Let's talk about /vr/ space games. They don't have to be space sims or anything like that, as long as they're set in space it's fine.

For me, its Freespace 2. I like Homeworld too.

Technically earth is in space so GTA 2 is fair game. It really captures that homeworld aesthetic

I fixed tachyon the fringe's issue with reshade and wrappers due to low stack the executable had (is now 1mb from 256kb)
now is it possible to mess up with, plus the game is now stable unlike before
i simply need to find a way to upload the patched space.exe

Thanks for reminding me about this game. I totally forgot I played it off of a demo disc until just now.

Space rogue. Like elite but you can get out of your ship like an RPG kinda.
>>
>>12047885
Yeah the game is still solid til this day.

The majority of space games are on PC, but are there any console exclusives worth playing?

>>12048421
Colony Wars 1 2

OG battlezone 98 works on modern pc's without patch 1.5 and guess what, all it took was a rename

It takes place on a planet...

Incredible freedom. Discovering the space whales around the main star was pretty cool.

>>12050415
To be honest, I didn't have any clue what this game was about when I was playing this as a teenager.

It's picrel for me at the moment - though very much honorable mention to the Wing Commander and Privateer series.

I remember playing the demo too - must try it when you've fixed it Anon, I loved flying around the capital ships.

>>12047815
>>12047827

Absolutely, I still need to try the version they made in the X Wing Alliance Upgrade engine.
>>
>>12055387
It is easy to do.
>Download Visual Studio
>Chose the latest SDK like 2021 or so that has editbin in it
>use the /stack command line on space.exe
>have fun

The reason Sentinel Worlds and Star Control 2 look similar is because they are both clones of Starflight, which is underrated as fuck
