Avis sur Star Ruler

Un jeu tellement hardcore qu'on dirait un boulot ;)

Excellent jeu, indépendant et en constante évolution, recommandé pour les fans de jeux de stratégie dans l'espace !!

Comme Civilisation, mais dans l'espace. Gérer votre galaxie et défoncer tout le monde a coups de Battlecruiser.

Game And gameplay are amazing, And this game is very modable. It Has an Ingame ship Editor, And for funniest wars, In multiplayer you can't pause the game while you're editing your ship, Meaning while you may be designing a super advanced ship that Could maybe end your war against your ennemies And break their frontline to attack their homeworld, Which you've had a violent fighting front for about 15 hours of gameplay, They could say blockade your main farming worlds (If you're as dumb as me and put them all in the same system) And make famine in all your empire ! Want a gun that can fire like a freaking angry religious zealot at a hundred bullet per second ? Well just go into the game's file, Copy an existing gun, Change It's stats and voila ! (Of course you can chance The tech level required to unlock, Or put disavantages to it's fast firing rate) You can't do that In multiplayer game, Or else your save Is incompatible, So It prevents cheating. You can also Change the AI's Playing priorities by some weights (How much chance to build a colony ship, A warship, Etc...)Which allows even more custom AIs (Other than just changing their nation color, Name, Their difficulty and their AI type) So then you can have even more AI types. You can also even add custom flags of yours for the AIs To use! You can micromanage planet, Or put governors to take care of them (Micromanaging tho can increase the wellbeing of the empire more somewhat, In some case It doesn't do much to micromanage your stuff) But micromanaging your stuff sometime can make your empire 5x more powerfull and efficient, But It can be hardly done on larger games. What Is great, and what I love it this, Is the external mounts. The external mounts let you put something outside your ship, Allowing you extra space. Even though They are Pretty costly. The ships have about 15 hull space, Why 15 ? I don't even know, But It's a fair number to me so I approve!! Subsystem are always put in 1.0 size,(So 1/15 of your ship) But can be made 4.0 size (1/3.75 of your ship) Or 0.25 size (1/60 of your ship) Mods even allow smaller size (1/120 of your ship !) Or you can mod it yourself so You can make your cannons 3/4 of your ship, Even though It Will eat through bullets like hell. And require a pretty large cockpit to control, So really then It would be useless. So back to the external mount. Those things Make a ship system OUTSIDE the ship, So In fact then It's not protected by your armor, The only protection it would have is the energy shields.... And itself. But Don't worry. External Mounts Nullify The space requirement Of the subsystem it is attached to, But require themselves 1 hull space to anchor the subsystem into the ship. Because Of their ressource cost, It is just Incase You need a tiny bit more space, Because Spamming external mounts on your ship proves less cost efficient then making the ship larger, But having one or two external mount can be a great advantage. You have very varying subsystem, From cockpits, Crew quarters, Life support (I recommend having Two times the life support needed, Like If you need only a 0.25 size, put two 0.25 size on your ship) Power generators of varying type (You have solar panels, normal generators, Fusion generators, Antimatter generators) (And I think a void generator thingy, Don't remember If it's a mod) And solar panels even don't work outside systems(Which in the end makes them one of the most useless system in the game excepts for maybe some scouting drones) You also have repair bays to repair yourself OR other ships docked inside you, (I usually put enough of these to be able to repair a system in 5 seconds(About 1 or 2 of total size), Crew quarters do Give some basic repair rates, But It's so slow that having a huge planet Sized ship would take multiple seconds, Even with it's many crews, To repair even a damage done by a fighter) You also have engines, You have a good variety of ways to hurl across space, From normal combustion engines to ionic engines and Antimatter engines, passing through bussard ramscoop engines And they each have their own fuel consumption, Thrust and whatnot , And with mods you can get twice more engine concepts (Because of course they all work differently, Or else It's useless. If you want better engines, Just get highter tech.) You can have (With mods) A hundred different weapons, You can board your ennemy, Shoot lasers, make those wimps eat fiery hot plasma (Weaklings have no place in space, If you get what other game I reference to) You can even fire at them nano bots to slowly eat the crusty metal out of say, Their crew quarters, Ejecting their crew into outer space ! You can use boarding parties on planets If i'm right (Kinda sending troops to attack the civilians) And if it doesn't work... NUKE THE SITE FROM ORBIT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE !! Can even have Bio weapons to spread ebola ! You have shields, And different armors, Specialized against different ennemies (regenerative high tech nano armor FTW) In the end, This game's excellent. Weak spots in the game: -Not enought player currently as It is old (It Is amazing when you can make a multiplayer game, So much fun having a long and violent war filled with betreyal and genocides) -Diplomacy lacks, That's why I say In multiplayer It is funnier, As you can tell someone your intent more precisely when you propose something. -Game's So amazing I feel hyped each time I see it's name and play it !

Une petite perle des jeux indé, complexe sans être inabordable, les possibilités offertes pas le solf sont juste incroyable, et les MAJs régulières rajoutent pas mal de contenu. Foncez!
