Thank god the Terran Ships don't look like complete ass anymore, I always liked them the most mechanically but hated the asthetic.
edit: needs moar combat footage, also I thought we already had a thread about this, at least there was one on shc...
edit 2: some overlap in these interviews but all of them have unique info too.

Do not know if want.
yeah I'm still kind of miffed at them for not simply copying the tactical controls from homeworld, I hate the fact that I can't build 3d formations since I know how effective they can be when used properly...Originally Posted by RazoR

Yeah what space games are good without full 3d interaction?
Unless it is Empire at war or Hegemony.
it get's worse, the guys behind this are the same that did HW:Cataclysm so you know they know exactly how to do it too. According to them they say people never made proper use of it, but IMO that's only because they didn't have time to learn to, if homeworld had the same number of immitators that C&C/WC/Dune II had people would have figured out 3D tactics and strategy by now
Looks like some shitty alpha version.
Looking forward to this. SotS 1 was very good with all expansions (without expansions it's a bit lacking tbh).
Very much looking forward to this. Still think Cirulis is a cock.
My primary weapons are nostalgia, honesty and surprise!
I never got into sword of the stars one because of bad menu's and terrible voice overs even tough the game itself was quite good, just couldn't spend a lot of time with it.

a) you're dumb
b) having to fucking dick around with your ships because they were more likely to put 8 cutter beams into the back of the dreadnaught in front of it than the enmy was gayer than aids

I think this game is cool , altho i never liked there ship designs

If you haven't tried the game with latest patch + all expansions then you should re-evaluate it. They really fixed a lot of the minor annoyances and added good content.a) you're dumb

i have only played it with the latest patch and all expansions, yet the ships still love to shoot each other in the butt.If you haven't tried the game with latest patch + all expansions then you should re-evaluate it.

the maneuvering AI is terrible it doesn't seem to know how to deal with the newtonian physics they programed into the game, just runs toward wherever you point it at full burn and then overshoots it and swerves round drunkenly for awhile.i have only played it with the latest patch and all expansions, yet the ships still love to shoot each other in the butt.If you haven't tried the game with latest patch + all expansions then you should re-evaluate it.

Using a mass driver to slam an enemy dread into its own planet makes all the wonky physics and AI worth it.
I just want something that feels like MoO2 but with something remotely resembling balance, larger maps, better AI etc.
And don't say GalCivII, I absolutely loathe ship design in that game.
SoTS with full expansions is a pretty decent game to be honest. I did not care for the original at all, but I saw the complete pack on impulse for like $15 and picked it up for the hell of it. The game is incredibly deep and the AI can put up a better challenge than most 4X games AI will. I'm optimistic about the second if they can fix all the little annoying bits that SoTS had while simplifying some of the more annoying game mechanics (freighter management needs to DIAF) to streamline play. The video definitely looks like an alpha build; the ship texturing and lighting is vastly more polished than the laughably low resolution textures used on the planets.
:shrug: If we are lucky, they improve the game and fix the annoying bits while offering an improved engine that can actually like, use shaders and physics. That would be a good space 4X game for years if it plays out as such.
