Rather a Different kind of ship

Have had Starpoint Gemini>2< in my library for so long i don't even remember where i got it from but long story short it launched out of early access around the 26th so i finally decided to have a play.

Gota say its pretty damn good so far i used to love playing star trek legacy and dark star one , starpoint seems to be a marriage of the two either way thought i might start a thread here so i can put up anything half decent that happens , anybody else even heard of this game ?

If I'm not mistaken, my room-mate was playing that last week. Looked pretty cool, actually.

 

[Red Back Dude]

Yeah i have been having fun playing around with it today i will probably get more screenshots up later

Allso edited my post i forgot the number 2 dangit.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I thought I saw some game systems that might be interesting for HoO there as well.
But I didn't see it properly. Would you mind telling us some more?

 

[Red Back Dude]

Not at all , what would you like to know?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I thought I saw some things where you could sort-of order your ship/crew to do various things for you.

 

[Red Back Dude]

So far from what i have played there is the "fire at will" command/toggle where if there is a shot any of my turrets can take they will do it automatically for me instead of me having to aim and fire/tell them to fire manually. there could be more but i have not done any boardings yet i am only around 2 hours in.

edit: it occurred to me that although its not much use in this game during battles you can also order your ship to travel to a point on the map , that would save time in an age of sail game i guess.

Fire at will, boarding, autopilot... Reminds me of the X series.
Can it compete with the complexity of X3 Albion Prelude?

 

[Red Back Dude]

Never even heard of that game sorry.

 

[Red Back Dude]

well 15 hours and one slight mod in i cant say that there's anything else my crew can do , but i got some more half decent screenshots.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

USS Voyager? That DOES improve things!

 

[Red Back Dude]

Yep

The mod allso has the Defiant class , Galaxy class , akira class and sovereign class in it.

This was going to be alot longer a post but then i sedated the trekkie inside me again and shortened it down.

 

[Red Back Dude]

Up to 31 hours now and i have leveled up enough that i can now captain the biggest ships in the game , must say the only thing that anoys me with this game is the trade system it is very hard to 1-get enough of a cargo and 2-find where on earth to take it , theres no real trade interface like with PoTC which makes trade a dangerous low profit guessing game.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

USS ENTERPRISE!

What are those other three? The third one looks pretty cool; the other ones are.... odd.

 

[Red Back Dude]

Hah yeah i must admit i am not entirely a fan of their artstyle when it comes to ships the first is a cargo freighter , the second and third are carriers from a few of the games factions.

(me searching for this thread)


Actually back to playing this game and just finished the story campaign today which took about 15 hours , they've kept updating it since it release and its improved with quite a few small and large tweaks.

Allso half the cost of ravens cry
