Excellent. Slavery or purge, both careers for the Xeno.

Something similar might be possible with the Factions system which hasn't been explained yet. An Individualist faction could take control of the gulag sector, free the slaves, and march on the Imperial capital.

Same people and same Johan. I have no hopes for stellaris because this is modern Paradox who's developing this shit. And they're just going to fuck it up along the way because a tumblrina with a one post count will think that xeno genocide is "problematic".

Anything from outlaw star or skies of arcadia, though the latter may not count due to them being airships.
Grappler ships are the most retarded wonderful thing and we will never get a game based around them.

So, Polaris Sector has been released. Just bought it but I will have to wait a while until I try it out, got a shitton of games on my backlog that I have to play first but I wanted to support the devs.
It's sort of like Stellaris but less faggy with a focus on wargaming instead of grand strategy. The research system is also somewhat unique with fundamental and applied sciences being different things
>>8771144
> Recommend any space games that aren't focused around combat and/or strategy?
The Outer Wilds, No Man's Sky, Orbiter, Starflight, Prospector, Captain Blood, Race Into Space, Noctis. Some of those are pretty old, haven't seen a final release yet or are free games with no grafics to speak of but those are the ones I can think of on the top of my head that are interesting. Most space games are about going pew pew pew with lasers or managing fleets or empires.

I don't think they even need that, they're a Swedish studio after all, internal pressure to self censor will be enough.
That and the fact that they will chop the game up to sell it as DLC and mindlessly release a shitton of small to medium sized expansion DLCs that will make the game a clusterfuck will also contributing to it sucking.
>>8774770
It doesn't run very well on modern systems unfortunately, I tried to play it recently remembering having fun with it back in the day but my mouse cursor was fucked no matter what I tried. Apparently I was lucky to even get the game to run if you go by the support threads dealing with compatibility problems. Such a shame.

It is, but its apparently one of the best paying messes cryptic is currently running.
It tells more about the quality of cryptics games than of the quality of STO.
Also, folks are predicting that its going to go through a Delta rising 2.0 with the skill revamp.
The thing is that when skills get revamped, tons of skills are going to be rolled under new ones, like particle generators will simply become crit chance or crit severity boosts and crew health improvements will most probably disappear all together, leaving behind hull health increasing buffs and such.
In short, they are gonna simplify the crap out of it and in doing so they seek to nerf NPCs (and players too), with the brunt of that hit going yet again at the poor science players.
No rest for the space wizards.

Polaris has a lot of gender and sexual fetish pandering in the race descriptions - disturbing and not needed in the game, if it was a mechanic in some way - then yes, that would be interesting.
Plus it feels clunky for some reason.

At one point the game got called "Tacticals Online" because they nerfed Science to the ground and buffed the Tacticals so much that there was no point playing anything else.
