What are some games that involve controlling a space ship directly?

No mens skie, realy godgame

I LOOOOK ABOVE, THE STARS ARE BRIGHT
BUT IM BLINDED BY YOUR LIGHT

Freelancer

>arcadey game with focus on style over substance
No thanks

What if I don't want to fly around in a tiny little fighter but would much rather fly around in a big comfy battleship with hundreds of crew?

HEAVEN SEEMS SO FAAAR AWAY,
COME BACK TO ME SOMEDAY!

>mostly positive reviews
That's a red flag for me
Is it actually good?

Spore

Mass Effect 3

>this thread is somewhere between a space game thread and a LotGH thread
I like it

>people enjoying videogames?!
>no, no, something isn't right here

Cred Forums

She's just so beautiful, how can any other ship compete?

You know what I mean
Anything less than "very positive" instantly makes me wary, steam's review system is not very good
Have you played the game? Sell it to me

No you fucking don't, Cred Forumsutists.

;_;

Cred Forums hates this god tier anime because it isn't generic slice of life moeshit

"early access" is a bigger red flag senpai

...

That legitimately made me sad. Fuck you

What is this?
Is this a genre on anime? I don't watch it all all because I thought anime was supposed to be all cute and shit.

>genre on anime
I don't know what you mean by this, but the anime is Legend of the Galactic Heroes
It's anime for people who hate anime, I don't really like anime and it's the best thing I've seen in years
It's absolutely patrician tier

It's about cute girls doing cute things.

And by cute girls I mean giant battleships and by cute things I mean war atrocities.

It's amazing, watch it
I wish I could go back and rewatch it again for the first time

...

X series

I lost 2 months of my life to X3:albion prelude with the xtended mod.
Rebel galaxy is pretty nice for something more lighthearted.

Combat is feels really sluggish.

Delete this

Hyperion is too pure.

Outer wilds

>I thought anime was supposed to be all cute and shit.
The horrors of war are extremely cute.

Tempted to pick it up, but early access.

Alliance fags please go

Its space opera

Btw the 2008 game is on Nyaa if anyone wants to play it, it used GFWL though.

>I thought anime was supposed to be all cute and shit.
Uh... how do you not know that anime can be incredibly fucked up, dark, brutal, sad? I mean on the intenrnet, Cred Forums in general, how do you not know what anime is?

Genre-wise, Legends of Galactic Heroeas are a space opera, pretty pure one. Some quite unironically call it "Game of Thrones in space", though I don't think that is very accurate.

>all anime is the trash that Cred Forums likes
I hate this meme

>I thought anime was supposed to be all cute and shit

>Not a single mention of Freespace 2 or FS2:Open

I'm disappointed. It isn't open world, but it's great, and tons of high quality mods.

Learning curve is there though, most buttons on keyboard used, along with alt and ctrl.

You also get voice commands with FS2:Open. Great to be able to yell at wingmen to cover my ass or disarm my target.

...

Independence War
Starfleet Command 1-3

THIS THIS THIS, torrent Freespace 2 and then get the FS2:Open installer.

Tons of graphical improvements, long story mods, and plenty of difficulty. Actively reroute power in your fighter to weapons, engines or shields, equalize shields or divert power to different shield quadrants if you have somebody on your ass.

There is nothing else like FS2.

Anyone here /Tachyon: The Fringe/?

Why are there so many "that one guy who showed up in one episode" characters?

>excuse me guiz while I go play a mature game for mature players
>sits at computer staring at nothing happen in EVE for 20 hours
>somebody withdraws what amounts to pennies from their clans storage
>OMFG ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shut the fuck up you autist

Yeah nigga that game was the shit

>waaaaah if I don't have something happening all the time I get distracted XD
>I can't handle anything complicated in my games because it makes my head hurt :(
See, I can do it too

>I thought anime was supposed to be all cute and shit.

Cred Forums can be so dumb.

Whatever this is, I need it

Watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes, I can guarantee it won't disappoint

Is the LoGH coming next year new or a retelling?

There was no 3D CGI in LotGH

How do people think Sins plays remotely good? I can't enjoy it after enjoying the superior Sword of the Stars.

I think it's new

It just makes for pretty real time battles. I only ever play it for two or three hours each year before uninstalling again until the itch hits me again.

Then it's the game, which is untranslated and uses Games for Windows Live

you can do what too, this thread is about space games, I posted one and you had a problem with it

fuck off

>don't criticize my game
If you can't handle me complaining about it then why are you even on this site?

>uses Games for Windows Live

WHY

>make post relevant to topic
>faggot has a problem with it
>call him out on it
>dude wtf I can post whatever I want
great discussion, really contributing to the thread, 10/10 post fampai

Because God doesn't want us to have nice things

>make post relevant to the thread
>someone says that doesn't interest him
>pull a bunch of bullshit strawman arguments out of nowhere
>complain about people who don't like the look of the game you posted
I don't understand

REINHARDO SAMA

this

Game still works though, just don't expect to play it online.

