I can't deny that I was estimating what might be involved in writing an exporter from such a game to orbiter... But that's all daydreams. Maybe one day when I retire...Begin such an add-on for Orbiter and I'll join you instantly.

I don't think that's possible. Either I'll hit it any year now, or I'll never have one... ?I think it would be more realistic to finish before we both enter our midlife crisis

ED is still peak space combat for me - no other game really comes close to nailing the visuals, sounds, and overall feel of flying in space like it does; but unfortunately that's really where most of the good things end because FDev was never really capable of creating interesting gameplay loops, especially for endgame content where your only real option is to either engage is broken and completely unbalanced PvP (which is nowadays mostly reduced to occasional griefing due to how low the player count is), or discovering the same-looking icy planet over and over again which apparently passes for exploration.Haven't tried Odyssey yet, but ED is a blast. Perhaps a bit too much space shooter sometimes, but perhaps that was just my gameplay style
That reminds me of the original vision for Mass Effect: Andromeda - hundreds of planets to explore with a flyable spaceship and the usual Bioware RPG elements focused on your crew. Essentially it was supposed to be what old school Bioware wanted to do with the original Mass Effect in the mid '00s but couldn't due to technical and budget constraints; but between some really bad mismanagement and inexperience of the developers from what was essentially a 'B' team (especially when dealing with the Frostbite engine they decided to use as UE4 wouldn't cut it), we ended up with a game whose only lasting legacy are memes about bad facial animations in vidya.I would really love to have a more Star Trek like experience in gaming: The ship is the map, everything else outside just happens outside. Instead, you have a large crew to interact with, etc. Maybe some way to visit space stations, switch to a new ship, explore planets... but still, your current ship should be all the world you need. No boredom, because additionally to the events outside the ship and its mission, you also have your relations to the rest of the crew, your own character to develop, etc.
Oh, it is? Oh well, that means it's also free of the curse of being able to run on my laptop... ?

should've put No Time for Caution by Hans Zimmer thereMeanwhile, first EVA in KSP on console... let's just say it could've gone better?
Played 2033 and Last Light. Both good games. But I hear Exodus is pretty much the best, gameplay and story-wise. Btw, I think the producer is Ukrainian, so they're pretty much in the same boat with the Stalker series, but the writer is russian, and is now on Russia's federal wanted list. No risk of falling from windows, he's outside Russia thoI have been playing through the Metro series. Very good, linear story-driven, FPS games.
Dude, I went into 2033 and Last Light and did not realize I was going to end up spending three vacation days just playing and playing. Such captivating gameplay, and an incredible take on a post-nuclear apocalypse. I am usually a Fallout player because I adore the style and setting in those games, but Metro just hit a different spot. Artyom's journey is so personal, and I love how you can do some roleplay on the type of morals he has.Played 2033 and Last Light. Both good games.

speaking of Metro and Stalker, anyone who didn't tried Chernobylite - should
asap
Oh, is that a combination mod like Anomaly for STALKER?
Started playing Star Trek™: Bridge Commander a few weeks ago.
