack, which is so generic, lifeless, and disconnected that it sounds like it was assembled piecemeal off of a bunch of royalty-free music stores. The whole thing is bargain basement Space Chillout with a bunch of boring synthetic orchestral tracks thrown in for no reason.

>>14378706

>royalty free tier forgettable the second you turn the game off soundrack is great

>but the objectively most memorable soundtrack in all spess gaymen is generic

you have to be at least 18 in order to post on this board

>>14378841

Obligatory.

>always play terran

>never get to hear best track in the game

>>14378965

But will it be inspired by LOGH? :^)

>>14378490

>Stellaris

>holocaster

It's especially hilarious because, one, devs are cucked swedistanis and two, it's actually one of the better ways to play the game

>>14376333

I hop on every now and then to take my ships out of a spin and pretend I'm going to get somewhere.

If I had some people to chat with while playing I'd probably log on more.

Once you get your Conda/Corvette/Clipper all that's left is the tedium of engineering.

>>14379173

Found it - Children of a Dead Earth

>>14379214

Engineering is one of the worst system I have seen in a game in a a while. Sandro Sammarco couldn't design his way out of a paper box, they should had let go that disaster on two legs after the abortion that was the 2.0 series pf expansion. Ot nearly killed the game.

>>14367678

Shittily coded user interface that causes most of the lag you experience in late game.

>>14378446

I never got past the take back your base mission because after beating it I decided to restart the mission and then got bored

>>14377930

>>14378033

>>14378221

Looking into Pulsar, pushing Elite Dangerous as well. One already owns it so hoping we can get other two on board. Thanks anons.

>>14378965

>>14384326

I thought you said apeship and was thinking Niggers in space?

>>14384634

GAY NIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE

>>14380620

As far as i know, Klingon and Romulan tactical captains were able to do that as well.

Is there a mod based on The Orville yet?

>>14385209

No but an average Pulsar Lost Colony playthrough with /v/ comes close.

>>14385651

>>14384938

The early game is very tedious now, I fear. Every bloody system has to be manually done, you have to worry about manual expension and when it comes to an early war it seems impossible to actually get a killing blow in, you can only pinch a territory or two. It doesn't help the AI is a cheating nigger and can drop a fleet twice your size with no way to pay the upkeep for it.

>>14385724

Stellaris has plenty of problems but the AI doesn't cheat resources. Maybe your economy is just shit.

>>14385724

Yes there definitely needs to be an autoclaim mechanic.

>>14385724

Wars are now work in a much more realistic way, in my opinion. You always fought for territory anyway (In the form of planets, then), you simply have more control over which territories you want.

>it seems impossible to actually get a killing blow in

War exhaustion is a good idea, but as of now it is so severely, so utterly and completely out of tune that it feels like a gigantic fucking hassle to do anything with it, so I'll agree

>>14385842

Play any purifier or Barbaric Despoilers. They're fighter's keepers that disregard entirely the claim system.

>>14386105

I worded that poorly, I meant the building of starbases.

>declare war to vassalize

>completely outgun the litle bitch and his fed fuccbois

>war attrition climbs so fast I wasnt even able to take one planet from him before white peace was forced

this shit is ridiculous

it is extremely EZ to just anschluss parts of the territory but its nigh impossible to actually vassilize

>>14365604

Aurora4x for complexity

Sword of the Stars for FUN

So what was your first Space game/the one that really got you into the genre? Mine was Star Trek Starfleet Academy for the 32X (yes I was the only kid I knew who had a 32X). Before this game I had only played really simple console platformers and such, the complexity was pretty overwhelming at the time in comparison to other titles, but I ended up really liking it and other games felt lacking in comparison which resulted in me drifting away from consoles and into the realm of PC gaming. The space battles are clunkier than they should be since you aim with the dpad instead of a mouse or flight stick, but aside from that I think it holds up pretty well, though that may be due to nostalgia.

>>14389272

Dark Star One. I can't remember any older space game I played.

>>14363877

X-wing Starfighter, following that, Imperium Galactica 2 and Freespace. I spend some time playing the Descent series, but only when visiting others, so I never got that much into it.

>>14389272

Privateer 2 : The Darkening

>>14389272

Either space quest or wing commander or some old starwars game. Most likely space quest.