Is Freelancer a good game?

KIRU CHEIS

...

Yes

Was Yang a psychic? I all of his keikakus relied on the space germans doing exactly what Yang needed them to do.

Infinite Space is the best one I've played.

reminder.

There's one cute scene that occurs right after a rape scene.

This thread is fantastic, and I'm only like 5 posts in.

>EVE Online
Even play?

Is there a route where Kircheis and/or Yang survive?

>he didn't pay attention to the show

Kircheis was absolutely blowing him the fuck out on occasions.

No, Yang's opponents just suffered from heavy retardation and/or reading too much into his tactics. Same thing happens whenever Reinhard or Kircheis are fighting the FPA, except it's intensified a hundred times.

No it only covers the movies and the first season.

So it ends right where he canonically dies.

Did EVERYTHING wrong fuck you Oberstein

A man who did absolutely nothing wrong.

...

Name 1(one) thing Oberstein did wrong.

Where can you even get it now? I dont think its on steam

There was that one game the user was making on Greenlight that was posted last time we had this thread

now that was a solid space game

Westerland
Boom

...

>Just finished the third season
>Wanted to postpone the fourth season for a while
>Come to Cred Forums
>See this

It still hurts damn it.

which one got you the hardest anons?

...

LotGH has too much damn reading
English dub where?

Kircheis then Bucock

>dub
HAHAHAH EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS FAGGOT AND LAUGH

Final episode.

Had to walk out of the room three times.

Why did best girl had to die so early?

Yang, obviously. The apologizing is the hardest moment.

I don't know, man

Yep

Nowadays "early access" is code for "fucking disappointment"

Don't open this image if you haven't finished the show yet

Delete this image at once.

I'm just going to use my LotGH reaction images all over this thread

Can't wait until the remake fucks everything up. The older anime, while predictable, still handled everything perfectly. Including the ending with Julian looking at old photos of Yang and co. being happy and having a party.

Fucking eve online why has nobody said that

...

youtube.com/watch?v=AH_UalbaFmQ

>finished the show
I'd just finished watching a bit before this thread. Ended on episode 98, just after Reuental's death

Nothing will ever soothe this feel

elite dangerous, just finally bought an imperial clipper. Used a Vulture for hundreds of hours. Best ship control I've played

;_______________;

What is going to happen in these next 11 episodes? Even if I don't get a happy ending will the fucking Terraists and Rubinski die?

Not telling you a damn thing, watch it and find out

youtube.com/watch?v=PKMjzhghMTc

pure weeb kino, it's kind of sad that space video games don't have a proper equivalent to this

I could see a space Ace Combat or an ambitious RTS pulling something similar off, but so far, no dice

Its the same as the Arslan reboot, its a new adaptation of the novels and ignores the older anime.

>Ctrl-F
>"house"
>phrase not found
I'm ashamed of Cred Forums

House of the Dying Sun

Battlefleet Gothic:Armada

Star Citizen

Horse penis

Children of a Dead Earth

>literally nowhere to go to get my fix after watching the show
I just want something remotely like it and I can't find anything

Actually one of the deciscions in the Empire campaign is to nuke westfalen or not. on second or more playthroughs if you save westfalen Kircheis lives and you can use him in other missions like Vermillion Starzone

LoGH wasn't that realistic. Besides, that game doesn't even have semi-circles. Fucking trash.

...

Yang is a true bro

but we are out of Cred Forums

Who is the best underrated admiral and why is it Bittenfeld?

are we? or are just YOU!!

>She's just so beautiful, how can any other ship compete?
How about this ship?

>Besides, that game doesn't even have semi-circles.
Because you don't need formations in space combat.

house of the dying sun

Eww look at all her soft squishy bits.

Shit ship/10

That Star Trek game for the Xbox 360

>knowing what horse penis looks like
Horse vagina is better

Fahrenheit is most underrated. Dies to Bittenfels bullshit and has a mini-iserlohn on his ship.

So is multiplayer for the 2008 game impossible now the GFWL is down? I would engage in some honorabu duels if it was still up

...

Why is LotGH the greatest anime there's ever been?

>implying

This game is disgustingly under appreciated.

The only flaw is how little content it has, everything else is damn top tier.

>tfw unarmed
>twice

Something for everyone
>great space battles
>humor
>soul crushing sadness
>pure perfect waifus who die too young
>intense homoerotic subtext

It would be nice if you guys wrote the name of the show. I've never watched anime other than death note years ago, pokemon and high school of the dead slightly. But I love space games, and this seems like a gruesome gory space show filled with action and horrible things of war

Legacy? Is it as buggy as the PC port? Literally could not get past the Enterprise era because subsystem targeting was fucked on the PC version

It's been said multiple times.
Go watch Legend of Legendary Heroes instead, it seems more up your alley

Read the thread, Jesus Christ
...on second thought, don't do that, there are a lot of spoilers
It's Legend of the Galactic Heroes, go watch it now

Too bad Ace Combat is ded. Fuck bamco.

