I know eve online is free but i'm talking purely about how good the game is. If each game were the same price, Which should i play/buy first?

I never heard of this game until just now. Where can I find a copy, and how do I play?

Looking for a vr space sim that fits what im looking for. A ton of ground and space content with mouse and keyboard support in VR.

Elite dangerous is good but odyssey doesn't support vr sadly

No mans sky is also good but you can only use vr controllers and for a game where i grind a lot like that id rather use mouse and keyboard.

Any game like those two that have full vr support with a mouse and keyboard optional input?

I am looking for a 2D game that was centered in collecting boxes in space and expand and build your own flying "room" in a maze like structure. The game was either io or an online web game.

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations guys.

I know of x4. I play Elite and mess around in Star Citizen sometimes. I just want a single player game with single player progression balancing that is all about you, the singular pilot carving your mark in a galaxy. Of whatever size, doesn't have to be Elite levels of big. X4 is too much for me with all the management and myriad of small systems you have to figure out. The thing about Elite is building a ship up and taking it out to fight or mine or explore is excellent. But obviously it's balanced for an mmo environment. Every time I think a game looks like it might be up my alley they mention "fleet management" and "4x" gameplay or strategy. Of course Freelancer is great and I have played through it, Underspace is fun too. The ships in those games are just... fuck ugly to me. Absolutely support the Underspace dev and have no regrets getting it in EA. I guess maybe there just isn't a market for a single player space sim with mining, fighting, trading, smuggling. And big emphasis on a bunch of different ships you can buy and upgrade to your hearts content. All the new games add in some kind of 4x twist or are multiplayer. Anywho, random annoying post over, I'm sure something will come out that scratches that itch. (Note, I have ever spent literal days looking through available space sim games, there is a good chance I've seen every possible candidate, lol)

Hi, im looking for a game to play:

• Spaceship-oriented, i dont care about on-foot experience
• First- or third-person view
• Deep spaceship customisation
• MMO or MMO-like multiplayer

Games i liked and/or played before:

• Star Citizen (buggy mess)
• Elite Dangerous (multiplayer component is meaningless)
• EvE Online (ticks every box but its too hardcore and combat is boring)
• Starbase (dead)
• Space Engineers
• Cosmoteer
• DarkOrbit (pay2win)
• Star Conflict (pay2win)
• Dreadnought
• Fractured Space
• No Mans Sky
• Everspace 2
• X4 Foundations
• Galaxy on Fire 2
• Starsector
• Tachyon: The Fringe

Hello everybody! I hope i'm making the post in the right place.

As of now, i'm seeking a space survival game, preferably in first person. It should play like Space Engineers and No Mans Sky combined, where i can build bases and have a ship with which i can travel to other Star Systems. My desire for that though, is the capability of creating my own space station, colonizing other planets and star system, with the possibility to even create an economy! Perhaps because some ressources are only availlable from specific planets or asteroid fields, automating the mining and shipping from A to B to then either sell them off or use them to expand and upgrade existing systems.

So far, i had no luck. Space Engineers does get monotone and there is only one star system, meanwhile No Mans Sky does scratch that discovery itch, but since i cannot "rule" my own systems there, it is a bit of a bummer.

I was debating with Empyrion, but idk if that will also give me the satisfaction i'm seeking.

If anyone could help me here, that would be very lovely!

I was curious to hear about some games you've played where a diegetic UI helped elevate the experience into something really unique and immersive. Some of my own examples would be:

• Scavenger SV-4
• Objects in Space
• Elite Dangerous
• PULSAR: Lost Colony

So I recently got a pc, and I remember a game I used to watch all the time, so now I want to download it but I cannot remember the name, although I do remember what it looks like and some of the gameplay.

it was a very colorful game where you would collect resource to build a spaceship out of 2d parts(this looked very similar to FTL, only without the crew and interior components) it had various factions of ai ships that you would run into, many of which were community submitted. The player was also in charge of their own faction, with the aim of spreading it by deploying drones and such. When I searched it up (i revisited it every so often after forgetting the name) it was often confused by the search algorithm with FTL. I tried doing this again but cannot find it. if the game sounds familiar to anyone please help.

SOLVED: the game was Reassembly, thank you all so much for helping me!

I was thinking about starting Star Citizen but that seems to expensive and time consuming,any body got recommendations on a game where I can just zoom around in a spaceship with my HOTAS ? Update: I'm going to try the everspace 2 and Blackstar ranger demos and maybe Elite Dangerous. Thanks for all your help

I just want to railgun snipe enemy ships from 3+km away. First person and/or strategy, as long as it’s spaceships.

I have Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, and X4. Between those, only X4 really fits the criteria (mass driver & boson lance). I’m just curious if there’s any more.

Sometime ago I released my first game, a space themed 2D top-down RTS game with complicated mechanics, but a lot of automated systems. You interact with the living simulation and have endless ways to beat your opponents while also not be overwhelmed with micromanaging like in a typical RTS!

Please tell me what you think!

Peace!

Hello everyone.

As a player i never delved into space games, I don't know why, maybe listening to the name Eve online and checking the game out and feeling overwhelmed by the huge scale of the game was partially to blame but that's an issue that i have to surpass on my own.

I was wondering if anyone would have a couple of suggestions of any good space games worth checking out, I'm a big fan of single player games like RPG's or even strategy games like CK3 where i got over 600 hours, I would love to be part of a space game where exploration is important but where i could also trade to generate some income, gather resources, craft etc... as i mentioned I will consider anything from RPG's to started games.

All I wanted or wished for was a game, it doesn't have to be a mmo, that like EVE Online would allow me to be a trade or smuggler, a pirate, maybe do some missions where i help others... I also love games with economies where i can sell and buy resources, supplies, ship parts or even entire ships and why not drugs or other shady products :) and of course go out in space and explore, mine and so on but such game doesn't seem to exist.

I will gladly look in int the suggestions posted here except for Star Citizen as i have no interest in that game.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

I remember when I was a kid t And they used to put the occasional PC game in cereal boxes we got this game where you could build a space ship and the currency was credits. I also think there was a ship building mechanic where you would build your own ship and I'm pretty sure there was a full story line... I know it's not much to go on but any ideas would be helpful. No it's not the chex mix game.. it has a less cartoonist and more realistic art style. Faintly gives old school red faction looking art style vibes

anyone have any recommendations for something that would scratch that itch?

Are there any other games like X4 or Distant Worlds where the economy is fully simulated? I learned star sector's economy is faked so I'm hoping there's some other games to check out.

(Ideally I'd like a game where I can make a trade empire)

Hi all,

I LOVE Starsector, and Starcom: Unknown Space looks similar. I trust you guys more than random reviews out there. Anyone tried it? It's on steam sale right now. Thanks!
