I was mining in E:D for some time in the dark using nightvision. Then it got all bright and I had to turn it off because of the local sunrise which looked fantastic, the light streaming through the asteroids.

Lord Stimperor posted:In terms of good Space games, I'd like to throw a couple of less obvious ones in the ring: The superior 3DO version is now open source and has been ported to pretty much every modern OS. They had to change the name to The Ur-Quan Masters; the original devs own the entirety of the game itself but don't have the rights to the Star Control title. It's one of the best space games of all time and now there's zero excuse for having never played it. Runs natively on pretty much everything and is old enough that the system requirements are almost nothing. http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Escape Velocity: Nova is the best space game not yet mentioned, I think. Like StarCon 2, it's really a story-based RPG which is padded out with randomized, top-down, arcade-ish combat encounters. The flavor is way closer to the Han Solo lone space cowboy ideal though. A much older game, from my formative gaming years of C=64 gaming, is Space Rogue, which is not a roguelike, but which was published by Origin and can, according to wikipedia, "be considered as the spiritual predecessor to Origin's Wing Commander series". I look back on it with incredible fondness, but I think it would hold up very poorly today as a gameplay experience.

mdxi posted:Escape Velocity: Nova is the best space game not yet mentioned, I think. But it seems you can just download the game for free? Sorry but a game can't be good if it doesn't costs 50 bucks AND lets you spend thousands on ships AND has an extra subscription. Also, maybe I'm too old but one of the best space games I've played (and haven't seen mentioned iirc) was Freespace 2, shitload of branching missions, great amount of ships and weapons, a menacing alien race and good overall story. It's also still supported and modded by the community afaik. Woolwich Bagnet posted:incredible, how does it perform so much better than npcs in the game? they need to study this tech Stop spreading fud, that cardboard cutout can't prepare you a cocktail by dinamically navigating the bar and getting ingredients with realistic hand animations mocapped by real bartenders. All while mantaining eye contact with you and telling other clients they have to wait their turn. And just imagine™ what happens when Quanta is in and every NPC will be indistinguishable from real players or their cardboard cutouts.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Insinuating that they are paid for being power tripping mods. Well, prolly not, but disgruntled citizens know that during the weekend Spectrum frequently turns into a free-for-all arena, with outrageous threads often staying up until Monday and turning into hilarious flame wars cause the mods are nowhere to be seen.

A bit late to this, so I can't believe that I'm the first person to tag himself as the dude in the white shirt with blue sleeves that appears to be wearing slippers shaped like... blue ducks? I know it looks like those are plush animals positioned in front of the guy's feet. But look more closely, and note that the one on the right wraps around his ankle. Those are blue duck shoes, my friend.

Every Star Citizen gathering seems to be a perfect mix of middle aged neckbeard weirdos who crawled out of some parental basement, and tedious upper-middle-class game dads. Then there’s like the two or three women who awkwardly have to sit there and deal with a metric ton of cringe.
