Everspace is breddy gud

>>379523443
I had a look at that, is there much meat to the game?
Also how's the ship variety? Is it just fighters/corvette size? I got that impression from the style of combat

Reminder that Freespace Open exists which is a modernized engine of the second game and has the first one with tons of bonus content ported to it.

You have a choice of three ships, one unlocked from the start.
Interceptor: middle of the road between survivability and weaponry, can mount the most stuff, not amazing in any way but always serviceable
Scout: cloak&dagger, very little shields and hull, can use teleporters and cloaking devices, comes with a shock rifle so you generally want to charge it and snipe someone before cloaking and changing position to keep out of harm's way (shock rifle has 4000 range and is hitscan, the highest of any weapon)
Gunship: no shield, lot of armor (percentage damage reduction), very mean guns and a automatic turret, you generally want to learn to dodge since you don't have a normal shield and craft lots of consumables (especially damage reducing/enhancing ones) to really dish out the pain, it's other exclusive device is a front facing shield that when activated makes you completely invulnerable from the front, great for killing corvettes, plus you can activate it and the turret at the same time

Every time you die you can use your earned money to buy upgrades that persist between runs, any unspent money are lost once you commence a new run so try to maximize spending

Any recommendations to someone who wants something like the expanse? Besides children of dead earth, it's on my to play list.

>>379524312
Oh man, I'd love a game like that
Closest you're gonna get is probably Starsector

Not him but how varied is the galaxy? Are there any comfy space ports to dock at?

diaspora is a neat freespace 2 mod. it's in the BSG universe and you fly vipers and blow up cylon fucking shits. if you like BSG i highly suggest it.

>>379524987
Think FTL mixed with Freespace.
You go from area to area, zone to zone killing stuff and then jumping on to the next.
There is also a story you progressively discover as you progress through the game.
Pretty much All You Need Is Kill: Spaceship edition

>>379524152
>>379524509
I'm kinda hazy on how that game plays or is.
What exactly is it?

>>379526856
Mount and Blade in space
There's a big fucking map to roam around in and do shit, fighting battles, bounty hunting, exploration, salvage, trading, smuggling
Even more with mods

>>379526856
Mount&Blade in space
Have ship, kill stuff or do scavenging or other stuff, get money, get more ships, kill more stuff, get more ships, repeat until god
It's rather barebones in my opininion but has a great modding support and - community, so tons of content there

>>379527059
>>379527107
Sounds slightly interesting I'll have to check it up.

On another note I'm still salty the early microsoft games like Freelancer, Zoo Tycoon and shit aren't available for digital.

>>379523256
GalCiv 3 is quite fun. I don't ever see anybody else around here mention it but it has a feel not at all unlike Master of Orion 2 from back in the day.

I'm playing Stellaris now but I'm still very early. I like Paradox's shit in general but of course they take years after release to get it complete.

We are in some weird times.There's loads of space games but none are in a finished/good state

>>379527872
This is kinda the issue.
There was a big drought of space games and then suddenly a ton started getting fired out like star drive, star ruler, gal civ 3.

But they're all kinda half baked.
Stellaris is the one I'm keeping my eye on as with paradox its got a fuckton of potential.
Everspace is also good too.

Are there any single player "open-space" sort of games that I can just fly a space ship around aimlessly in space, shoot things, not required but I can also customize my spaceship, oh, and its not top down and instead 3D?

What are some games that I can explore spaceships in?

>>379528227
Alien Isolation

>>379528206
Starpoint Gemini Warlords is pretty good.
The painting system is weird but pretty good for colouring your own ships. You also have control of your own faction and can choose to wage war etc.

I mean, I get that it was made by 2 guys and a 2d flight form isn't for everyone, but the game was britty good.

>>379524029
I do every now and then. Like Elite: Dangerous ,there's not much to do . I wish it has some sort of bounty/police license though.

>>379528007
There's also Endless Space 2, now that it's mostly playable.
>>379529456
It's an RPG where your role is the entire empire.
There are even quests and heroes. It's kinda like HOMM in space.

A horrible game that barely has anything to do with X-1,2,3
Maybe get it in a 1$ bin if it goes for a sale like that, but I personally wouldn't even waste HDD space on it.
That thing disappointing me more than when I saw what Sacred 3 turned out to be.

>>379530389
Shit, even with 4.0 patch? That's sad.
Oh well, off to the X3 with me then. Thanks anon.

