Gimbal is a top down space shooter (currently in Steam Greenlight) with customizable weapon slots on ship hulls... wait...

However, in stark contrast to our beloved Starfarer, Gimbal is multiplayer only.

Here is the webpage, which has a free demo download: http://www.gimbalgame.com/

Also, for the next 50 hours after this post, you can pay what you want for it at https://indiegamestand.com/

Downloading the demo for myself right now, opinions of my own will come later.

I tried it it's look interesting but, it's like angry dots vs angry dots shooting mini dots.

Yeah, it is a bit too zoomed out and fast paced :/

[arcibalde]

Yup, that's why i like Starfarer so much. It hit that juicy spot where all feels perfect. Well maybe weapons should be a bit smaller

I wouldn't have the skills to do this any time soon, but I know there is a multiplayer mod for Skyrim... maybe a multiplayer mod for Starfarer would be possible?

EDIT: Also, I do really enjoy how the ships are pretty much made from scratch, even though there are less hulls/bases and weapons, it feels like there are more possibilities because you can change things like shape and engine positions, and then strap as many guns as you can afford instead of being limited by weapon mounts.

The MP mod for Skyrim is horrible though. (Unless they have updated it significantly)

It just makes other people into NPCs in your world that dosnt do anything...

I'm pretty sure it's gone beyond that, the mod I remember looking at actually had dedicated servers payed for by the mod creator. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I think it's definitely progressed to the point where it would make me think this would be possible...

Also, I ended up getting Gimbal, I really am a sucker for these kind of games...

That game sure looks to be fun. I wonder, it could have some potentially very good modding possibilities for me. Although i dunno if that would be too much for me. I'll pay a tenner probably, maybe even 15

I loved the effects and the carrier looks, hope we can have those types of animations on Star Farer and those dynamic backgrounds (1 non moving background and a 1 moving background), they would really add more in the "looks" section

This is really cool: the game saves custom ships as PNGs, we could start sending each other ship designs super easily if it becomes a thing on this forum.

no one can make a mp mod for starfarer since it requires you to change the core files which will directly give you a law suit as a present.
still i got to agree with you that mp would be nice ,but will never come since they thought it didnt fit the game they were thinking off.
