I am not a fan of the space combat, but barring that this is a fantastic game that I discovered very late on in my adulthood. The sense of adventure and exploration is unmatched IMHO.
- JohnFen 3y agoYeah, the combat doesn't do it for me either. But the rest of the game more than makes up for that.
- kadoban 3y agoInteresting, the combat is one of my favorite parts. I'm curious what you don't like about it, if you have reasons you can give.
- Noumenon72 3y agoI played the Sega Genesis game with duels and you actually used all the abilities of every ship in the various matchups. In this game, 90% of the ships are worse than your flagship, like so much worse it isn't even fun to experiment with them.
- ahefner 3y agoYeah, it's either crushing everyone with an invincible upgraded flagship, or mastering the delicate art of the Secret Spathi butt-torpedo strafing run and save-scumming whenever you accidentally lose your 1 Spathi ship. I loved the melee mode in the original Star Control for the combat, and I love Star Control 2 for the exploration and the story.
- kadoban 3y agoAh, interesting, yeah that's fair tbh, most of them are pretty terrible choices. I typically enjoy using all of the mushroom guys, the spathi, the one really advanced race that's not the ur quan, the ur quan and the pkunk? But even those, most of them yeah just aren't very good.
- rasz 3y agoCombat part of SC is what prevented me from playing, its extremely bad. If you want a point of reference try StarSector. Splattercatgaming: Starsector Is the King of Sci Fi Open Galaxy RPGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrkZxyayO8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrkZxyayO8
