PTW, need this so bad.

[Orangebottle]

I've unlocked everything but the mantis ship. So fun.

Spoiler: MASSIVE SPOILERS WARNING WARNING ALERT ALERT ERROR (click to show/hide)

1.The Torus, the donust engi ship, is unlocked by reaching sector 5. I think you need an engi in your crew, not sure.

2. The Nesasio, the stealth engi ship, is unlocked by completing a certain mission for the engies.
   -Go to the engi homeworld
   -Save a engi station from attack(I think)
   -Have an engi crewmember, and select the blue "Have your engi crewmember contact them"
   option when it appears.
   -Go to one of the two quest markers that appear on your map.
    -Fight the rebel ship there until it surrenders
    -Depending on which one you encountered, you'll either have to go to the other quest marker 
    and repeat the process, or go to the new quest marker.
    -Destroy the enemy ship there and follow the dialogues to receive the engineer ship.

3. The Osprey, federation cruiser, is duh. Destroy the rebel flagship once and you'll get this vessel as a prize. The flagship is quite difficult to beat, it comes in three phases, and all damage done to the ship(besides the exploded part) is repaired after the first two phases.

It's weapons include a multi-shot Ion cannon, a multi-shot heavy blaster, a multi-shot missile launcher, and a powerful laser beam.

Phase 1: It fires it's weapons on you, and cloaks sometimes. A pretty standard battle. Missiles and bombs will be very helpful during this fight, because it comes with level 4 shields and four separate weapon controls. Focus on the cloaker, shields, and engines.

Phase 2: Now it has no cloaking device, but instead it has three drones. Two attack and one defense. It also loses the ion cannon from the first phase. Every now and then, you'll receive a message about a power surge. Then a ton of attack drones will descend apon your ship. Cloaking is almost necessary here. Focus on the drone control and the shielding.

Phase 3: It's now down to two weapons. Of course, now the ship has an overcharged shield that you have to blast through before you can even touch it. Bombs and teleporters are useless in this phase, they simply won't work. Occasionally, there'll be another power surge warning, and many heavy blasts will be fired at your ship. Focus fire on the shields and teleporter

Any way to buy this now? Missed the Kickstarters.

[Orangebottle]

Not until august. If you're lucky, someone who donated 80$ may give you one of their keys. Just gotta ask around.

[X-03]

Just posting to watch, but I remember when I found this before I saw this post, and thought that the demo was more than just that ONE site... Anyway. I DID want this and search for it for about 4 years, and SS13 worked for a bit, but this looks better

[James009]

So, it's August... any way to buy this, find a demo, or get beta access? This game looks outstanding.

[puke]

looks like a pretty sweet SunDog clone.  Pick up an Atari ST emulator sometime and see what the original was about.

Kerberos (the Sword of the Stars guys) were going to make one called "North Star" with higher production values, but I dont think it ever went anywhere.

I'll buy this FTL thing (cleverly named, as FTL was the name of the game studio that actually made SunDog) if it looks like a whole game when it finally comes out.  I guess I'm just not a fan of the kickstarter hype-machine.

Yeah, it got moved to the backburner in favor of SotSII, but after what happened with that I doubt we will see within at least 3 years.. which is a shame really.

Bring on the 14th!

[Aklyon]

Bring on the 14th!

?

I believe that should be when its out...
They recently sent out some sort of playable beta for this to kickstart backers or something.  I havn't tried it out yet, hows it been for those who do have access?

[jester]

I got my key a few days ago, I believe many others have had theirs for a bit longer,  its fun, but im really hoping for a sandbox/explorer mode, the current game mode pushes you through the galaxies to the final fight and you dont really get time to dither about poking at stuff.  Ive also found winning to be fairly dependent on the RNG.  Ive gotten to the last galaxy and been fairly underpowered in terms of pickups.  But yeah, im having fun with it.

access was granted to the beta purchasers since back in late july. The game is almost roguelike and at times can screw you very hard but i like it. The variety of aliens is meh-ish but their perks are nice though it feels like a coffeebreak game.

[jocan2003]

It is exactly that, a coffee break.

[Charmander]

Still a coffee break game I've sunken seventy hours in.
