What I really want is a RTS space battle sim. I played a demo years ago, but havent found anything since. Homeworld has been a while. Never even played Homeworld 2. Outside of that I have not seen a space-based RTS. |

Check out EVE online, not a sim but fun.
Currently playing StarTrek online and enjoying the hell out of it. |

I know an FPS came out just recently that is centered in space...so you can move around in 3 dimensions, and no way is "up"
Shattered Horizons is the name! Just remembered it...

I am contemplating getting Bad Company and I don't have a lot of time for more than one FPS . . . don't really have time for more than one game at a time . . .

See if you can dig up an old copy of Xwing vs Tie fighter or Xwing Alliance. That is if it will even play on today's computers.

The game is way to complicate for a pure RTS. I have a hard enough time gathering resources, building troops and waging war in something like Star Craft or Age of Empire but now you throw in a dozen or so planets times a few stars and things turn into a cluster fuck pretty quick. . I'm in the middle of a match right now where I just had my entire armada wipe out and I'm being attacked in 2 fronts at the same time. To make it even worse I just had an ally declare war on me so he's now helping the guy who's been trying to seige one of my border worlds. Did i mention I need to rebuild my fleet and I'm all out of metal and have practicaly no metal income what so ever? I surrendered after seeing 3 massive fleets with 3 different colors heading for my home world.I'm better at games like Space Empires V where combat is real time but everything else is turn based. |

I've been waiting for a good space combat sim since the days of Colony Wars, Independence War, and Freespace 1 & 2.
Last one of those is from 1999

I'm can't believe that Lucasarts still hasn't made a new X-Wing/Tie Fighter game. (or Republic Commando)

Darkstar One
it's older so it's like $10 at newegg but is really fun, and not so old that it looks bad. i just finished it similar to Privateer and Freelancer in that you can upgrade your ship and buy/sell cargo as well as take on missions at each base and you can fly around a lot on non-plot stuff plot is pretty decent too and can use a joystick which is a huge plus |

Quoted: Anybody have a good space flight, fighter game? Not interested in flying the shuttle, nor in flying any airplanes. I want to have a good star fighter simulation, perhaps with merchanting and pirating involved. Who has something? X3 X3 Terran Conflict (adds marines/boarding parties, more guns) The 'X' series is 'Super Privateer'.... Same concept - a 'sandbox' game where you have a storyline to follow but can do whatever you want as you go through it.... However, unlike Privateer you're not limited to little ships, or a list of only 14-or-so weapons... You can fly anything from a little F-16 sized fighter (the game calls them M-5s) to a gigantic starship... Build your own space stations, etc... Weapons range from Star-wars style lasers, to Gatling guns (yes, you have to carry ammo for them, unlike all the other weapons that are energy based), to beam weapons (pulsed-beam emitter... Think a laser-minigun).... And of course, all different varieties of missiles... Also, unlike Privateer, there are aliens... Aliens loosely based on the Star Trek races (Think 'Ferrengi, Romulans, and Klingons' - but different names and different-enough everything else to make them recognizable-but-unique....) |

I might check X3 out. Gamestop has it for $10. For some odd reason Steam is trying to sell it for $19.99

But not until . . . at least Friday next week. |

I picked up X3:Terran Conflict. What's the fastest way to build up a space armada so I can declare war on the ATF and wipe them from the Galaxy? |
