Space Games

[RocketTurtle]

So, space games, I've seen a lot recently, but I'm quite confused on which ones to get. What I want is one that isn't overly complicated and doesn't have a massive learning curve, I want something relatively easy. Also, I don't really care about things like trading, selling, buying etc. I really just want a more or less space combat game, I mean if it includes what I am gonna list in a second, and trading or whatever, that's fine, but it's not a requirement to me. A big thing I want is GOOD DESTRUCTION. I mean if I cut a ship in half, it should break it half, not like, somehow stay connected by some invisible force, also if I blow part of a ship up, there shouldn't be random parts floating, but still attached to the ship... a good example for both these is Starmade, and I'm not saying anything bad about Starmade, just I dislike the destruction system. I want to be able to have dramatic moment where my ship is split in half by a laser, I need to get into my escape fighter in the hangar, which is in the other half, so I'm running through my ship and I jet pack over through the lasers and explosions to the other half, get into the fighter, and escape like a boss... lol. But seriously, tell me that WOULDN'T be awesome.

Also, multiplayer is a HUGE plus.

"Space Engineers" might have what your looking for? It just released as early access on steam. I haven't tried it myself though...yet.

Also "X Rebirth" is coming out soon. Its effectively a singleplayer version of EVE Online. Not sure on the destruction front though, but it looks overall very impressive.

Yeah, I bought Space Engineers, but, I also should've mentioned... MULTIPLAYER. I'll edit the OP. Also, SE is very early, and obviously not finished.

All of these are pretty cool I think.

You aren't being rude. I am. I saw a mini wall of text and just read this part of the post

so uh... yeh... sorry 'bout that XD

[RocketTurtle]

Lol, that's okay.

Yes, that would be awesome!

I think Pulsar:Lost Colony http://pulsarthegame.com/ will have some of the dramatic moments you are after.

I've been hanging on edge since these brothers started, having been a fan of FTL.

I pitched in on the Rimworld Kickstarter after seeing Scott Manley play it the other evening. I enjoy Dwarf Fortress but generally find it a little too obtuse to enjoy every day, plus the militia system is a little annoying. This looks like a fun space/Firefly/more accessible attempt at the same kind of Colony Building genre.

Plus it has psychotic space squirrels...whats not to love.

You can wait for Star Quest 2. Check the video, it maybe fulfill your requirements.
