By the way OP, if you have that game you should definitely get the Star trek armada 3 mod for it.

Not him, but damn are playable borg overpowered. I read that the playable version was brought down from the bossmode ai borg, so I thought I'd give them a try.

They're only kind of weak in the early game where all your shit is so slow you can't properly defend yourself if you are even slightly offensive. After that you quickly become an economic god with pretty much unlimited resources, and once you get a tactical cube, the game basically plays itself. Send that shit over to the nearest pirate base to eat it for levels, and it can solo everything.

>>252838189
Also, you can assimilate pirate and planetary defense ships into collective.
Other faction ships too.

>>252838597
>Implying I don't turn assimilation autocast off on everything because assimilated ships are wasting fleet cap on what could be more spheres

From what I recall, they tried to get crowd-funding for their games twice before, both times before the whole craze about it started, asked for around 400k euros and both times failed to reach the goal.

Sad really, when you see what other kinds of shit got funded.

Also, I much preferred the ship we had as the main one in the early missions than the alien one.

>>252835831

Not OP, but what version of Sins do I need for the mod to work?

>>252839395
You and me both nigga.
Space tech ships were superior.
Would have been cool if the entire game had been about those ships fighting in Sol system.

It was at the same time as a couple of other kickstarters. I tried starting a thread about it but it just died off instantly because not enough people have played it to recognize it.

Nexus 1 hard mode is suffering

>>252839608
Rebellion to my knowledge.
Although i think you can find the mod available for the other versions too.

After a check through moddb, it seems that the only version of it currently around is the one that requires rebellion.

I agree, it's lovely. You should look up an artist names Peter Elson. He was one of the main sources of inspiration for the ship designs - they actually named a character in the first game after him as tribute. His art is pretty cool.

I'm excited for both.

I love space enough to play both.

Most Star Citizen backers are just in because they played Freelancer, or followed the hype. There are few people among them who even know what Elite is, just like few actually are interested in space sims. They think it's all a war and are fighting as if there was an overabundance of space sims.

That's why there's such a "war". Most Elite Dangerous backers on the other hand are true space sim lovers and backed both, and don't really care to argue about anything, precisely because they know we've just been through 12 years without a good space sim.

Besides adding new models and your typical old factions (Taiidan, Turanic, Kadesh, Progenitor, Bentusi now?), nothing much.

I personally prefer both Complex and Simplex mods, but I loved the old PDS mod, especially during 1 on 1 capships battles. All those bullets, missiles and flak explosions, it looks like a game directed by Michael Bay.

As far as I know, there is no war. It's just one or two shitposters who like to instigate and stir people up. Also Elite Dangerous only has a general sometimes, so their dudes come into Star Citizen General and fuck around.

This game had a shitty fate, it sucks that they updated with new weapons, that really took away from the purpose of using the environment and 360 degrees of movement tactically, the weapon didn't matter.

Sadly it's fucking dead as hell now and bot matches are just not fun after a while.

They should have just released it for free, but it's too late now the Angry Birds developers own the IP and bought out Futuremark Games Studio

They have a different balance, but so far they do the exact same thing.

The only key difference is that in Elite, secondary thrusters have fixed positions, while in Star Citizen, many actually rotate around a pivot point: this makes the simulation more complex, but it's not the kind of complexity that make it "better" or "more interesting", it simply makes ships handle differently.

>>252851407

Well the old elite fans have typically backed both games and are excited for both.
The ones who favour ED on its own are typically younger ones who don't like multiplayer games since ED will let them dodge player conflict.

Meanwhile SC will have a fuckton of player conflict capacity.
And guilds. Which ED does not have.

In effect Frontier are trying to make a singleplayer game with multiplayer elements.

It isn't unless you're playing Taiidan and know what you're doing. Anyone else will get raped.

In some of these mods the Progs get a light granule, which is basically an OP ball of light that moves faster than any other ship and blows up any capship in one shot except a mothership.

Their units are shit though and dont have much variety. That's their weakness. Othewise they rely on Dreadnoughts and Sniper ships to beam you from far away. Break their defenses and you'll shit on them. Their units cant fight well up close.

SC is a full singleplayer Wing Commander style game. And an MMO currently in alpha, with playable multiplayer dogfighting mode. You can walk around in any of your ships, float outside of them if you like, etc. It's a giant space sim. Expected final release next year.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/

Elite Dangerous as I understand it is an MMO focusing on procedural generation to make a galaxy of content. Where you can just go jump into a random system where a battle is taking place and help out or not and etc. It's currently in beta much closer to release than SC. Expected final release much closer to now.