>>14389272

I can't remember the name of it, but it was a top-down 2D kinda lighthearted explorey, sandbox-like game. A main focus of it was trading in bulk, you could have a fleet and such, but it was very, iunno, old fashion. Even back when I played it. Only specific detail I can recall is that there was a planet full of Scotts or Irishmen or the like which got glassed. Got me hooked on the entire genre.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about please tell me. This has legitimately kept me awake some nights

>>14361921

I felt like the Halo mod for SotSE was fairly well balanced. They managed to make a playable game where one faction has shields and one faction doesn't have shields while reproducing the "tone" of the Halo series where the early game has humans getting shitwrecked by aliens but the endgame has humans shitwrecking the aliens back.

>>14389272

Mathblaster Plus on DOS followed by Terminal Velocity.

my favorite part was building rockets on the launch pad and sending them into space

>>14392025

oh and I'm pretty sure it was movies or TV that got me into the genre and not really a game

>>14389272

Freespace 2, later X2

>>14386508

>>14366694

I always heard bad things about Sword of the Stars. Mostly about how buggy it was. I might pirate it just to see what it's like.

>>14385753

>block in AI into single system

>only has his home planet

>declare war

>he sends over 20 corvettes

Yeah, nah, the AI cheats.

>>14394081

I should've clarified: it didn't use to cheat. I checked the forums and other people are complaining about what you had too, so maybe that's yet another thing they've fucked up with 2.0.

>>14393863

Its the 2nd game thats shitty and buggy that essentially ruined the series.

The first one had a rough start but it had like 4 expansions since and ironed most of its shit out.

To anons playing Stellaris: due to system tech and unity penalties, it's optimal to claim as few systems as possible and colonise all the planets you can instead, then go voidborn (even with habitats nerf).

>>14391177

Escape Velocity: Nova

That was a great game. I made a mod for it back in the day.

>>14396828

Fuck, wrong video

>>14396453

>Some sort of disciplinarian to keep the crew in order through fear or spankings

I think that would be the First Officer/First Mate who's job is to deal with all the crew disputes that are beneath the Captain and to go n dangerous away missions while the Captain sips Earl Grey

You'll need a snarky, quippy ace pilot for the shuttle/fighter craft who can be loved by everyone and die in tragic circumstances giving his life for his comrades then healsl-I mean Doctor can pull another clone out of the tube

>>14392111

HMmmm… Empyrion is pretty rad.

And you get a LOT of resources from a single deposit, so it's not really grindy.

It took me 15 minutes to gather enough iron and copper for an entire base + small fighter.

>>14397037

Who cleans the ship though?

>>14396453

>What would an anon ship crew need to function?

>all fighting stops as anons pile into the cantina to sit in beanbags eating plates filled with tendies and their preferred sauces watching moeshit like Yuru Camp and Girls Last Tour

>>14398858

Because no world is complete without an irredeemable evil.

Endless Space 2 has nice music

>>14396939

I shit my pants in the abandoned reactor. The inner design is spooky and the alien scorpion-like things are fucking dangerous.

Speaking of vehicles - you do have a bike and hovertanks (which are more powerful than fighters)

>>14384298

yeah women are fucked.

One of my favorite games was X3:TC/AP. I see a bunch of games that look similar but I don't know if they are any good.

So has there been a good sandbox space game, trading, piracy etc. in the past 7 years?

>>14404004

Evochron sort of got forgotten about. What happened to it?

>>14404160

Nothing, the guy that makes the Evochron games still makes Evochron games like he did the last 20 years and he will do the next 20 years. Last Evochron Legacy update was just a couple of weeks ago.

>>14404004

Yeah I had a look at it and it's not for me. Then again nothing I found on steam looked interesting so I'm done.

>>14417824

Yes

>>14417826

aww

Just a quick question, are the devs of Surviving Mars SJWs? I've always wanted a Mars colonisation game and I'm thinking of buying it but these days most devs are cancer.

>>14426628

Freespace is better if you want a story and more SPACE

Descent is better if you want to play Quake using a Starfighter.

>>14426733

Diaspora and Wing Commander and I think even Babylon 5 are standalones.

While a bit overused Blue Planet is worth checking out. Silent Threat Reborn is also heavily worth checking out. Also you can play FS1 using FS2Open.

