And I have to say it was sometimes kind of funny to see these ships start to burn and trail smoke but you still couldn't see the ship, just the fire.
#WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER ORIONS SKIN#
Although I did encounter a few bugs where sometimes a ship skin would not properly load (giving an invisible enemy you could target with the keyboard but never see to click on) these were not common enough to be a large problem. The graphics in Starfury are very well done. And then right back down as you shell the cash out for the newer, fancier, but much more powerful (and expensive) toys the merchants have found to sell you. By the point where you can get these kills, your skill levels will be high enough that your enemies will start dropping some valuable equipment when they die, and when you sell that back to spacedocks your credit balance will start to go up rather fast. And that's where the real money comes from. As you develop your ship into the baddest fighting ship to hit the space lanes in the last few decades, you will soon be able to fight your enemies and destroy their ships. Considering the cost of some of the later equipment, that isn't actually a whole lot, but missions are just where you start. Missons will vary in value but if you pick them carefully you can accomplish three cargo missions well within the deadline and rack in about 20,000 credits at a pop. In search of either building your fortune or following the story arc, you will want to take missions of various sorts. You can then go take a few more missions (or haul around cargo) to make money until you feel your ship (and/or fighting skills) are up to spec for what's coming. How kind!Īnd if you don't feel ready to proceed with the mission (or you're coming back to a save point after getting trounced), it's quite nice that at any point you can 'put the story arc on pause' by simply not reporting in to your contact. Nobody else picks it up, they leave it all for you. Because which enemies you kill has an impact on your relations with the various factions, in theory you should be able to get the Xiati and Fazrah to eventually adopt you as one of their allies.ĭestroyed ships usually leave behind cargo you can pick up and sell for profit. Slaughter of TCN forces in an attempt to get on the good side of the Terran Empire's foes. You can turn pirate, or mercenary, or even become a traitor to your people and begin a wholesale You can simply pick up your starting ship and head out in search of adventure, fame, fortune, and a bigger and better ship. While you might be unable to get a structured mission setup by abandoning the main story arc, you are never forced to follow that arc. Of course, you aren't forced into playing that role. Can't have an RPG without a hero, and you've been drafted to fill that role.
#WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER ORIONS SERIES#
You play a Terran Confederation Navy captain who has to take care of a series of related problems that have cropped up and eventually become the major player in saving the entire Terran Empire. The basic structure of the game is wrapped around a series of three campaigns that tell a story based in the ideas of the Space Empires universe. When you have beaten the first campaign you can proceed immediately to the next, carring over your experience level and ship and equipment and money, which makes those campaigns significantly easier than starting them raw. And you are only given a choice of starting ship if you start a game directly in the second or third campaigns. You simply load the game, pick the campaign you want to play, possibly select the model of ship you want to fly, give your ship and your character a name, and select a difficulty level. Getting started in Starfury was extremely easy. As I did like the old Privateer game that does color my outlook slightly, but overall Starfury is still a very good game in it's own right. For those of you who remember the old Wing Commander: Privateer game, you will find Starfury to be very similar in many ways. Unlike the traditional games of the Space Empires universe, however, this game is set in the Space Empires universe but is more of an RPG than a strategy game. Space Empires: Starfury is no exception to this rule. Space Empires, as many know, is one of the most popular and best followed games in the genre, in part because of just how much you can do with it via mods.
