SPAAAAAACE

Reminder that it’s ugly on purpose, because beauty is fascist and the concept of objective beauty is the opposite of communistic.

There hasn't been a good space game in years. Stellaris came close to it and even that failed because >lol paradox. It's still a good game to sink many hours in, but you'll soon realize its many flaws. And it has mods, i guess, although if you pirate it you have to get them from a .ru website so good luck with that.
I tried to get into distant wolrd but as soon as you get past the initial complexity you find out that too is flawed with MANY kinds of bullshit. The AI is either retarded or prints out ships out of nowhere, UI can be a nightmare and overall the games simply fail to entertain once you get some sort of routine going.

Endless space is total garbage, i haven't been disappointed in a game in such a long time. I'd unironically kill the developers just for the choices they made, from artstyle to gameplay. Someone mentioned sword of the stars 2 and if you're reading save yourself the time, it's a buggy clunky mess that is not worth the time it takes to download it.

It's a dead genre.

No. Space is boring.

the movie had its flaws but youd have to be a huge fucking shitter to think it was actually bad
you are objectively wrong if you believe otherwise

Children of Dead Earth is a super realistic orbital jousting simulator
the only thing it has in common with KSP is that it uses orbital mechanics in its core gameplay loop
its so autistic you can adjust the specific shape of the exhaust nozzle of a craft and design nuclear payloads from the ground up

Star Ruler 2 devs got what they deserved
instead of improving on the formula and ironing out the retardation from Star Ruler, they pulled a SupCom 2: Space Edition and what they had in the end was an across the board inferior SoASE

nigga is "unpack files in 2 different folders" and youre done
its more fiddly with online play but you can actually play it online over steamworks with mods and all that jazz

Mate the games are not that similar.

I meant to say SotS but thought of SoASE for some reason

LOGH is kinds the first. Battles last long, there's a lot of moving and dodging. It takes hours for fleets to move.
