Starcom: Unknown Space Launches [Sep 03, 2024, 7:37 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Starcom: Unknown Space is now officially available for Windows on
GOG.com* and
Steam with a 20% discount, offering a space action/RPG from Wx3 Labs that
recalls bygone classics.
This post discusses changes in version 1.0 for those who played this in
Early Access. Unknown Space uses the same setting as
Starcom:
Nexus, but is not a direct sequel. Here's
a trailer along with
more on this chance to seek out new life and new civilizations, presumably
boldly:
Starcom: Unknown Space is an action adventure RPG of space exploration, ship building and fast-paced tactical combat. Enter a vast open-world universe filled with alien factions vying for power, strange worlds to explore, mysteries to investigate, and a sinister enemy that threatens the galaxy with an ancient power.*Blue's News may receive a commission on sales of this item.
Explore a fully-open world universe with over a hundred star systems filled with undiscovered planets, mysterious artifacts, lost derelicts, and strange phenomena. Over 230 anomalies to investigate, each uniquely illustrated and with their own story.

Has anybody here played Starcom (either one) and also Starsector? I'm wondering how they compare.

I ended up getting it and stayed up too late last night playing. Very well put together game! You were right saying it's better than Endless Sky!
See?!
I played it until midnight without even realizing it. The exploration in it is just so satisfying. The CTXA guys are now my friends, the Devout use me as tales of the implacable, genocidal Grendel to frighten their children in to obedience, the Loccans listen in reverence when I speak, and all while still in my (heavily modified) scout ship.
My only real complaint is how long it takes to acquire resources to build things. Research points are not bad, though.

Appreciate the recommendations. Played a lot of Starscape years ago. This scratched my Star Control II itch a little as well.

Is there any reason to buy the bundle that includes Starcom: Nexus, or is Unknown Space the same thing but newer and better?

Installed at lunch meaning to poke around a bit. Next thing I know it's 3pm and I still have to prep for my presentation tomorrow. 😭

Do you mean Endless Sky? The open source space exploration game? If so, that is very high praise indeed! It was already on my wishlist, maybe I need to actually just get it.
Been playing this most of the day. It's like a far better version of Endless Sky. Which is high praise for me.
Would recommend.
