So, apparently no one has heard of this game...

Interplanetary is what it's called, and it makes for a fantastic way to get your sci fi fix and your strategic fix in one easy package.

Here's the site

I only bring it up because its $5 on Steam for the week, and its really fun but has no ai, so you need to join multiplayer games. Which wouldn't be an issue if there were more than 10 or so people online at a time.

So I figured I'd give lip service here so I can hopefully enjoy the game with anyone who also wants to play it.

Enter Elysium did a Video on it. I like the look of it and am tempted to get it but my accessibility to steam is preventing me.

I never played it, but I saw EnterElysium's video about it (AKA review). I think it's safe to buy it now... Same as KSP

I don't know if you absolutely need steam to get it.

The only bad thing about it is the lack of other people to play against

Does it have realistic orbital mechanics?

Looks like a cool concept, but feels very simple. The combat system seems like Scorched Earth (or Worms) more or less, but with extra gravity influences to think about.

Can't really tell too much about it from the trailer, and it feels very disappointing that there doesn't seem to be any fleet options. Even if not for having space battles, at least for staging an invasion. Though it'd be pretty sucky to be in a space ship when one of those lasers goes off.

Not really sure about the laser either. It seems hard to imagine such a thing working. Definitely not BEFORE space travel has become easy enough for war to be practical.

Still, at that price I might give it a go. We could set up a little gaming club just for Kerbs if enough are interested.

Does it have realistic orbital mechanics?

No, not with the planets. The planets are all on rails and go in circles around the star. And actually, nearly half orbit retrograde.

The projectiles do follow proper physical laws, though, at least in terms of orbital mechanics

That's what I hoped to hear

buy it now but wait till later to play. it is plagued by connection issues and if you find a game that starts it will probably only be you and the host and there is a 50/50 chance of the game dropping before it finishes. other than the connection issues (will be fixed soon) chat (will be added soon) and singleplayer (will be added eventually) the game is very good and worth buying especially for half price just remember it is early alpha and is not a polished game.