>>379530324
I wish SC wasn't an unoptimized, expensive piece of early-access. It looks amazing and I'm afraid my PC couldn't keep up.
>>379530626
They've been trying to fix the game for years but they don't see what the real problem is.
I never got into the X series because of how vast it really is. It's lonely as hell and will burn you out if you aren't overwhelmingly excited about piloting a space ship from A to B then repeating it with combat and plot in between.
If you are the autistic kind of guy with joysticks and a comfy space-chair, I am more envious of you than any other person in the world because I really, really just want to fly around spess, but get bored really quick.

Is the endless space 2 map sharing desync thing fixed yet?

If you enter multiplayer and engage in a map sharing treaty, it will desync like every other fucking turn.

Other than that, the game is really damn good. There are flaws, but compared to how satisfying each of the many and varied different systems are, it's not much.

Just worried that it won't get off the ground after its release with a major bug.

>>379531075
It's pretty optimized currently,you can get 60 fps on normal with 1050ti.
But they need to lower the amount of people on the servers until they fix the netcode

Automation policies, you goof.
I'm not a numbers autist or anything but I enjoy the fids system. All the resources have different systems and it's good at letting you specialize.

>>379531075
>If you are the autistic kind of guy with joysticks and a comfy space-chair
Not really. I haven't played any single player space exploration games actually, apart from No Man's Sky. The thing is, I have a massive turn on for these kind of games but it seems there isn't any decent ones that worth the time.
Sometimes I just want to turn my phone off, put on my headphones and do basic, chore kinda things in games. I mean, I sometimes load StarCraft 2 or Warcraft 3 and play by myself, without any opponents, just building a base and watching units move one place to another. I just want a decent solo space game where I could do all these kinda pointless things, but in the void of the vacuum.

>>379531548
Try it during a freefly event,heck chances are you'll get your fill during it and won't spoil yourself.
3.0 is coming late July/start of August there's bound to be one then

>>379531860
>just let the game play itself dude!

wow great rebuttal anon

>>379531908
Vacuous chores in space sounds like Elite dangerous fits the bill
I love the game, but all the passtimes are just variants of euro truck simulator in space. Combat is fun as hell, but it's utterly unrewarding. I'd still recommend trying it, I go back and have fun every month or so.

>>379531356
>medium settings

Life is suffering for the poor.
>>379531908
If you like building and just flying around, I suggest Space Engineers. There are a ton of mods and stuff. You can also land on planets, but the game can be a little buggy at times and there are little to no enemies.

Remember, CLANG is watching you.

>>379532168
>pretending to be retarded
wow great rebuttal anon

So I've got "Rebel Galaxy" sitting in my Steam library. I don't even remember when I got this game. Is it any good? Should I even bother installing it?

so far this year I tried

>Endless Space 2
As of 1.0.5. it's really fucking buggy and barely has any improvements over the first game

>Everspace
Dogshit. Gets boring in 2 hours.

>Rebel Galaxy
Ass Creed style 2D arcade ship controls; like Everspace it gets old very fast but it has a better sense of progression to keep you a little bit motivated in playing

>>379532206
The later you start playing the better state the game will be in

>>379528546
Dead Space's space-industrial-gritty aesthetic makes me fucking diamonds, Alien Isolation too but that's because it was so close to the original movie

Zigfrak.

Freelancer and X3 are the top freeroam space games where you can do whatever you want. X3 has a lot more content than Freelancer, but Freelancer's combat is top fun and the areas to explore are comfy as fuck.

What features was freelancer supposed to have anyway?

>>379536321

Centuries. Idr. Been about six months since I played, tried to start a medium galaxy and about halfway through reclaiming it shit started hitching, then any combat became impossible eventually.

1. What space game lets you get the feel of really being in control of a full blown, pic-related battlecruiser? Elite Dangerous scratches my fighter/freighter itch but its large ships don't entirely feel like they were worth the wait for me.

2. What's a really good space-themed RPG that isn't Mass Effect 1 or 2, or KOTOR 1 or 2?

Picked up Gal Civ 3 the other day. Liking it so far, though I think it'll take me some time to get used to the amount of ship design and tech tree options.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident was pretty nice. I enjoyed it more before the end of the first part of the game with the hard sci-fi ships.

Birth of a Federation is based on the MoO2 engine, set in the Star Trek Universe as well. Only real issue is it has memory leaks that were never fixed. Strange Adventures in Infinite Space was pretty cool too.

