Big Damn Space Battles

Post by MGuy »

I bought Homeworld RM a long time ago and finally got around to playing it. It's probably the first game like it that I've played. That is, an RTS that focuses on space combat. I've no really even played a 4X game expressly in space. While I found Homeworld somewhat entertaining after playing through the campaigns for both the 1st and 2nd remade edition of the game I'm wondering if there's something better out there. I've been leaning toward getting Sins of a Solar Empire since that's the name that is at the top of my steam search and seems to be well liked but just in case I don't end up getting into it I'm seeking alternatives.

If you want a game modded right you have to mod it yourself.

There is nothing better. Too bad, but Homeworld is really quite good.
Oh, then you are an idiot. Because infected slut princess has never posted anything worth reading at any time.

Sins of a Solar Empire is fantastic. You might also enjoy the Galactic Civilizations trilogy or Egosoft's X series, depending on how your tastes run.

Link to X, since I can't get the BB code to work (above link is to the official forums):

Stellaris does this at the moment.
They are actually trying to change the gameplay away from massive doomstacks of fleets duking it out.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Homeworld: Cataclysm is also pretty baller, the truth tru Homeworld 2 for me. But if you want a game that is actually all space combat with actual neutonion motion, get Children of a Dead Earth on Steam. Do it nao.
