Fantastic just fantastic.
« on: May 07, 2015, 08:26:15 AM »

Been playing this game for like three years now. Since I downloaded it I have loved it. The amount of hours I've put in this game is....well silly.

Features, content, combat and other gameplay have come ALONG way. I had an OLD copy from like late 2012. and fired it up and laughed at the great progress that has happened since. It was like one star system three planets two stations. Fuel was useless, and there was no trade.  heh....

What I've noticed is the sounds. With the recent versions, the sounds of the individual cargo, the crisp click of mouse over. Combat sounds, bulkheads buckling sound upon disablement/destroyed. The Audio is really great and is much enjoyed.

The UI, it easy and informative. Fine jobs guys FINE JOB.


Modders! I've have played just about every mod made for SC. From the TC's to the smalls mods. Great jobs and I thank you for it!

I love this game too. It's hard to believe it's an alpha, it's so polished  :)

Agreed.  It's more polished than some "finished" games on Steam.

Ah, it's not too shabby ;)

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.

Agreed 100%.  Still the best cheap game I've bought in years, in terms of "just one more time" appeal :)

When I tell other people about this game I say it is the second best top-down space combat ever (the best being Star Control 2) ;D

My buddy(for what little time he played) said its the best game of this type on the market, only reason he dosn't enjoy it is because it isn't multiplayer, and he plays games to play with others.

so ofc i ask him "what if it had multiplayer?"

i was replied with= "then i would have no life".

makes you happy inside dosn't it? :)
Can't wait for the promised review by TB when the game is complete. =)

Starsector is the best game right now for spaceship genre right now (gameplay wise) no one would disagree. Homeworld is only better cuz it has a awesome story, and StarCitizen, E&D are good cuz its pretty.

once Alex makes a buck and rep off starsector, then start a dev team. Imagine star sector 2, with online world. With base building akin to kerbal(2d version = Space Agency), and multiplayer, run in a server format like freelancer where you can say, play on a server with ALL THE MODS, or vanilla.

(like what they did with torchlight :>)