>>379527648
Issue with Stellaris is that combat just isn't good. If planets actually had a building for anti-space weaponry, it'd be much more interesting than "Destroy the enemy fleet, siege them out". That and add a value where smaller fleets with hulls fulfilling certain roles make them more effective than a gamey strategy of massing basic corvettes. It also feels like a simplified Distant Worlds to me too.

Pic related is one my more favorite ships though.

The most ambitious attempt at immersing the player in a galaxy that reacts to yet doesnt revolve around the player with incredible scale and depth...is also the most flawed. Butt fuck it I love putting on my nice headphones and doing some missions in X Rebirth. The fact that I can walk around my ship and space ports, even though it sucks at doing this, is immersive. I love this game like a retarded child and I still have no idea what the fuck im doing till this day.

I with ED had a proper arcade mode. Its so hard for me to find a space game that fit my tastes. Last one was Earth and Beyond.

I wish ED had a mode where the controls were simplified and a bunch of shit was automated/reduced. Fuel/heat management gets too much at times and just learning to land inside a space station is fucking science on its own. Its a great sim but I want something arcadey where I can just shoot space monsters, mine asteroids, collect loot to equip to my ship, and earn money to buy bigger more badass ships. All in third person camera so I can oogle my ship in the process.

>>379545451

I met the lead developer of X Bernd
at gamescom i believe it was 2012 or 11 and i asked him after a X Rebirth presentation: "Hey will i be able to pilot battleships?" His Answer was an annoyed: "How would you fly a big battleship with a joystick without hitting a station or something?!" I could not answer that question because it took me totally off-guard. I would never imagine playing this gigantic economic and management simulation with a joystick.
I thought about that answer some time and i realized that the developers did not understand why people played X3 and they were pretty much detached form their fan base. So i knew that X Rebirth would be a massive blunder for me and Egosoft. And well it went just as i expected.

While I agree with you, I think PvP is played by manually using the mouse to adjust the course of your ship. If you orbit, you're playing wrong.

Then again, I might be wrong.

I want a game where crew management is the most important part, that still carries Homeworld's wonder of exploring a whole new world.

>>379532501
The only decent space game I've played in the past 3-4 years is probably starsector and even that only in the past month

It's amazing how awful the genre is

Every time I think a game might end up being decent the devs completely drop the ball.

>>379549586
there's a whole mod faction dedicated to broadside ships

>>379541063
Too bad you can't pilot destroyers or capital ships in that game.

>>379547265
Sounds like you need to git gud

If you play strategically, you can use cover and place yourself where you're at an advantage even in a Dreadnought

>>379549526

Well it was more about "you got a fast ass with a BB and you will hit something with it, because joysticks..." The statement still baffles me to this day.

>>379549287 (You)
Well i played many games out of 2000 and non of the UI ever bothered me. I like having organs and creep on my UI when playing Zerg. Or having metal and wires when playing Terran. It adds to the immersion.
The UI in all the Endless games is the hard opposite its just clean black and withe blandness with no character.
And the main problem is most games nowadays just have a generic bland "clean" UI. It feels like every UI designer visited the same html 5 design course. Games should have a creative uniqueness to them and even by removing something like thematic UI they loose some of that.

There is a game called Avorion, where i build this.
And the best thing is.
There is ramming damage.

>>379550216
Mods fixed that.

did any of you niggers ever play the Galactic Conquest mod for BF1942?

>>379550037
Which one?
It would fix one part but i have more gripes with the game. I don't really like the flux mechanic and most of the weapons really feel unimpactfull.

the faster your ship moves, the more you'll want to control it manually to make the best of yours and the enemy's range brackets

literally the only combat strategy in the game that involves any kind of skill

This game was so good in the closed alpha/beta.

Then they introduced the WoT korean grind and the community took a dive into the mariana trench. So sad to see a stillborn.

/v/lancer and various other private servers

>>379549586
Well when you're fighting against a speedy ship that can easily retreat with a lil teleport, it's obvious that the solution is to throw even speedier things at it. It helps that the Wolf is very shit at dealing with things that arent in front of it.

>Starpoint Gemini

I heard some reviews about how buggy it is. Is it fun? What can I compare it to? Is it truly Freelancer with capital ships?

>>379551229
yeah the sprites are not that great.
I once made a mod for that game myself but i think it does not work anymore and most of the good tools like a boundary drawer for sprites are not supported anymore.
My mod added a gigantic space Bismark with turrets and all. It had no Shields but tons of armor. Two salvos of all the main 150mm guns killed an onslaught.

