Astrox is a nice game made by a responsive solo dev who deserves to be supported :) Thanks for the video!

It's legit mind-blowing to me. Such a cool game. Too bad my CPU can't handle it properly! 🥲 X3 is cool but I primarily play on a laptop monitor and the UI is too small if I don't lower the resolution and make everything blurry. If only there was a mod for scalable UI.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw It's the best story driven space cowboy game out there imo.
Be careful with Starbase. It was abandoned for a while. Don't put your money there until they deliver a 1.0 and it is reviewed.

#Starbase, Pausing on development is not a train smash. The emphasis you based on this statement is concerning! You do not know the circumstances around why the developers stopped for a brief period & did not put context to it either. So I would "err" on the caution of your message.
It boggles my mind that star sector came out in 2011 and is still receiving updates and the modding is nuts.

Yes its a lot of fun! :) Glad you liked it :)
Had so much fun in Pulsar with my mates. I was always the pilot - Pom Taris.
Space Sim games are by far my favorite of all time. I'm always on the hunt for something awesome. I had all the games in this video already on my wishlist..or already in my library. :)
Amazing list bro I will def revisit some of these!
I'd love to see a 4x space game with the fun and simplicity of Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars but with the expanse of Stellaris but without all the micromanagement monkeying around and "let's make it more complicated" done to Stellaris. Do we have a game like that, yet?
Angles Fall First. It's been completely playable for years but it's just now coming out of early access.
Glad you're liking Starbae and happy it made the list! Now we wait for FB to do something!
Astrox Imperium is single developer game with rocks just as 'huggable' as in Eve. 'Huggable' in a sense of graphically pleasing textures that will make you want to fly around at much lower distance that is permitted by your mining laser and feast your eyes.

I'm playing Delta V every now and then. It's nicely slow, noo pew pew pew in space, just some mining and discover mysteries in th3 rings of Saturn. Sometimes even funny eastereggs 😂 Also I highly recommend the X3 games. Not only Farnhams Legacy but also the other three X3 games, maybe you don't need to play X3 Reunion, the first of 4 games.
Cool, I'm always looking out for new space games

I *love* Pulsar. My group is spending all our time in Helldivers right now, but I am desperate to get them back into off-brand Star Trek.
Once Starship Simulator releases in Early Access next year I think it will take over the Pulsar crowd due to the similarties.

Loving the list… and the relentless output from gamings hardest working toobteam…. no slacking!
Recommendation: Nexus - The Jupiter Incident The atmosphere is soooo good! I absolutely love whät they did with the thruster and engine effects as well as explosions and how the camera behaves. Absolute beuty of an DX8 game. :)

Ohh i played that so much on my 386 : ) - Art and music
There are so many excellent space games out there that folks are just unaware of! These were some great space titles- super thrilled to see X3: Farnham's Legacy up there! I absolutely adore X3: Albion Prelude (likely my favorite of the series). Some titles I'd recommend: - Evochron Mercenary (space sim- very similar to Elite / #StarCitizen - Chaos Galaxy (guilty-pleasure space/anime-ish wargame that's just a gem) - Distant Worlds: Universe (grand strategy / 4x - perhaps my favorite game of all time) - Helium Rain (space sim- similar again to Elite / Star Citizen but more artistic) Thanks again for sharing!

Great comment. Helium Rain and Evochron featured in the last video! Helium Rain is one of my favorite games actually :)
Starsector continues to be goat of this genre
You're right; I've never heard of any of these.
Yes, time to pick up and play starbase again, the community is active again with development ongoing. Many player ran companies to join. New test universe due any time now to see the work they have been doing. Biohazard are the pirates to join :D

Childern of Dead Space sounds a bit like video equivalent of Eklund's High Frontier 4 All board game.
Astrox Imperium - is the game abandoned? It’s still in EA but there is no more update for nearly half a year since Dec 2023.
DetlaV is lovely !
I was seriously like what is that game in the beginning! Then you covered it haha. Im really curious to try it out :)

I always hope that ORB/Offworld Resource Base will show up on these, and I'm always disappointed. It probably wasn't earth-shaking, but it always held up well to me and did some really interesting stuff, even in the era of the original Homeworld.

An indie space RPG, called Stellar Tactics, that is much better than Starfield, in my opinion, Is a party-based isometric RPG with land missions and space missions - but very few loading screens!

Totally agree! I wanted to advise caution in the video but...if they can get back on track it would be great!
When are they going to remake freelancer one of the best space games ever .
I might be hallucinating but there was a game that came out a while ago where you can build your ship and go to what ever planet you wanted to but it went to a subscription fee. I don’t remember the game.
Wasn't "Farnhams Legend" a mod that was officially endorsed by Egosoft?

I think that's correct!
I never heard of astrox. i see it came out 2019 and its still.... in early access. guess that is kinda the norm now, longer Eas... my first thought was pulsar. game that came and went in space games to play... i want to play it but last i heard the AI doesnt do well if u play solo. i dont have 3-4 friends lol. Personally this day and age with games. i feel a game should have 1 of 2 things. A demo. that ofc limits ur progression. but unlimited time... or some sort of rental- trial period. Elite dangerous, x4 foundations just to name a few took me good 10+hours to get just the raw basics to get going. took me good 20-30 hours game time before i finally could traverse the universe somewhat competantly in elite dangerous..... almost gone are the days of the 2-4 hour games u load up day 1 and beat in 4 or less hours and never play again. these open world games need to make it cheaper for the new players to get into them. it really help them stand out atm too. flip side. 7 days to die is coming out of EA? can it be? finally....lol

The problem with Astrox is the market interface is nowhere near as good or helpful as Eve's. It makes it almost unplayable, frankly. Considering how much else is directly ripped from Eve, not having a good market seems more like a choice than an oversight.
No starsector?