Since Elite Dangerous isn't good yet, what are some of the best Space trading games? Tried to play Darkstar One but unfortunately got the unfixable loading zone bug.

>>14431343

The sad thing is he's really not.

>>14433127

-All the fabled net-code improvements have been moved back a patch.

-Basic ship component systems still not in.

-The advanced military fighter they claimed that they would never sell is getting a civilian variant and concept sale after all.

-Still no way to buy and/or rent ship weapons or ships inside their test universe.

-Ship stat webpages were updated… with information that doesn't represent the current stat of the game

-Still no mining, refueling or ship repair mechanic that's not npc handwavium

-Still don't even have a full playable solar system or populated planet

-they tried adding the basic ship insurance and persistence system, but it's basically unplayable buggy.

-Sounds like they're getting ready to start doing private tests for alpha 3.1. But the features people cared about were pushed back to a later patch so no one gives a shit

Frankly, I regret backing the game now. Not even because I think it's a scam or never coming out. I'm just really unhappy with a lot of the recent game decisions they're making. They're basically turning ships into fucking MMO classes , where what ever role/job you want to do, you'll need a whole separate special ship to do it. And the newer profession ships barely even have weapons now, meaning you'll need escorts to do fucking anything.

>>14434279

Multiplayer is the cancer killing space games.

>>14434279

You can probably get a refund one way or another. If you're a yuropoor it's really easy because you can just point towards the "consumer can get a refund as long as the full product hasn't been delivered" EU law.

>>14434305

It's kind of crazy now. All the multi-purpose ships they sold during original kickstarter have been downgraded into somewhat fighty hybrid freighters that get a few extra guns at the cost of having a quarter or less of the cargo that newer dedicated freighters carry. Even the fancy "high-end" ship that was sold back then as the millennium falcon of the game and the biggest ship able to dogfight is a slow flying brick that can't defend itself.

At the current rate, a new player's experience will be flying a cockroach sized ship, that's slow, has piddly shit defenses, and holds a single digit worth of cargo, for dozens of hours doing low pay shit transport jobs to grind up the cash to reach the ship price tiers where all the mining, repair, refueling, combat options actually begin. A fucking Elite Dangerous Sidewinder will seem like the ship of gods, able to do anything, compared to SC's starter ships. This design is probably intentional to push new players into crewing the whales' thousand dollar capital ships.

>>14376143

Last patch smoothed some shit things out mainly engineering. It's better now. If you don't like it now wait a few more major patches, they're focusing on fixing up the core gameplay.

I've always liked it though. As far as space flight sim is, it's the most immersive and it has the best sound any game has ever had.

>>14434305

SC was supposed to be single player originally, wasn't it? Then they got into their heads to make an EVE killer.

>>14434497

iirc SC was supposed to be similar to ED but with a better multiplayer component and more player interaction affecting the universe, plus an actual story in the form of Squadron51 or whatever it was called.

I guess you could say it was supposed to be more like a multiplayer X-like, then they decided it should be the one game where you can do literally anything in a way that puts Todd Howard himself to shame.

>>14434497

It was always MMO Elite style, the single player component is called Squadron something and is still a thing.

>>14434497

It started out as a next gen wing commander/freelancer hybrid with some multiplayer elements… then it ballooned into some crazy 1st person EVE online with fps combat and multi-crew ships you walk around on and hundreds of systems.

The single player campaign is still being worked on but it gets less press because it doesn't sell ship jpgs like the online portion does. They've wasted way too much of the budget on named actors and chances are it will be more cut-scenes than game play.

>>14434497

The original game was Squadron 42 which got all the Wing Commander fags aboard. Then it ballooned out of control into Freelancer 2.0 and now you got Jpeg Simulator today and chased away all the Wing Commander fags.

>>14434543

Didn't they also outsource a lot of the game to other devs who turned out to produce absolute shit so they are having to remake everything?

>>14434855

some of the countless remakes and revisions were that the developers they outsourced to were idiots, some is because Chris Roberts decided to change some new element of the game that requires the team practically start from scratch for the 20th time.

>>14434975

Also because of fundamental problems they have been struggling with from the start, like trying to make an MMO in the cry engine.

Why do I find this weirdly sexual?

>Chris Roberts decided to change some new element of the game that requires the team practically start from scratch for the 20th time.

