Starfarer - Damageable Ship Modules

For more info, visit http://www.fractalsoftworks.com

The Apogee and the Dominator face off in a one-on-one. As they can disable each other's weapons, the fight takes a little longer than it would before and is more tactical.

System reqs please? Or maybe a little tool or demo that allows to test if it will work on my old laptop ;)

[fractalsoftworks]

@F3n10 A demo is looking pretty possible, though I can't say just when. As far as system reqs, 128MB video memory and 1024x768 min resolution - but how well it'll actually run depends mostly on the graphics card and a bit less on the cpu. It's hard to nail down the requirements exactly.

Indeed, some type of ETA would be nice on some features. And i must say, this video basically shows that this game in such an early alpha state has the features (modular ship damage and ahem, Working combat) that Sword of The Stars 2 was supposed to have on release, a friggin 40 buck game!

Take my money! If i could get a refund for SOTS2 i'd friggin pay 40 bucks for this instead.

Indies <3

@Baleur @TheLandFerry If you take a look at the blog, that should give you some idea for the ETA.

How can i get the game ?

[fractalsoftworks]

@maryetab Click on the link in the description, and the should be a "Buy" button. The website is a bit shaky due to all the traffic from the TB video, though :) Thanks for your interest!

@SupercatLB No - in brief, it would require a very different game design (both in mechanics and architecture). On top of that, it's a lot of effort - which I'd rather expend on making the SP mode better, instead of spreading it too thin.

It looks like a near perfect platform for the modding community. I know a lot of people heavy into table top gaming that would eat this up if it is left open enough so that player designed ships and rules modifications so players can engage whatever their favorite flavor of sci-fi is. From Star Trek to Babylon 5 to Firefly to Red Dwarf, the following you would garner from a community of tactical gamers that currently have little to no digital outlet for their obsession would be well worth it

That was a classy finish.

My god that was close! :O

Look out for small asteroids on the way home.

Love the concept of being able to battle it out in a more strategic manner.

Keep up the good work!

[Rekksar]

when will the next patch come out? really love the game so far! it is hard but awsome!

[Trancecend]

Nice! Close battle.

Fractal, looks like you guys are keeping an eye on the comments to your videos! I think that’s pretty awesome. I have been eating up every Starfarer video I can find since I saw TBs video, so you can give him a tip of the hat later when I drop by your site and send $10 your way to check this game out.
