Pulsar: Multi-crew Spaceship Exploration Game
Like Artemis and some of the other games of this ilk, Pulsar is a game where up to five players can board a spaceship and roam around the universe in search of adventure.
What sets Pulsar apart from other games in this new sub-genre is that you're actually a person onboard a ship instead of just being glued to a single console all the time. You can get up and wander around, interact with different systems, and even leave the ship to do EVA or away-team style missions on planetoids.
Currently in Early Access. Probably going to end up streaming my first forays into gameplay this Friday if you're curious, or if you already own it/want to buy it and tag along.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/252870/
It also seems like you have a lot more to do. Other games like this have strictly been combat games but Pulsar includes more exploration, communicating with NPC's, trade, etc. You're also able to save your progress (?) or something on a voyage so it's not just mission-to-mission gameplay.

Re: Pulsar: Multi-crew Spaceship Exploration Game
So SS13: Gateway Realized Edition?
It actually looked pretty good, but when I saw they wanted 25 dollars for it I shit myself. No way I'm paying that much.

Re: Pulsar: Multi-crew Spaceship Exploration Game
It's kinda pricey for early access, yeah, but enough people I know already owned it so I went for it.
Like I said if you want to ride along and check it out fo' free I'll probably be playing it tomorrow evening with people.

Dang, cool. A little pricey though... maybe I'll buy it. I'll think about it, see how the stream goes.
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.

Re: Pulsar: Multi-crew Spaceship Exploration Game
YO
This game was pretty fuckin' rad. Need more goddamn crew members.
[youtube]fs9I8LABH74[/youtube]
To summarize the evening:
I joined a ship with some random kids to learn the basics while people were also downloading or getting into the game.
We got into combat, I was the engineer, and after a few failed attempts to eject the warp core and scuttle the ship (it doesn't work like that, apparently) we exploded anyway due to incompetence on the part of the rest of the crew. The only feedback the captain had for me was that he didn't like me flicking the lights on and off rapidly inside the ship.
K-64, shadow, and myself crewed a new ship and blew ourselves up a few times struggling to figure out how three people were supposed to do all this shit
We eventually settled on our roles and ran around the galaxy a bit, plundering a deserted outpost on a frozen planet, taking over a repair station, killing a bunch of robots, recovering some medical supplies, then getting killed again by a badass space ship.
9/10 experience would definitely play again with people as soon as possible

Re: Pulsar: Multi-crew Spaceship Exploration Game
If people are down for more Pulsar I'll stream that instead tonight.
I still have our save game where we've made some progress.
Last time we played the roles on the ship were:
k-64: Weapons Specialist
Palpatine: Science Officer
An0n3: Captain (pulling double-duty as pilot)
With an AI for Engineer. So we could really use an Engineer if everyone shows up again, but also a dedicated pilot aint bad.

I'm the only person I play this game with that is in MURRICA.
If you're buddy buddy with K-64 and Upgradecap they both play. I think PAS is getting it. Colonic has it.
Shadow is maybe American too? I think when we were talking about times at one point he also mentioned things vaguely EST-based.

We'll continue to trawl the galaxy for goodies, upgrades, and cash money then try again soon.