>>379551457
Thanks anon. Can I play /v/lancer on single player?

2 was pretty janky, but Warlords seems to be intent on fixing its problems judging by how devs are communicating. You can even conquer zones and build your own fleets to patrol your space or follow you as a fleet.

>>379551642
Yes

>>379551676
kek
does that actually happen unmodded?

>>379523719
I need to retry installing this. First time I tried somewhere along the line something fucked up and I was just playing the vanilla game without any modifications no matter what I did.

>>379551765
Amazing. Be right back, downloading.

>>379551785
All I had were Honorverse and Star Wars mods, so apparently it happens unmodded. Found Sol a few systems away from Manticore late in the game

I played the shit out of FTL and various mods for it, what else can I play that's similar? I guess it's more of a dice simulator in space, but still.

>>379551534
This methods implies i have something speedier.
Imagine a never ending battle because your ships cant catch up with the enemy. Sounds like fun doesn't it? I ran into this problem more than once.

>>379551880
That's partly why carriers were added. Now you have things that can counter the harassment Wolves can pack on you. You can also load up carriers with bomber squadrons that fling a ton of slow unarmed bombs that can utterly destroy massive ships. Be warned that point defense can shoot them down.

Thanks, i'm aware of that, but it would just feel like the game forced me to choose a play style by adding carries to my fleet just so it can be played without a stroke. I have a bad notion that the game will never go back to the beginning where it was fun to play.(at least for me)

Me to. But i didn't like the camping and i only leveled three fleets to 10 in skirmish. The trick is never pick a fair fight. Also use the orders often and try to ram as often as possible.

My favorite space games that I have been playing on rotation:
1. Freespace 2 with Freespace Open installed. This is fun arcadey space sim action, unlike most modern space sims which focus more on Newtonian physics and complicated unnecessary features.
2. Starpoint Gemini 2 - picked this up last month when it was free along with the Origins DLC. Pretty fun.
3. Starpoint Gemini Warlords - very fun and am looking forward to improvements
4. Everspace - a fun roguelike in space
5. Rodina - fun little space game, from an ex-Bethesda developer that was on the Oblivion team
6. Avorion - little fun game where you build your ship and explore
7. Drox Operative - Diablo, but with spaceships, and inside a 4x game played by the AI
8. No Man's Sky - I actually boot this up from time to time, it's still fun.

Thinking of purchasing Empyrion Galactic Survival, anyone play that game? How is it? Worth playing?

>>379553158
Do you have it on PC? Do you get flickering lighting while ingame? It's literally what's stopping me from playing it and don't know how to fix it.

>>379553728
never had that issue

>>379553819
Damn it. Seems like it won't be patched anytime soon either.

>>379553175
Drox Operative and Rodina are games i did not heard of. And i played fucking Aurora4x.

Empyrion is kind a nice because its straight forward with its building but also it feels a little cheap. If you want more of a simple and rewarding progression and not much building take Empyrion. But if you want more building and grinding and an unstable multiplayer take Space Engineers.

EVERSPACE
House of the Dying Sun

What game lets me board a ship, fly it somewhere, get off and do shit like getting resources, and possibly sneak into another ship and take some poor folks out with good combat? Though I have to maintain my ship, and maybe do regular ship on ship fights. Something along those lines or similar.

Or does that not exist?

>>379559931
Scam Citizen promises as much, if it ever gets finished

>>379551802
Remember, FSO itself doesn't really make any noticeable changes, you need to combine it with other mods for it to be noticeable (they just wouldn't work otherwise)

>>379560320
Maybe that's the reason, maybe I didn't install much more than that. I could have sworn there was an installer which had additional graphical enhancements.

>>379560576
I mean, it's entirely possible you did get that one and just fucked something up, I'm just spitballing here.

Whenever you do try again, if you weren't aware of it you should use www fsoinstaller com

It's ridiculously easy to setup. Have gog copy of fs2, run the installer, get however much or little you want, run the launcher with the mod/s you want (MediaVPs being the graphics update), and you're good.

I dropped that game hard after I stopped exploiting it. What a disappointed "game'.

For some reason I just have this huge wanting to command a big ass heavy cruiser in space, get into fantastic space battles. Dock into a space port, get into my own fighter ship and fly down onto a planet and explore.

But I want a finished game not some early access hell game that fills steam.
