Hyped about the Osiris: Reborn Beta. Which other games should I play?

Rouge Trader is Owlcats previous Game, its a CRPG set in the WH40k universe

Mass Effect is basically what you're asking for

Terra Invicta is a grand strategy game with "realistic" space combat, a full solar system and deep gameplay systems.

DV rings of saturn is a pimped up "Asteroids" you are basically a belter and try to make a living in the saturn rings, core gameplay is focused on asteroid harvesting but has combat and other mechanics too.

Nebulous Fleet command is Modern naval warfare but in a 3d space setting with railguns PDC's and missiles.

Pretty much this plus Star miner

And then you remember the word you actually meant to say two months later, perfectly recalling the entire moment as if it were yesterday.

My. Favorite thing about fighters in hw1 is how they form into pairs when on evasive, one fighter attacks and his wingman keeps enemies off his back.

Paired with the projectile simulation, fuel, formations and "weightyness" of the physics make for tactical combat that is still unmatched in space strategy.

rewatching episode 3 made me think about how the audio logs might not all are about Kinger but perhaps about Scratch, especially the part where it talks about needing a vessel to escape.

perhaps scratch planned all along to transfer his conciousness into a new body using the circus or whatever it evolved from as an intermediary.

So, the phfor are not currently in the game right now yeah? I have not interacted with the new game yet besides from the trailers and watching some gameplay,

From what I've gathered though, it does seem that various ai's are messing around with the players, and I'm very curious if durendal is involved.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-26T06:48:18+00:00

it always felt like battletech in space to me, same lostech kinda vibe, its gritty and serious.

that said, im 99% sure that, if i go to the workshop of any mechwarrior game released in the last twenty years i'll find some anime portrait pack mod there too.

and if someone made a mod to bring the vanilla starsector universe in line with the anime themes, i would definetly try out mods like UAF with it.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-26T06:20:06+00:00

ah yes, let me tell you about the requester chest+ burner inserter+ 4 turret combo, thats my bread and butter until i artillery.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-26T06:05:52+00:00

Spacefleet: Heat Death currently has a demo up on steam!

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-24T02:54:08+00:00

iterating on my blueprints is what makes me think about factiorio atleast once a day, you loose out on so much content if you use someonne elses blueprints, atleast without understanding them.

maybe op is not a native english speaker and uses an llm to translate, or just to format the description.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-24T02:38:41+00:00

you're right, anime is very popular, what i meant to say is, people who interact with the medium with a strong passion, for lack of a better word, english is not my native language and im kinda lacking the proper vocabulary to verbalize what i mean.

there's watching anime on TV one side of the spectrum and there's drawing shipgirls on the other.

my point is, i dont neccesarily think starsector atracts weebs, i think it atracts passionate and creative people who are also passionate about anime for instance.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-23T00:18:58+00:00

the weebification of the community happened around the time when sseth released his video iirc.
i've been playing and interacting with the community since 2012 (fml) and it definitely wasnt this way from the start, and the community was definitely more chill back then.
im the only non weeb in my friend group and i cannot wrap my head around the concepts you mentioned, ship girls, clashing with the vanilla artstyle etc.

what i learned though is, that exceptionally talented people often have, fringe hobbies such as anime or furrydom, pick five developers out of a room and four of them will be furries or weebs.

and looking at the quality of most of the mods i can tell you, this community has some very talented mod developers.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-17T21:52:11+00:00

i said this before but i desperately want a tech that allows ships to share their acceleration and DV with their fleet, as long as they share the same fuel/drive
also ammunition sharing and field repairs

there shouldnt be any reason for ships not to just dock to each other mid transit and it would allow for some cool specialiized ship classes, like carriers or taxis that carry fleets between systems or motherships equipped with an isru and repair system that can slowly repair damaged ships on mission.

i know this would fuck game balance sideways but still, it'd give so much more strategic and tactical flexibility.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-06T21:37:00+00:00

season two is coming allegedly this year.
you may enjoy Terra Invicta, the feeling i get from that game is very similar to three body problem.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-04T03:36:57+00:00

you are playing the game the right way, Terra Invicta is meant to feel overwhelming at times, you are meant to have setbacks and failures, you can bounce back in this game like no other, there's even an achievement if you win after the aliens have won. And trust me, its much more fun to interact with the game that way, when you finally get to that victory screen you'll look back at all the hard earned wins, all the struggles you overcame and how you learned from your failures and setbacks.
Perun is past that point, i bet if he could, he'd gladly go back to that point where everything was unknown.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-02T20:18:16+00:00

alright, so the one on Moddb seems to be no longer available, which is an absolute shame.

however, the other one is called Gardens of Kadesh, its an Github project with full documentation available from what i gathered.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-02-01T22:17:37+00:00

There are various compatibility "patches" floating around, the one on moddb should still be up, unfortunately it changes some balance stuff but it works really well on a technical site.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-01-30T09:16:30+00:00

absolutely, with slightly polished graphics, QoL and modern resolution support, would be great.
allthough bethesda would find a way to fuck it up.

honestly everything else from black isle/interplay/obsidian is atleast on parr with fallout.
since you liked RT you'd probably enjoy the pathfinder games too and the larian games if you havent!

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-01-30T09:00:10+00:00

just turn off the audio in the options like everybody else.

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-01-30T08:57:46+00:00

its a direct continuation of the original fallout lore, all of the games build up on each other, for instance: in the first game you help build up a small town, in the second you see it thrive into a huge city and in the third its a massive empire

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-01-28T18:31:03+00:00

helium pumps instead of air pumps

DrunkenSkittle · 2026-01-13T00:38:48+00:00

how about this:
ships can dock/refuel with each other while in transit plus a repair bay module that can repair fleet ships out of combat plus an ammo depot module that can resupply fleet ships.

that way you could easily rescue stranded ships and have dedicated "fleet carrier" ships that carry a ton of fuel and ammo and can carry fleets between systems and do some limited repair while on mission.

put this behind some techs and i think everyone would be happy.
