CHOO CHOO MOTHERJOSHERS!

I have had my eye on this for a while. Is it worth picking up? It seems to be a bit like Space Pirates and Zombies, which I enjoyed though never finished.

It's better than SPAZ :V

It's worth buying.

Next time I have 15 USD to blow on an impulse buy, this will be at the top of my list.

ALL THE HYPE!!!

New character > Name Generator : "Future Butler"

Well, I know what this guy is going to do with his life.

This. SPAZ is a nice top down shooter. Starsector is more space combat simulator and is the better for it.

If Limit Theory comes even close to Starsector, it'll be awesome

Yeah, it seems really intense. I watched some videos and have been keeping an eye on development, but I don't have the money to pull the trigger.

My main complaint with SPAZ was that it was very difficult to pull off any sort of tactical manoeuvring (other than "RUN" or "ATTACK") because you only had fine control over one unit at a time. That and the repetitive nature of gameplay after 12 or so hours ("oh man, another star system where both factions hate me.") I probably shouldn't have started with the LUDICROUS sized galaxy to start with... Starsector, from what I can tell, gives you a lot more control over units you aren't piloting and has the player make more interesting decisions than what kind of weapon to put on your ship.

Yeah, too big a galaxy and it gets old fast. If too small, instead, it becomes hard to fetch new technology and you tend to lag behind the tech curve.
My personal preference was to set the galaxy at 1/3rd of the suggested size. It struck a nice balance.

I've been playing a modded game as the Knights Templar recently. They're hard to get started,, but their ships are awesome to use.

Colony Managment : http://fractalsoftworks.com/2017/12/21/ ... anagement/

Thanks for the reminder to check on Starsector Groufac! I'm excited to see the consequences of using Alpha AI cores as colony admins. That will be... entertaining.
