Starshatter.Gathering.Storm-RELOADED





Story/Description:

Starshatter represents the next generation of space combat simulation games. Starshatter extends the gameplay concepts of the classic sims by combining fighter and starship combat in a single game. Starshatter also integrates elements of real-time-strategy games by allowing fleet commanders to direct the battle on a tactical level.


Features:

* Small Frigates are used for air defense. They can shoot down enemy fighters and torpedoes with rapid fire plasma cannon and interceptor missiles.

* Destroyers are attack platforms that can engage enemy ships one-on-one or in small groups.

* Cruisers are the backbone of the fleet's attack capability. They carry devastating firepower that can effectively engage any size target; even a military battle station.

* Carriers are the cornerstone of the fleet. They deliver fighters and strike ships to the scene of action, and they coordinate the entire battle plan.

Anyone tried it? Doesn't look as good as X3 (gameplay-wise or graphics-wise), which should be considered space-sim god.

Have you even tried the full game? I didn't think so either...

Honestly, while X3 looks good, has a complex university and many features, it lacks the thing I miss the most on space simulators: PROPER FLIGHT PHYSICS! Flying in X3 is boring as hell to say the leat. I'd take I-War/2 over it any day.

This game is about flying a ship and fight against enemies Right? There is no little RTS element in it for lets say upgrading weapons, building ships etc, just flying in you fighter and shooting at enemies?

Do you have any shields in this game? ive been hit by my own wingman and its instant death , there is no way of knowing how close to you another enemy/fighter is. Sure there is a distance thing but you could be trying to change angle and boom

Buggy as hell for me. Sound is stuttering and being extremely weird. Might be because i use Win2003 64-bit edition though. The installer complained about not having a supported OS...

the demo on the WEBSITE is from the much older version might not even be the game you are playing now.

Ok checked the game. It's crap. Graphics are OK, sound is crap and it keeps skipping. Missions are boring since most of the time you are just flying from nav point to nav point and pressing shift + insert to skip time ahead. But the worst thing is the damage model. It just takes 2 or 3 shoots and your engines can become disabled. Your hull is pretty much still intact but you can't move.... mission finito. Or your targeting system goes to hell and you can't launch missiles. Instant mission failed. Deleted.
