Any of you know any sci-fi games[set in space] that have randomly generated quests/missions/maps and so on that you could recommend? Preferably 4x as well-Also, i prefer a game that let's you colonize planets[and if possible, zoom in for a planetary view].
Anyway, any suggestions?
Aren't all space 4x games like that besides the quest/mission part?
As far as non-4x games go, Space Rangers 2 definately. Semi-random quests (semi since they're sometimes based on how the war goes) as well as text-based adventures ranging from surviving in prison to making a successful ski resort within some time frame. Also contains an RTS subgame for planetary surface combat, but I found it pretty bland.
There's also Star Fleet 2, which was pretty robust for its time. Initially you were tasked with entering some randomly generated sector and finding enough colonizable planets in some limited time. With each mission, this eventually evolved into playing negotiator with non-aligned aliens, fighting off starfleet ships (you're actually fighting against them in SF2), sending boarding parties and finally wide-scale planetary invasion, which was a game of its own and later was re-released as a spin-off called Star Legions.
Only problem is getting it to run appropriately. Last I played it basically froze every time I got attacked, I suppose due to bad pc speaker emulation or something.