Battleship Yamato or. Something like that came to my mind when I saw the webms and pictures. And it's that show I want to watch.

Thank you user and other anons.

>what are these funny squiggles next to the moving pictures? words? abbreviations? if only I could input them into some sort of searching device to find the answer!

Very incomplete and kind of grindy. Would recommend pirating before you decide.

Yeah Yeah I know. Sorry.

Holy shit can no one read?

I said I am sorry.

That's a Kadeshi mothership, nigger

I like how in the game whichever fleet you put him in charge of becomes it's own little black lancers.

Black Lancers are so goddamn cool

to be fair in the Empire I don't think anyone living on the agricultural planets besides the aristocracy can read

>browsing v
>suddenly a thread about obscure space opera I have never seen anyone ever discuss before
>tfw they're talking about best fucking show ever
This is the greatest thing, I thought I was alone.

Even if you only make him a tiny little sub-commander of a single wing they become black lancers.

Nah man LotGH is so goddamn incredible

LoGH was never obscure to begin with. It's never discussed in Cred Forums though. There's no cute girls.

How come we never got to see anything about the Empire's fighter pilots?

...

Who /infinite space/ here?

...

It's occasionally discussed in Cred Forums
It's more of an /m/ thing though
That said, you guys are all buying the official translated books, right? Volume 3 comes out this november, and someone else got the rights to bring over the anime sometime, probably if the books sell well

we see like bits and pieces of them. I believe a vermillion there was a shot of them talking about how they learned the spartanians moves, then they made Konev's existence a joke.

>bought that on a whim
>enjoyed it
>all my vidya was stolen about 11 months ago
>think about re-buying it
>mfw the fucking price of it now

I've already got the books and preordered the third
I picked a good time to get into this show

I wasn't aware of the translated books

I always make a point to mention it in threads cause there's always one guy who didn't know
Call me a shill or whatever, but I really want these books to sell so I can read more

I'm going to continue to monitor this thread and use up all my LotGH images

Same here, I bought them as soon as I heard that they were finally being translated after over 30 years

I capped just about every time someone took a sip of something for just such an occasion
Truly, LOGH threads are the comfiest threads

>Halfway through the show
>Got to the Coronation
>Mention to friend
>Everything is spoiled
>Never Finish
Should I finish it?

reminder bittenfeld is the best boy and mio is the best girl

>found a copy at a local mom & pop game-store
>it was still over $90 new but it was worth it

yes but first make sure your friend knows how much of a fag he is

moe shit is an infestation prominently post 2000

you made this exact thread with this exact picture a fucking week ago
WHY

A) I didn't make it, I just participated in it
B) I like space games
C) I like Legend of the Galactic Heroes

I should do that when I watch anime. Usually I just sit back and enjoy it and just save what others post.

Wish I had saved for this post here. It fits much better.

>Cred Forums hates anime
no shit

overrated shit

Star Conflict. It's War Thunder in Space. Still has a small but active community. /vg/ used to have a general and a corp back in the day but it's dead now.

technically Eve Online because you can hotkey and macro your ships engines and burn in different directions. I think you can make it work on a gamepad or joystick too. As for actual practicality... well you'd be pvping against a guy doing like pic related.

fucking crazy micro some guys have

star point geminai 2 had some decent boarding, towing and selling ships to make bank but the story and voice acting is the worse ive ever heard

also their version of space lacks the proper lightbox of nebulas, its more accurate to the blackness of real space but that makes it real hard to see fucking anything when playing a video game

Elite:Dangerous has pretty detailed controls.

Mah nig-nog!

X3

What was the game where you could press all the buttons in the cockpit and had a really elaborate starting sequence?

Your image has crashed my browser tab twice.

you mean the one that's not really a game but a giant scam where ships are bought from $60-$800,000?

Not that one
You mean Rogue System

You're late, Cred Forums.

Where the are space games where you don't play a ship, but actually play the person piloting or commanding it? Being able to get up from the pilot's chair or captain's seat and walk around your ship, head for an escape pod or get in the captain's yacht. And actually have on-foot gameplay, like boarding enemy ships or defending your own, going on missions on a planet's surface or space station?

Where is my Star Trek simulator?

Fuck you man I didn't wanna cry tonight

>tfw there aren't even any good books that are similar

>I posted one and you had a problem with it
Don't like the heat, get out of bantz street.

You mean those guys who were in the manga but didn't get enough screen time?

Very few can do that. I don't remember if The Precursors can. There's a game from the same country or dev that did Precursors that let you do exactly what you wanted but it was shit.

The bait and switch they did will forever stay with me which is a shame because it looks alright. I heard it's barely a game though. Like Freelancer has 20x more content.

>Someone mentions a space game I've never played
>Look it up
>Early Access or otherwise half done

Honestly, I'm kinda sick of every game being perpetually unfinished.

>blackness of real space
>real hard to see fucking anything
Holographic grids should be a thing in that game then.

Put yourself in cryosleep then.
