There was... We seem to have lost the last 2-3 days worth of posts

See the gallery at heroinware.net if you would like to view some images.

Status: offline 		hey, just had a thought...
you know what I'd love to see next?

I would dearly love to see a starship turn based game.

anyone ever play Starfleet battles? The old tabletop game?

I would dearly love to see VB do to that what they did to Battletech with Titans of Steel.

I really can't think of any, or at least any recent, turn based stategy game dealing in space combat. I mean, you see some in almost any 4x game, but I mean in depth combat. You just never see that.

Homeworld did great for real time, granted. But, frankly, I prefer turn based, always have, always will..

Status: offline 		Funnily enough with the demise of the Babylon 5 wars game, Full Thrust not doing well and Battlefleet Gothic being a bit too simple minded for me and my friend I decided to put pen to paper to design one. I will bore you with the details some other time though

You are right though there has not been a half decent turn based space ship game since Master of Orion 2's inbuilt tactical game or harking back even further SSI's Star General. it's about time somebody programmed one, now who is Virtual Boy enough to do so...

Status: offline 		Stars! is a great game -- it's old (1996) but very deep, a bit like chess among the galaxies. As long as you don't mind odd graphics (Cheh!) it's got a learning curvelike a rollercoaster and plenty of opponents. It managed to steal Hetzer from you all, anyway :p

http://www.crisium.com/stars ---- info
http://stars.lelv30.net ---- to buy the full game - prices vary wildly with exchange rates

I don't mean 4X. I mean full on starship on starship combat. A TBS system, vs the RTS system we find so ofte in games like Homeworld.

I have yet to see anything like that, really ever.

I played Starfleet battles, and loved that, just can't find opponents anymore.

I used to play Interceptor the boardgame eons ago, it was fun. I still have the PC version somewhere, though I doubt it'll still run.

Well, I am currently resurrecting the W.O.S.P project (does anybody remeber? ).
To the left you can see "BLACK PANTHER" walking down the street.

What do you say about her looks?

I remember you thinking about WOSP from a couple years back I'd like to see what you can do with it!

BLACK PANTHER... hmmm a STORM hairdoo, but with a less gawdy outfit

I know it's real-time but you should try out Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates. Those were all based on SFB. You can also set how long turns are and pause it. I'd recommend it.
