Hello fellow starfarers,
I thought I'd share my little story of acquiring StarFarer. It all started with my search for a space-faring game. I was trying all sorts of games, and I was just not having any success. I started looking at indie games, and I came accross starfarer. I borrowed it from a peer, and from the moment I installed it, I played straight through the weekend until I could destroy any fleet that had the misfortune of flying accross my screen. I think I only slept a couple hours from Saturday morning to Monday morning. Let me tell you, that Monday was completely wasted at work. The fun factor was off the charts! I wanted it immediately! One catch - it wasn't on Steam. For good or for bad, Steam is VERY convenient for keeping track of games I've already bought, so I decided to wait. I only lasted a couple months, until I finally caved, and bought the game yesterday. Best $10 I've spent in a very very long time. I tried my hand with the Uomoz mod, and pretty much got chewed up and spat back out, then trampled and thrown up on, but hey - it's not fun without a challenge! I may try modding on this platform too, seems like there's a lot of potential for it.
That's it! Just wanted to share how borrowing from peers isn't always a bad thing, (well it is for those triple A titles that completely drop the ball *cough* sim city *cough*).
