    Speaking of biggest could you look at some games that are 4x but allow you to still control fleets in battles? I'm a capital ship with a small amount of ships in the fleet kind of guy.

    SP Gemini is great for sure. I didnt play one, but I do have access to it thru 2s better engine.
    Warlords is still my favorite. 3 is stupidly hard to get into for me because its more frigate focused until your max level to get a cap ship....which can be a long grind. Even the Devs know they shot themselves in the foot with their decision to do 3 like they did. Unfortunately, from what i recall a few years ago, their studio had a fire and they have had a hard time getting back up to things.

    4:02: I love this game. EGS is interesting, complicated to a point where you get into ship and base building. I have mountains carved out that would make NORAD cry. Don’t open the first few halls. Each hall was a base placed next to one another and connected by miles of tunnels, moons carved hallow… too much time as a mole.

    I feel like the old X-Games have been a forgotten aswell, at least a little bit. I'm very happy that X4-Foundations made such a huge name for itself in the space-sim community, but the 3 X3 games will always be my favourite space sims ever and they can be picked up on sale for less than 5 bucks at times.
    They are very different from X4, and are definetly worth checking out! X3:TC/AP aged beautifuly and, despite beeing 16/13 years old at this point, still provide amazing visuals today.

    @efxnews4776 2 місяці тому

    from your list the only one i definetaly have played is Empyrion, on one hand the fact that you can literally build everything from bases to capital ships using block could be either a blessing or a curse, depending on how you would think about this game...
    I spend months crafting a capital ship, a small cruiser class ship, and honestly that ship was one of the most amazing things i ever did, on the other hand, there's basically no point in doing this ships, because they will either be wreacked with a single shot of a bigger ship, or you would completely demolish, a small ship with a bigger ship, in other words, the space combat is quite unbalanced, on the other hand, the whole galactic survival is really true, you are constantly dealing with things like thirst, hungry, cold, heat, radiation toxixity, and even parasites, besides the creatures you alson need to face, your ship sort of becomes a mobile base where you can travel anywhere, that fact that you can store vehicles on capital ships also is a good thing, but you are constantly trying to find fuel for your machines, and that keeps you on the loop.
    it is a good game, but need some improvments to be a better game.

    I agree with Nexus being a pretty good game, I've played it a few times over the years, but it's got its problems, or maybe I should say irritations, and I'm not just talking about Vice Admiral Norbank the giant douchebag lol. Interestingly, if you've played Days Gone then you will have recognized his voice as the equally annoying Colonel Garret, so that must be his acting forte, having a knack for pissing people off.
    There's a lot of space trash out there that is not worth peoples time today, nothing else on that list I'd try again. I prefer to play campaigns of the best games we've had and leave the mediocre stuff alone, they might be cheap but the combined cost is better spent on or put towards one good game than several poor quality games. Helium is free though so fair enough.
    Always nice to come across another channel of space nuts.
