Free Stars Universe

From the artist: "Ship scaling is a tricky matter. I think Star Control needs to set itself apart from the starship-size measuring contest we see in most sci-fi. Maybe building smaller ships is advantageous in the SC universe, as if there's some sort of sweet spot. Without such a restriction, it's easy to escalate things to 2.5km dreadnoughts battling swarms of 8m attack fighters, and that's not what SC is about. The way the ships in SC move, their armament, and crew count, is more reminiscent of nimble torpedo boats and war planes. Perhaps only the ancient races figured out how to make larger ships practical."

From the artist: "Daktaklakpak, K'tang and Ploxis lookalikes. While SC3 might lose its canon status, it did have some memorable races so I wanted to somehow preserve those in paraphrased designs. These roughs are the beginnings of that.

In regards to the Androsynth, we're given the impression that they are all male. However, it's possible, even probable that gendered (and androgynous) designs were made back on Earth. Did they choose to group up according to gender (or lack of)? They likely reproduce by cloning anyways, and they were supposed to be gay according to the devs.

The Druuge, will they be changed by the artefacts given to them by the Utwig, or remain rotten? I don't really address this in my story as they are left behind."

!space_games@piefed.world

Games with a space setting, space-focused gameplay or space motifs. Space sims (Elite, Freelancer, X4), space strategy (Stellaris, Star Ruler 2, Moons of Ardan) or even adventure games with a space setting and themes (Citizen Sleeper, Gemini Rue).

Any games about the great beyond.

I also curate/moderate some other gaming communities, so expect a similar level of engagement.

Alt text: "Meet Reep-Jeep(or RJ for short), an exile from the main Yehat homeworlds. He was exiled because he was born with a malformed wing... which is unfair, because he is rather young, but has the heart of a warrior.

He went to Beta Wolf to find refuge in a place that accepts exiles, and he fit right in. He is (nearly)unshakable."

Seems like the dev is aware of & inspired by UQM: https://bsky.app/profile/quasilyte.bsky.social/post/3lz2j5gbwlk2n
