You can play it or watch it, and establish how much of each you want to do. I hear it is very good, but I also see it essentially as a sim game that happens to be set in space rather than a space game.
Stardrive 2 ships mod#
The Combined Arms mod fills out the tech trees and adds weapons and ship types. The Blackbox mod is aimed at hunting and fixing every bug. For example, transports were both critical, and broken at a code level.
I hit a very powerful Chick parabola on it though when I realized it was crippled by bugs. I liked Stardrive enough when it released. I plan to give a try with both the BlackBox and Combined Arms mods. I kinda hope Distant worlds 2 will add more complexity to shipbuilding/planetdesign and ship combat, because in these 3 respects, it just is not very good at all.Ĭould be its the better pirate captain sim… The main reason for Stardrives bad rep, is the poor state it was finished in, and I agree on that, but the fanmods fixes EVERYTHING…and it really shines now…I noticed the author has picked up fixing Stardrive 2, but that game lacks the soul of the original. Ship combat was in my opinion poorly done, and solved by outranging the other guy…compared to the amazing detail of space combat in Stardrive, it just pales… The total amount of stars might be less in Stardrive…but its a tad more complicated sim to be honest.Īs for AI, I stripped everything of automation when I played, and really only had anything to do when It came down to building ships and setting up fleets. It will run fleets and build ships and whatever aswell…so there…Īlso the combat is way more spectacular, and the ships far more detailed, you can have an engineering section on that actually fixes shit in combat and you can see every detail of your ship as you fight…its pretty great. While I do find the aspect of piloting a single ship, and letting the AI do the rest, you can do this in Stardrive too, except I think you have to tell it which planets to colonize. Well, I wanted you to come with some examples, and you have.
