RE: X4 - Cradle of Humanity DLC

<t>It's sure that Egosoft has improved the series since the initial X series through X-Rebirth and Foundations, but I wonder if the company will ever make the big step and include planet exploration and station building planetside in the game, all other good space games like No Man's Sky or Elite ...

RE: Ad Astra

<t>It's been a long time, more than 8 years, and I haven't posted here since, but I still play Ad-Astra, one of my favorite free space games. The UI is something to get used to, and once you have made the right 'Input' and 'Preferences' settings you can quickly get into this game. I'd like to give ...

RE: Orbital map and ETA calculations

<t>Thank you very much nozmajner for your response and details. I have read the link before posting and figured out that you need to be in the 'Coasting' phase for these 5 tabs to make any sense, despite of that I was never able to plan a maneuver with them, but the flying UI in the Front View gives ...

RE: Can a ship be modded to act like an exploration rover on a body?

<r>Hi nozmajner,<br/>
I very appreciate your feedback, tyvm.<br/>
For anyone partecipating in the development, I do understand that asking such questions appears to be sort of arrogance, but in my case it's just lack of knowledge of what is feasable in terms of programing. Unaware of what can be ...

Can a ship be modded to act like an exploration rover on a body?

<t>I'm surprised that this question doesn't come-up more often, but I'm convinced that the title idea is impossible to achieve, else I think we would see it in Pioneer already. So, a land rover or even an avatar in 1st person mode walking on a body which both technically act as a 'ship' is this ...

Orbital map and ETA calculations

I have a question reguarding the orbital map and the 5 setting tabs you can change on the upper right. As I understand you can plan a maneuver by changing these ...

List of space games that trully represent space

<t>Hello,I'm looking for space games that do represent space most accurately in size simulated, distances and time to travel, realistic orbits and most existing space objects included.It must be a game, not an astronomical simulation (like SpaceEngine). Also all objects must be 'real bodies' in the ...

The Wing Commander series have a very good storyline, but such a playing style contradicts free roaming...you will have to follow the story - and the series of missions.XenonS

RE: Looking for a singleplayer space sim!

<t>The mixture you want probably doesn't exist yet, you will have to wait for Star Citizen, but it will mainly be a multiplayer game. As for No Man's Sky: With the recent update (see my post in its section), a 'lot' has been added since the rather poor start, so you may want to look again for it ...
