Developer Appreciation Post
« on: April 03, 2022, 08:54:07 AM »

I imagine that these threads already exist, but I feel a need to make a new one anyway.

Just wanted to say how much I love this game. After only a week's worth of time, I have gotten everything I love out of a spacefarer's game.

I have played FTL, Elite: Dangerous, and numerous other titles, but Starsector has hit every checkbox that I can think of.

Combat rewards strategic thinking and timing and punishes over-extending and recklessness.
The exploration is deep and very rewarding.
The writing is phenomenal and makes the player character out to be the badass you want them to be.
The art style and imagery are fantastic.
The ship customization is balanced and versatile.
The political world feels big, but not so big that the player is insignificant (like in E:D).
And there's so much more that I can't think of at the moment.

I want to thank the devs and the modding community for this fantastic game.

The game is unfathomably good and beautiful and I can hardly imagine how much work it took on the part of so many different people to get it to where it currently is. The depth of passion, vision and skill on display are truly inspiring. Starsector is one of the Magnum Opi of indie gameing and I'm so glad I'm around to play it when it's a thing.