It runs kinda bad on DosBox. You could try glFrontier, it might run better, though I don't play Elite 2 much myself so I wouldn't know: http://tom.noflag.org.uk/glfrontier.html

And then there's Pioneer, an Elite 2 remake with very good graphics: https://youtu.be/1aVf-8qVdsg#t=126
Get it here: http://pioneerspacesim.net/

You also have an Elite remake, Oolite: http://www.oolite.org/
With plenty mods: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_List

Or you could play Elite 3: http://www.eliteforever.co.uk/files/ENCOUNTERS.rar

When will ED release? As far as I can tell their website only says 2014

How will it play? Will I be able to organize a group of bros, like 4-5, and cruise the galaxy looking for trade opportunities? Will we be able to explore for the sake of exploring, like will there be interesting things worth finding? I just wanna chill out in space with some friends

>>252855242
weird. i own this

Is the ED 'expansion pass' really trustworthy? You have no idea how much content they are going to put out. They would have to put out another whole game's worth of content to justify the price tag of it.

>>252855296
wrong thread?

>>252855169
You don't understand. Thea are not EVE. They are EXACTLY what you asked for, what you described.
You will be able to play Elite, absolutely alone if you want, the way you want it.

>>252855394
Ignore him he's shitposting

>>252855573
They planned it for the end of the yearn might coincide with Elite or Elite 2 anniversary, though that would mean a late september/early october release, and it's unlikely.

Otherwise there's everything you want: there's an MMO part, you can form groups with friends, cruise around, explore... we don't much about the game though, they're very secretive. We should know more once the beta is available at the end of the month.

>>252855887
Don't know why they're lying to you. It's a $15 sub tag, instanced space "dungeons", no trade, no ftl.

Why are there like 3 space threads?

>They would have to put out another whole game's worth of content to justify the price tag of it.
That's kinda what they want to do. Planned expansions are:

>Landing/ driving / prospecting on airless rocky planets, moons & asteroids
>Walking around interiors and combative boarding of other ships
>Combat and other interactions with other players and AIs in the internal areas of star ports
>Accessing richly detailed planetary surfaces
>Availability of giant ‘executive control’ ships to players

They're quite ambitious with it. It'll be worth the money for sure.

Homeworld 2 w/ FX Commander mod

>>252851941
I'd love something like that but set in our solar system.

Like the mid-period in our space exploration and travel, were we've colonized the solar system up to the closest Kuiper Belt objects.

Just total mastery and human colonization of the solar system, with hundreds of moons settled, asteroids, planets, deep space colonies and stations, etc.

The big thing in the background as you play is that there is currently an orbital yard building a massive starship for the journey to Alpha Centauri - sorta like in Planetes but not bound for Jupiter, the Jovian moons are filled with human settlements, this ship is bound for another star.

But otherwise there would be pirates too and bandits and outlaws, especially out by Pluto.

what ship is that? Looks cool.

Here's what I want to know, and I haven't been able to find videos on this.

At it's current state, does Space Engineers allow you to build a ship in multiplayer, where the game is stable enough to allow your friend to walk around the ship while you pilot it?

For some reason I'm fascinated by the idea of space games letting me walk around on the ship free-form, and I know SE let's you create a ship of virtually any size or shape. Problem is, I don't know if it would lag horribly if you had someone try to walk around while doing business as usual.

Someone told me to read them in the order they were written but should I read them in-universe chronologically?

>>252866475
Oh, no sorry, written order is still that. I'm just saying, if you get Absolution gap, you need to get Gal north to finish it. Gap doesn't end as well as it should have

>>252866731
Okay I'll do that if I do.

I have a Kindle so I just download whatever I read.

Reminds me of that game where there's no limit to what you can build which means you can eventually build a ship the size of a galaxy.

I was looking at it on steam during the sale and decided it probably sucked. So no.

The genre is ogre, let alone space RTSs.

Although homeworld 1 & 2 are getting remastered by gearbox

Still nothing compared to the second Death Star, which is 900km in diameter.

Is anyone else afraid that the Earth might be destroyed any time by events far beyond understanding? I often have dreams that the sun just falls out of the sky and we're left to die on here, or we crash into some horrifying space object.

Then I calm myself by saying that the Earth has existed for billions of years and such a thing happening in my lifetime would be like winning (or losing) the lottery.

I don't care if it's not /v/ related, I was hoping this thread was going to go in a different direction.

I only recently found out that if you live away from civilisation you can see amazing things at night.
It sucks that I happen to live in an area where all I can see are a few white dots.
