The graphics in that clip are quite good. The voice acting, however, is terrible.

Oh absolutely.  And it's not like Kerberos can't do good voice acting.  Most of the voices in Sword of the Stars were fairly hammy, but actually worked quite well.  All three intro movies had great voice acting even if it was just narration.

EDIT: Hey does anyone know of any good mods of SotS?

[Sergius]

They try to make it so scary "they're coming for YOU!" and screaming, but with that voice acting, I don't know if I'm watching a sketch of Monty Python...

[forsaken1111]

I am a bit stoked about the new race though. They've said that playing the Lords of Winter will really give you the feeling of playing as the dark shadow falling over the galaxy.

For some reason I imagine we'll be fighting against Santa Claus and his elves...

Where the f* is Northstar?

Where the f* is Northstar?

Supposedly a privateer/elite type game.

I love SotS and SotSII has promise, but I'd wait on it for Northstar.

Seeing what the team has done previously, I think they could do a privateer type game very well. It will be well after SOTS2 hits that they'll be working on Northstar in earnest though, I imagine. They're a pretty small studio.

Will it be set in the SotS universe?  That would be pretty cool.  The games have a great backstory, but no actual ingame plot other than what you imagine yourself.  With a smaller scale they could possibly get in to this finally.  I remember Malfador Machinations doing something like that once with Space Empires.  Don't know how that turned out though.

It was a decent game, I enjoyed it. I don't know if Northstar would be set in the SOTS universe, makes sense tho.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

It has to be!  Just imagine playing a Zuul male and running around sending your Harem down to worlds to capture other races to mind rape!

Yeah, um... It's be cool to be able to play as a Morrigi male though and then join up with trade caravans and stuff to both guard them, and get an increase in travel speed.  And when you earn enough prestige you finally get to go visit the womens on land.

Ooh, and you could form your own massive fleet that goes everywhere super fast!  Awesome!

EDIT: OH yeah, for those that didn't know, stellar systems and ship subsystems are in SotS 2!

[forsaken1111]

I always enjoyed that fact that Zuul despise biological warfare as a tool of the weak. They themselves are completely immune to biological weaponry.

Zuul bio-missiles carry a payload of zuul young, which are voracious omnivorous mammals about the size and shape of weasels. They spread out from the impact point, consuming all life. Often colonists simply think this is some new predator asserting itself, and the truth is often learned far too late. If this infestation is not fought off quickly, the zuul will reach maturity and actually take over the planet from the colonists.

Looks nice...

Looks Fireflyey!  While not what I was expecting that's certainly not a bad thing.
