well, 9 examples out of 10 say they'll fuck it up, but regardless of that depressing and likely reality...

I didn't play Miner Wars... was it that much of a fuckup?

its was just really boring. It wasn't like 1/10, suicide. Just... way too hype for too little actual good content

This looks like..."Hold left mouse button for an hour while you "build" a pre-fabricated object that can be damaged and repaired"

The building/repairing/damage model looks pretty nifty and certainly has a place in a space game...but that better not be all its about...

After their utter fuckup with Miner Wars, probably spending the money from the buyers to develop tech for their other titles, I'm very surprised that they have such boldness to simply launch another title that looks so much like Miner Wars meet Minecraft.

As werty892 said:

Really? No. Miner was was supposed to be this. And instead they released a half assed campaign with SPHESS RUSSIAN shooting. Yeah, no. Don't even bother.

Don't get me wrong - once I saw the video, I was really excited.
But when I realized it's from the same guys from Miner Wars (which I bought very early, they took a lot of time to finish it and I stopped playing on the second mission, feeling scammed), well, I'll let them create another horde of disappointed customers.

If B12ers get it and start reviewing it positevely, though, I might give it a shot.

Despite all of your (surely warranted) misgivings, I want this game so bad I could cry.

In fact, I just did a little bit.

That much definitely isn't true. The ships are composed entirely of blocks you can place. Ala Minecraft or, more aptly, Starmade.

After reading about the Miner Wars fiasco in this thread, I think I'll stick with Blockade Runner for the time being.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Well, since im interested: I will most certainly get the game a provide a review when its out!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Apparently there is now some kind of beta floating around the lower intertubes. Approach with caution. I'd check it out if I wasn't on mobile internet right now, just to see how it really works and if it's worth bothering with.

[kaian-a-coel]

I have a friend who got it. I'll wait for his feedback and may transfer it to you.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

So this is out. Don't have it yet, but if anyone has played it share it with us!

[Sensei]

Fuck it. Went ahead and bought it after looking at their "community creations" video. It's Starmade with physics and a budget and it just looks really cool. Obviously so far there's still nothing to actually DO, except fuck around, which looks quite entertaining.

Edit: For now, if you're considering buying, you should read the features, and probably give the how-to-play video a look, since it also demonstrates the current features. And of course, there's the community creations video.

Of note:
-Only creative mode for now
-No multiplayer yet
-Smashing things works as advertised
-Building blocks include something called an "explosive cube". I intend to come as close as possible to building a ship entirely from these.

[Facekillz058]

I've not played the game yet, but from what I've seen, the space jousting almost makes this worth buying,
But seriously, dat destruction.
