Christ Centered Gamer

Oh man, I love me some freelancer. I was stoked to find out the post-end content. This was my final ship.
At one time, at my request, CCGR hosted a Freelancer server.

I was bummed out when support was dropped, and when I found out all the features Chris Roberts wanted to put it but couldn't. But, Star Citizen, so I'm good.

I am ridiculously stoked for Star Citizen. I straight up have a physical Star Citizen ID card with my name on it. I am for realz.

It does look awesome. I hadn't really looked at it until now.

Legendary?

Wait for it.

Is it like sword of the stars?

Sword of the Stars, as most turned based space strategy games, brought inspiration from Master of Orion 2.

Sword is pretty good, but Orion 2 is much better, even though it's considerably older. I love many space 4X strategies out there, like Sins of a Solar Empire, Endless Space, Galactic Civilizations, but I don't know of any that's markedly better then Orion (just about unilaterally on every list, too). The debate, I've seen, is whether you prefer Master of Orion 1 or Master of Orion 2.
Not Master of Orion 3.

3 is terrible.

This all being said, I'm pretty excited for Galactic Civilizations 3.

I've only ever played sword of the stars, and only a couple times because I play it with my youth group (which is really small).

If you like Sword of the Stars, I highly recommend trying out the Master of Orion series, Galactic Civilizations 2, and Endless Space.
Or, you know, wait till they come on sale.
As a note, if you do want to get a Master of Orion game, get it through GOG.com. The wrappers they use (a slick DOSBox wrapper) makes it seamless, and they include a well done IPX virtual tunnel that lets you play it multiplayer seamlessly.

Orion is the best, Endless Space is probably the best modern one and plays a little like an updated Orion, and Gal Civ 2 is a good in between, with a mechanic that's a little more of it's own and a ship design system you can easily get wrapped up in.

I don't know how much expendable cash you have to put towards games, but there it is if you wanted to try out more.

Why have I not heard of this until now...?

Dude. And it's going to support the Oculus Rift.

I saw that. I really gotta get a better PC built. I was actually just reinstalling Freelancer.

Ever use the big freighter type ships? That was usually my preference, load one up with turrets and it's nearly a mini frigate.

You know, I didn't actually. I almost always opted for the heavy fighters.

Wing Commander?

McDonald's?

I've been playing some afte I picked up most of the series on GOG.com. Still holds up as a fun game and all the little sounds and music is just nostalgic glory for me. I love the little details to make it an immersive shooter, and that's what really sells me on it.

And like I mentioned, I'm super stoked for Star Citizen and my love of Wing Commander is no small part of it. Too bad Chris Roberts doesn't have the license to make it a Wing Commander game, and have it only stay as a spiritual successor. Doesn't stop him from making little nods (e.g. the trailer for Star Citizen vs. the mission intro videos in Wing Commander).

Occasionally, usually for grabbing breakfast before a little road trip. And when I go, I'm raiding the dollar menu; McDonalds is not something I'd spend much more than a $1 per item.

McNuggets man. McNuggets.

What do you think of the Total War games?
