Space Voyager Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Recently I "discovered" a game called "Sword of the stars" - SotS. At first I was turned off the game becouse of the overly dramatic name and the ship design that isn't really my taste (I am spoiled by Nexus: The Jupiter incident, what can you do) but the more I read about it the more interested I became. It seems to be something like TW:MoO (Total War:Master...). You have the grand strategy and the battles. Anyway, the links for the interested; SotS forum SotS Wiki (great info dump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sounds interesting, I'll wait for the demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Oh, yeah, perhaps I should mention - the game will be out on June 1st. This year. The developers promised no delays, it may even be sooner (but we're used to promises, right?!) A great description of the game: https://www.kerberos-productions.com/forum/...topic.php?t=294 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 We are offered review copies from Lighthouse Interactive (their publisher) now and then, so maybe someone here will write a review when the game is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 How do I apply? I can write fo(u)r hours about the games I like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 How do I apply? I can write fo(u)r hours about the games I like...Only staff here gets access to review copies. Best way to become staff is to stay active in the forums and help out with content . That being said, I have no idea if we'll get access to a review copy of SotS, and when that will be if so.

Space Voyager Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Meh, I don't like the extra work that comes with staff position... If you guys do get the game and are too busy to do the review... J/k, take the time to play the game, it really seems to be a little known gem. I found it by accident. Usually I track a game I know might be worth buying long before it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hehe, guess we are two trackers then . Sometimes I regret the position I'm in with this site. I know more than I want about most games I look forwards to. Would be nice to be surprised once in a while again, don't you think? I remember when I played Deus Ex or TFTD for the first time without ever having heard of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 TRUE, true... I'll have to unhook myself from the internet for a few years, than buy a new comp. and enter the game store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 TRUE, true... I'll have to unhook myself from the internet for a few years, than buy a new comp. and enter the game store. Now THAT would be neat! Then again, giving up Internet would be HARD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Just change over to the "Internet 2"... there's very little on it at the moment since only a few universities are signed up to it... that means you'll be out of the loop for any game's related stuff until it's opened up to the rest of the world in probably 5 or 6 years time. On the plus side you get to look forward to average access speeds of over 1Gb/s and extreamly low ping times for multiplayer games.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azrael Strife Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 More on it...Yeah, read that last night, but Internet2 is not a network, it's a non-profit consortium which develops and deploys advanced network applications and technologies, mostly for high-speed data transfer.The network they did create is called Abilene Network.

Space Voyager Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Now now, I seem to have your attention with this game, he he he! Nice to see that some people also joined the SotS forums. Really, after Oblivion came out this is the only game (in near future) that I'm actually waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 No need for posting every developer diary - I'll post a link to the dev thread in SotS forum instead. Here you can find links to all the dev diaries (currently 6 of them). SotS developer diaries EDIT: In SotS you can make the same ship type, same weapon loadout and different names. Perfect for creating "favourite ship(s)". You know, ships to look after more carefully. You can bet your arse you're going to hear more about a command cruiser Space Voyager leading a victorious fleet across the galaxy! If you'll be good to me, there's a position reserved for Slaughter class dreadnaught, Baby arm point-defense cruiser etc.. EDIT2: Nah, all my name-bearing ships will be command ships, definitely. Each commanding their own fleet. Hell yeah! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Since the link hasn't been added in the first post of the thread linked above, I'm linking this one extra. Developer diary no. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 The game will be late... It's coming out in August in USA. Since I found out that in Europe it would come out in August anyway I must say I couldn't care less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby arm Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Space Voyager, I just put up a bunch of SotS pics in our gallery. The first 12 I took yesterday. The last 4 are just shots I grabbed from the Kerberos site to use in the interview (so ignore them since they look better than mine ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Phenomenal pics... Thank you for posting the link here, it's getting harder and harder to track all the interesting info on SotS - which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
