What are the best space and space exploration games?
What are the best space and space exploration games that aren't too hardware demanding (my computer is already five years old)?

Stellaris is pretty good these days, but you might have trouble running it if your CPU is weak
Ayden Garcia
>(my computer is already five years old)
Yes, and? My CPU, RAM and MOBO are 9 years old, and GPU 4yo. I can still run anything at 1080p/60fps.
Check the Space Engineers and DEEP ROCK GALACTIC.

X3 - Albion Prelude/Terran Conflict
It has a learning curve to it but if you wanna lose yourself during this pandemic, it's a very chill way to go.

spaceengine, but if your CPU is weak you can give celestia a shot

It's a nice, short, atmospheric game about remotely exploring a distant planet via a rover, while you stay on a small ship orbiting the planet. It doesn't have much depth or content, but does a superb job at making you actually feel isolated in a strange and desolate corner of the galaxy.

this is a beautiful picture. I wish there were actual space games like this

Got to be Elite Dangerous. With VR nothing comes close but I guess you dont have it after your description of your computer.
Even without it is up there with the best.
Brody Morgan
source of picture?
Mason Campbell
Mass Effect desu
Eli Richardson
Elite Dangerous is really the only correct answer here.
Luke Smith
Honestly if you play in VR it comes close to giving this sense of scale too
Liam Russell
Right answer right here, finding derelict ships early on is hella cool.

It just sucks how much the campaign railroads you and then after you're done with the story, you already have all the best shit pretty much.
Ian Foster
Not really exploration but Homeworld captures the feeling of going off into the unknown better than most
Chase Morgan
>all the best shit
Not by a long shot. The Anubis is barely better than the Rheinland fighter and can't compete with any of the other VHFs, which outclass it significantly.

Kerbal Space Program, it's a very technical game but sense of accomplishment you get from landing on planets with your crafts is something you can't find in any other game.
Ethan Smith
Elite Dangerous sucks dog dick now, fuck Braben and fuck his vision.
Ethan Parker
Why? because of the carrier shit? Just dont buy one.
Parker Gray
Starsector
it get a little stale after a time but mods can keep it somewhat floating. beware its 2d but excellent at what it does.
Dylan Diaz
Plus he wanted a space exploration game, E:D is terrible for that.
Angel Wright
>you already have all the best shit pretty much
not even close. the anubis is a piece of shit compared to the endgame VHF's, not to mention that can find much, much stronger weapons to equip than what you have when you finish the campaign.
What you really mean to say is that once you finish the campaign theres pretty much no content left for you other than exploring and finding said ships and weapons, but then you dont really have anything you can do with the endgame stuff other than shoot endlessly respawning nomads or pirates.
I really wish freelancer got an expansion for this exact reason, such wasted potential.
Brayden Lopez
Came here to post this. I'd also add that you need an attention span to enjoy the game. Even with 10x SETA it can still take quite a while to do things that you want to do.
Gabriel Roberts
>but then you dont really have anything you can do with the endgame stuff other than shoot endlessly respawning nomads or pirates.
Even mods don't fix that fundamental issue since the campaign's shit is semi-hardcoded.
Ryan Scott
What about No Man's sky and Eve? How demanding are they?
This is kinda what I have been looking for. I will definitely check that one out.
Random space thread on /wg/ ages ago.

Jacob Flores
Starsector and Freelancer can scratch that itch on a brick.
Matthew Evans
Have you guys checked underspace? game plays similarly to freelancer. It's not out yet but its worth checking out
Asher Morgan
Mass Effect: Andromeda is great
Gabriel Cox
user, I made Underspace.
Owen Bailey
have some star citizen kino
Elijah Martin
well shit, if you are who you say you are then fck me. I was in a space thread like this one a few days ago which a dev was also in it which introduced me to Underspace

What's this artist's name again?

I'll shill Freelancer to anyone who asks for space exploration games, it really can't be beat in that aspect.
Cooper Nguyen
When is it going to release you big gay baby
Anthony Hall
Alexander Jones
KSP and next year KSP2
Anthony Jenkins
Still the king of space after all these years
Also Kerbal
Kayden Hall
I agree with you on that one. None of these recent games can give you a similar feel to what freelancer had.
Tyler Hernandez
Hurry the fuck up faggot
Samuel Ross
Probably this year still, but while the coronavirus hasn't affected me it has affected some of my artists working on assets.
Cameron Walker
Thanks user, does it play well in coop ?
Isaiah Wood
Fuck space exploration
What are the best space opera games?
Dominic Green
I hope they get well Dev user to be honest Underspace looks promising. hoping it gives back the same feel freelancer had. Btw will the game have some kind of coop in the campaign?
Jason Hill
gas giant airbreaking always felt so damn amazing
Gabriel Hall
user you know the answer. There's only Mass Effect unfortunately.
Carter Price
Freelancer is dogshit.
Kevin Cook
Post your face when you realize you were born way too early ever explore space and set foot on another planet or moon in this Solar System. It fucking sucks I'm stuck to die on this shithole of a planet with nothing to show for it.
Leo James
>Btw will the game have some kind of coop in the campaign?
Not in the campaign for singleplayer, multiplayer is like Freelancer's multiplayer, but it has its own campaign/main quest.
Cameron Morgan

Definitely try Parkan 2, it's old, but looks good and got a lot of interesting features, like boarding, planetary battles with your army of bots, and base building.
Ayden Lopez
Well that's something to look forward too.
Nathan Gonzalez
Space Rangers HD
Camden Bailey
Eve is free to play. Go try that shit.
Nathan Stewart
ok eceleb sperg
Anthony Reyes
It's not like you would have ever been remotely qualified to explore the stars either
Jaxson Hill
user user!
Please say "I HATE NIGGERS 1488 RACE WAR NOW"
Please say that, pleeaaaaaaase
Aaron Peterson
No.
Joseph Jackson
That's complete bullshit but I believe you
Angel Johnson
wut?
Cameron Watson
>finding derelict ships early on is hella cool.
doesn't it suck the fun out of the game if you start it up and go pick these ships up and have everything at once? every beginner guide I see does this and it feels like cheating to me
Jordan Cox
I've probably spent a good 30 hours exploring in Elite Dangerous and I gotta say it's pretty bad
William Diaz
He just posted his kickstarter edit button
Jaxon Ortiz
In the long run a couple small to medium sized ships doesn't matter that much. The scale of the game is insane.
Adam Ramirez
No because it's fighters in a game where you'll eventually be flying capital ships. The real suck part is that there's only like four or five of these ships when there's a shitload of sectors and that's ALL there is to really find since most sectors are fairly generic and follow similar patterns with little to no unique elements.
Daniel Ortiz
>Play E:D
>Space is big, empty and boring
Sounds pretty accurate
Xavier Brown
Starsector is space mountain blade if you're into that
Samuel Bailey
Maybe next gen can bring us something close to that...?
Noah Flores
>dude 0.2c speed limit lol its r e a l i s t i c
fuck this game
Gabriel Stewart
I tried this game for like 2 hours, everything was super complicated and they just dropped me into the game and I had no idea what to do.
Maybe I should pick it up again...
Owen Ortiz
Why not X4?
Nolan Bennett
Homeworld is close.
