To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Gemini Wars is a RTS that is in development by Camel 101. Looks like a game like Armada 2526 and Sins of the Solar Empire.
Checkout the website here: http://www.geminiwars.com
Decades have passed since war erupted between the United Space Federation and the Alliance of Free Worlds.
A bloody conflict that seemed to have reached a stalemate is now about to change, when a third faction suddenly appears.
Take control of a fleet commander returned from exile, and join an epic war across the stars.
Platform: PC/Mac
Features:
- 3 unique factions, with different units and strategies.
- Epic single player campaign.
- Ability to control fleets of starships, space stations and planets.
- Research tree leading to powerful units and upgrades.
- Cinematic battle camera.
- Multiplayer action providing endless re-playability.
- Unique gameplay providing a refreshing twist to the RTS genre.
Gameplay:
In Gemini Wars, you are a fleet commander rising through the ranks of the United Space Federation forces.
Start with a small group of frigates, and climb your way to controlling battleships, carriers and planetary bases, in huge space battles and boarding actions.
Build space stations and orbital facilites to fortify your position, build your fleet, extract minerals and research upgrades.
Execute boarding actions using marine special forces, and bombard your enemies with orbital long range cannons.
Join the conflict on Gemini Sector on Q4 2011.
nice i love rts space games end of the year a must buy somehow i just knew this year was going to be good for games shame there its nothing coming out this month or feb O_o
The graphics are kick-ass but SOASE still looks better I believe.
Sins of a Solar Empire? tryed it did not like 😯 alot of memu's i hate that its ok if you are playing a rpg but not a rts
That's one of my favorite sci-fi RTS games. I was really impressed by how it looked, the graphics were crystal clear and it's definitely in my top 10 games "evar" 🙂
SoTSE engine is a good one, shame they don't release it to everyone for free 🙂 But I would tend to agree there is a lot of menu/ui work to do in that game. Least from the videos Gemini Wars looks to be pretty simplified which I tend to like a lot these days. Gemini Wars will be released later in the year so it will be nice to see what else Camel 101 does with the game until then. Wonder if they will have a beta... might have to contact them and see if they can pop in 🙂
Oooh, this looks very nice. but I may only be attracted to this game because my birthday is in June. 😛
They've released a new gameplay trailer of Gemini Wars. Looks amazing... make sure you watch it in HD! 😀
There's also a good Destructoid interview here - http://www.destructoid.com/you-are-not- ... 4255.phtml
Sins was ok. Pretty, but ultimately shallow. No single player campaign really let the game down. 🙁
What I did notice about the previous trailer was that Gemini Wars takes a bit from Conquest Frontier Wars in that you build your buildings/command areas around the orbit of the planet.
I saw this video to that shows off the power of the fighter squadrons....
Having a quick look around their website, I can see they have some very talented people on board for this. Could this be the game that could finally scratch that Homeworld 3 itch? 😎
Glancing over the blog and its nice to see the blog updates about the individual ships being added to the game and their background.
This game looks interesting, but that teleport right in front of enemy troops of the whole player fleet in the trailer looks quite weird. No room for planning, maneuver or anything. I hope its just because its an early build.
Some new screen shots from Gemini Wars which can be downloaded on the Iceberg site.

Also a release date of 1Q 2012.

That is about right time frame because I will be reviewing that shortly.
Yup this one out now, must update my list.
Anyone played it.
I have, I will try to get the review up this weekend.
