If you like Kerbal Space Program and you like space combat, you might like this game. It is literally the most realistic space combat game I've ever seen, with full orbital mechanics, realistic weapons (lasers, missiles, KEWs), and realistically-designed ships (with radiators! ) It looks kind of like a combat-oriented KSP, as you can design your own warships and fly missions in a full-size Solar System, using orbital trajectories to get in a good position to destroy your opponent. The game is, sadly, in closed beta at the moment, but from what I can tell it will be released this fall if all goes according to plan.

Whoops, didn't see that site at first. Thanks Corn!

I'll pass. This has enough meaningless math to choke a space whale, and all the emotional appeal of of a dead cockroach. The whole thing just leaves me cold. Realism does absolutely nothing for me in space games, and this seems to be about as much fun as a textbook on orbital mechanics and firing solutions. Probably best left to an AI to calculate the most optimal performance, and then have it do the associated math as well.

This might become a decent simulation, but it has a snowball's chance in hell to become a fun game.

These quotes have made my day with their proximity.

And I'm not sure if IronDuke did it on purpose.

I did it on purpose, yes. Doesn't make it any less true though. I'm dying to try that game out.

Not sure if it will be fun, but it'll surely be interesting.

I'll throw 20 ish bucks at it if i can play it for that and have as much fun with it as can be had

Oh wait, this didn't already have a thread?
Huh, have been watching it for the last few months.

Will definitely be buying it, if purely because the math is awesome.

Doesn't seem so.

I was kind of surprised it hadn't been posted about before either. Reading the Atomic Rockets site I began wishing for a game like this, and when I looked at the "seal of approval" page, lo and behold, there it was! Even if there's too much math, it'll be an interesting look at space combat I think. If nothing else it'll make it easier to envision what it might be like.

Ooh! Ooh! I want one of them!

Really though, I read encyclopedias. That sounds like great fun.

Ho hum, it seems to have fallen onto the Steam store and gotten itself a page as a bandage.

Oooh, nice! Instant wishlist item Thanks for pointing that out, IronDuke!
