What universe you want to see in an X-like game?

Post by Warnoise » Mon, 28. Jan 19, 03:19

So after playing Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2, the first thing that hit me are how beautiful and varied the ship designs are. Then it came to my mind "Imagine if we had an X game but in the universe of warhammer 40K!" Just imagining myself flying my little fury interceptor next an Emperor class or an Apocalypse class battleship makes me drool.

I also think Endless space universe would make a beautiful X-like game.

What universe you guys think would be a dream come true if they got their own X-like game?

As I'm currently playing bfg 2 aswell I get your point but I would say this is a script and modding post ;)

There is however an issue with 40k. A cap ship in x is about a 20th the size of an emperor class battleship. Without seta it wouldn't be fun getting around anywhere.

I dont think it's going to happen as much as I'd like to see it.
I used to list PC parts here, but "the best" will suffice!

No other universe than the X-universe with Split, Teladi, Xenon, etc etc.

There's a reason why i keep repeating that X3TC is easily on the top5 list of the best and most entertaining games i've ever played (And i've played alot).
Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most.

also to be honest if bfg2 wasnt a 40k game i probably wouldnt rate it as high, its actually the cinematics that keep me interested as i like to see 40k in moving pictures.

I could totally go without all those cheezy races in an X-like game. They might have worked for a small sci-fi game done in the 90s and the technical/writing limitation back then, but the world-building is too stereotypical.
"Nice-funny species","materialistic Ferengi type species", "mean evil species", "Battlestar-Galactica former humanmade terraformer species (Cylon)" ....

Would by good if they do an "Andromeda" type restart, and jump a larger group of Argon/Terran to some other part of the galaxy. Meeting totally new species, and letting the franchise allow a reset in world-building.

A universe with more types of ships and classes than there were in X3AP, an endless and ever-expanding minecraft-style universe, with diplomacies changing for each faction and wars ending with the conquest of territories by one or other. This is how I hope to see this game one day.

Not unless it' a total conversion mod like the Babylon 5 mod for X3TC. Otherwise yeah I tend to not touch ship mods that introduce other ships from other universes not unless they are modified to balance in the X-universe or made to look like they belong like what Cadius did with the ship pack mod.