Absolute wew. So he's going "Hey guys! Make us a game but we're going to be constantly changing the engine while you work on shit that will no longer be compatible with our modules! Great idea right guize?"

Seriously what the fuck is his problem? Logic would have dictated that he start with Squadron 42, make that first so you have a stable game engine to base your game off of, then add in modules later and gradually build up the game over time so there is something there to stick to. Why the fuck is the retard trying to do absolutely everything at once and be surprised when you throw all the shit at a wall and discover hardly anything sticks?

>>14435006

>Why do I find this weirdly sexual?

Not the slightest clue, friendo.

>what the fuck is his problem?

All vision and no practicality. He is a fool. I've also heard they payed outrageous amounts in modelling outsourcing.

>>14435013

I've said this before: there will be suicides. Roberts will need private security too.

>>14435006

I think he may be like Mr Shitface. He may be good at making games, but is completely unable to take any administrative role and constantly needs someone ready to shove a boot up his ass when he starts fucking around.

>>14435796

Idea men are useless.

>>14435006

>Seriously what the fuck is his problem?

He's an idea guy/perfectionist. It's a big problem if there's no one on top of him to tell him "no".

If Microsoft didn't step in during Freelancer then the game would still be in development.

Going with the Crytek engine was one of the dumbest mistakes they've made so far. It isn't documented very well at all and isn't built with online space MMO type gameplay in mind in the slightest. they've had to make such a ridiculous amount of changes to the engine that they were much better off just building one from scratch instead of desperately trying to make this one work. I've heard the edits they had to make to Cryengine were so severe that they had to track down and hire the people who made it in the first place just to get basic stuff functional. If they only managed to hit their original kickstarter goal of $500,000 this project would have gone up in flames so goddamn hard, the extra cash seems to just be delaying the inevitable at this point.

The great thing about this is that I'm not invested in it at all. If it fails I get metric fucktons of scahdenfreude from SC backers to comb through, enjoy and share with you all that should last quite some time. If it succeeds then we get a game on par with previous Wing Commander titles with a nifty online mode to boot. I'm totally fine with either outcome.

CiG was working with the Crytek developers from the very beginning to try and get the most out of the engine, which isn't unheard of. It was part of the deal that CiG subsequently broke and is getting sued over.

The deal went something like, Crytek: we promise to let you use our engine and help you make game. Cloud Imperium: we promise to exclusively use Cryengine, we promise to use Cryengine to make ONE (1) game and no standalone games like Squadron 42, we promise to share every change we make with Crytek, and we promise to display the Cryengine trademark in the game and promotional materials. None of that happened.

The six gorillion dollar man literally broke every promise he ever made.

>>14438336

>Squadron 42

>it isn't even finished

CiG hasn't delivered anything but empty promises. They got like two games in early access and people expect Star Citizen to deliver?

Quark isn't regarded as evil by anyone with two brain cells. He's a force for the traditional Ferenginar and mostly just tries to make money. These are both admirable things. He fights every step of the way against the decay of Ferengi society and its fall into feminist decadence. He's like an echo of American history. That is what the Ferengi were supposed to be, anyway; Old American merchants.

>>14396135

Influence is the dumbest shit. Why would a hive mind/machine intelligence need political influence to resettle one of its bodies?

>>14417922

Don't know about the devs but the publishers are paradox interactive who are the physical incarnation of the act of cuckolding so i would recommend a pirate

Which space game has the best ships and customization?

I recently tried out X: Rebirth, and I was bummed out, since it doesn't look like you can change your ship. I can't find anything close to Freelancer.

>>14439153

The only solace I took in posting this was that even though they ruined Oberstien everyone else looks worse

>>14374413

Yes, please do!

>>14439160

Are there really no other games similar to Freelancer, where you can buy and customize your ship in a sort-of open world?

>>14439794

Elite dangerous I suppose if you can stand the autism and grind

>>14439794

Rebel Galaxy and Starpoint Gemini for starters. X Series if you want it bigger and better.

>>14439125

see >>14404004

>>14439828

Forgot about Rebel Galaxy, played it and it was pretty good. I guess I'll try out Starpoint Gemini. I saw X Rebirth getting a lot of shit, should I have started with another one in the series?

>>14439830

Should I try Evochron Legacy, the latest one?

Also, I remember playing Wing Commander: Privateer a long time ago, and it was really comfy.

