So I bought Starfarer today....
« on: October 01, 2012, 06:01:09 PM »

And It's freakin amazing!, turns out it ran just fine on my old macbook (average 60 FPS even in large battles),
the combat feels familiar to freespace2, one of my most favorite games of all time, the graphics are awesome, and the gameplay is even better. but the best part is that it's still a alpha!, and if this is a alpha then I might fry my brain trying to fathom the final version :D, just wanted to say that this is an amazing game, keep up the good work ;D.

If you like that kind of game think about helping to fund Nexus 2 (link in my signature) :)

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
