It's better than SPAZ :V

It's worth buying.

This. SPAZ is a nice top down shooter. Starsector is more space combat simulator and is the better for it.

If Limit Theory comes even close to Starsector, it'll be awesome :twisted:

Yeah, it seems really intense. I watched some videos and have been keeping an eye on development, but I don't have the money to pull the trigger.

My main complaint with SPAZ was that it was very difficult to pull off any sort of tactical manoeuvring (other than "RUN" or "ATTACK") because you only had fine control over one unit at a time. That and the repetitive nature of gameplay after 12 or so hours ("oh man, another star system where both factions hate me.") I probably shouldn't have started with the LUDICROUS sized galaxy to start with... Starsector, from what I can tell, gives you a lot more control over units you aren't piloting and has the player make more interesting decisions than what kind of weapon to put on your ship.

Yeah, too big a galaxy and it gets old fast. If too small, instead, it becomes hard to fetch new technology and you tend to lag behind the tech curve.
My personal preference was to set the galaxy at 1/3rd of the suggested size. It struck a nice balance.