>>14440017

>X-Rebirth

Well it isn't called X-Stillbirth for nothing. X3 is a good bet with plenty of good mods to keep you entertained.

>>14439153

Legend of the Galactic Twinks.

Now I'm a bit worried about the new season of Ghost in the Shell.

>>14439833

That looks promising.

>>14440340

You talking about the dev or the numale?

>>14441806

>tfw original HW1 has insufferably low animation keys

>tfw no proper HW1 remake/ HD mod

JUST

>>14439153

>Cazelnes is now a glasses wearing jew

I mean, it's fitting i guess?

>>14441942

>honorable family man

>filthy scheming jew

Pick one.

>>14439833

This actually looks like it has gameplay unlike ED.

>>14441806

You left out *destabilises galactic politics, unleashing an age of war and chaos that let the vaygr conquer half the place despite being nomadic savages and left the every part of the Taiidan empire left in a civil war and every tin pot dictator scrambling to grab defenceless systems*

And also *unleashed the beast on the galaxy, bringing it closer than it has ever been in its entire history, to having every sentient being in the galaxy turned into spare parts for the beast.*

>>14440340

>>14440234

At least it wasn't this :^)

Anyone wish there was a space game like Sea Of Theives? Where you can walk around your ship, and it takes multiple people to pilot it. Like bridge crew, only its a full real game not just a tech demo

>>14442653

>>14442653

>3D movement in Rebel Galaxy

??????

>>14442673

Pulsar?

>>14442673

>multiplayer

NO. This what kills games.

>>14442683

Not really, it depends what kind of game it is. Obviously some genres don't work well with multiplayer, but as long as you give the player enough choice, but not too much choice, it can work really well.

>>14442681

What's the gameplay like besides what I mentioned? Is it good despite being an Early Access game?

>>14442676

It was a demo they pitched to EA which EA said no to.

>>14442721

It's Space Water Naval Ships basically

>>14442721

>Space fighter

You're in a capital ship anon.

>>14441858

Numale.

>Got my EvE account back.

Guess i'm strapping back in.

>>14442696

Pirate it and find out. We played it together on /v/ on occasion. i'm sure it'll come up in a game night again.

>>14442712

Ah, fair enough.

>>14443757

>Starsector is still being made

How long has it been now?

>>14426733

Flames of War

Derelict

Exile

>>14443757

Nope, dev confirmed it'll take a bit longer.

What's funny is that Tiandong and Exigency still haven't updated.

>Grand Admiral Dies to Tentacle Monsters

>Pellaeon was mentioned in 0:28-0:30

Disney needs to be gassed

>>14445018

>Ezra

Oy vey

>>14445018

>They litterally turned Thrawn into a saturday morning cartoon villian.

Although he was the best thing about that show. Him and not Kyle space wolf Jedi.

>Foiled a few rebel attempts because he is the only commanding officer that remembers what locks are.

Then again, Thrawn didn't really have much competiion.

>>14444560

I bought my Starsector license in 2012. At least they have more to show than jpegs.

>>14445018

Talk about stupid. Space whales that ram into million ton ships and seem to be immune to turbolasers.

Disney really needs to be gassed.

>>14446191

Should do an edit With Mark on /v/

>>14445018

Filoni said he didn't died… Our blue friend didn't suffered enough…

>>14446212

Aren't planet killers generally not wise in space 4x games? You lose out on a possible production center and associated resources because most don't let you mine or really interact with dead worlds.

>>14446574

They're like nukes irl. They're just there to scare the living dickshit out of other people/fungus.

>>14439794

you want void destroyer 2 man

just make sure to get the black skybox mod.

>>14448436

I wonder if the dev still posts on /v/ or /agdg/. I remember him asking for advice on the first one way back in 4chan.

>>14442683

Yeah, multiplayer is pure cancer 99% of the time.

>>14446574

Not in Stellaris. Cracking a planet gives you a buffed mine (you can dig the carcass for raw resource), seal aplanet gives you some sience-points, and neutralizing (kill every living thing on the surface) give you the whole planet.

Sadly every of the planet-killers looks the same (like a butt plug), and work like shit. You can technically goes into autistic Star Wars and blow them up with one little space ship since these "beast" have absolutly no defense. which could be a fun concept, if you could order your fucking fleet to defend the flying garbage!

X4 soon?
