Got this game last night on steam for 9 euro, been playing it ever since it's one hell of an addictive little indie game, it's a spaceship adventure game with randomly generated missions as you make your way through several races territory on your way to your own fleet.

If you've ever played silent hunter series and you remember the submarine screen where you manage your crew and weapons and repairs etc. it'll give you an idea of how you manage your space ship, it's the kind of thing eve players would like because it's quite intensive in micro-management.

This game was made by two guys from China with a helping hand from the kickstart method, I've not been so impressed with a game in a long time, highly recommend it, and for 9 quid you can't go wrong. So far I've put about 10 hours into it in two days.

Forgot to mention, it's got retro graphics that remind one of UFO: Enemy Unknown and an equally retro soundtrack

It was actually pretty fun. Picked it up on a whim, and spent the whole evening playing my own star trek ship :)

Ok, it didn't go as well as I'd hoped starting out but I can still change!

I saw the video at steam, hmm but it didn't look appealing to me. About the only 2D spacy game I like is Naev. FTL is #2 on steam atm, and I'm not sure why... hehe. Sounds like a good music score though, I like composing/producing music like that. Steam, I'm mainly waiting for X3 goldbox to go on sale.

I'm in it for the money

You just have to think... what would Jebus do? Though usually I'm thinking republican Jebus so I smite them! Pirate

But it is a hell of a lot harder playing as a hippie pacifist that tries to talk it's way out of situations so it is proving to be fun. I'm finding all kinds of new things I didn't know were even in the game P

get to boss ship
kill it, but it magically retreats (hax)

this time it has like 5 attack drones, plus throws drones that board your ship AND shoots you.

The first 2 boss forms are really easy compared to the last one.

There's a third? so far I've only gotten to the second incarnation of the boss and he's killed me quite quickly each time, It seems a good pilot, good engineer and good engines for evasive are a must, as well as good shields.

Judging by his previous form, he's Guristas-affilated.
