I've lost days of my life playing this. Spiraled into no sleep schedule days just finding ships, trading, upgrading. I vividly remember needing to take a break and walking my dog and thinking about how to balance out my shield beetles and strong winds. For some extra fun I play some BGM when customizing ships - Light velocity by Isamu Ohira. I took the time to narrate major events of my playthrough to chatGPT and instructed it to feed me back characterizations and backstories to my crew just to squeeze a little more out of my game. I frickin love this game.
I think that the best open source game might be rts BAR - Beyond Any Reason, it's a multiplayer rts like Supreme Commander or older TA with grand scale and large player base.
such a great space game, dunno about the "best open source game" part but it's definitely up there, it really doesn't get any better than this
I love it and I want more of it
@@Mot2332 same friend, have you played starsector?
@@absentchronicler9063 I have, there's a playlist on the channel for when I streamed it a year or two ago

crew customization when
cool, thanks
Cap'n Hector says "Avast!"
*gets blown up*
There is also an Android port of this game. Works pretty good.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know
This reminds me a lot of starsector. Very nice.
I do see the resemblance, especially how the customization comes into play
I agree

thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out
I remember playing the star trek mod for this game for hours and hours as a kid. Awesome game, and awesome mod. It was called The Final Frontier.
that does sound cool
Where is such a mod?
Looks worth a look, cheers!
I highly recommend it
Mindustry best open source game

I'll check it out, thanks
One or my favorite games. I've played hundreds of hours, was one of the few free games worth playing when all I had was a cheap laptop to game on.
I hadn't considered that, but I see how it could be awesome as a kind of pseudo-mobile game. Runs well and can be played in short bursts
This looks like a copypaste of Naev, quite literally a 1:1 replica by the UI, planets, ships, combat, trade, but looks better in quality.
They are both inspired by the Escape Velocity games, Naev's website even directs you to try this game if you like them.
Endless Sky came before Naev, but both are inspired by the Escape Velocity series.
I was gonna say that, but looks like you guys got it
