Loving these guys !

I started with Templar Battleforce, felt in love, then played some Heroes of Steel but prefered TBF so i played it more, then went to Star Traders Frontiers.

Now waiting for Cyber Knights, and i feel it’s going to be awesome.

Big hope : it’s also going to be their first game with a "proper GUI" for PC, without these huge ugly big buttons on empty screen.

So far, it seems to suffer quite bad optimization, even for the GUI not being responding enough. Many names and characters are white-christian-sided, even if you interact with black african countries, or middle east, etc. Not a lot of options to set a game. Very bad informations delivered to player about what is doing what and how and why. Conditions and statistics are lackluster too.

Other than that, it’s a straight and major improvement over the first game, but the first game was very shallow, so "better" might not be enough. It’s still Early Access, but that’s 1C and Jujubee, both not really known to deliver well polished and balanced and enjoyable games. They take the niche "1/2 to 2/3 good"...

I have loved and hated this game for years.

I’ve never managed to accept the GUI, and it’s my main grip against the game.
Also i cannot like the main character controls/behavior/rendering.

Other than that, it’s quit awesome, but still not first in my heart.
StarMade is there (or the SM i played a few years ago anyway).

I think now Stormwork Build and Rescue is growing and a great challenger for "my top".

It seems to be again a game without any keyboard configuration, with WASD as default.

No qwerty, lefty, disabled, desk setting, and other good reasons to have key rebinding in any games, should be mandatory.

Free and open source flight sim 'FlightGear' has a brand new release
9 Nov 2020 at 5:24 pm UTC

On Manjaro, i installed it from the manager (building from AUR, it seems).

It took a while, like 15-20 minutes, and manager says all good.
So i suppose the data are DL and somewhere on my PC.

When i go to game/FlightGear, it says the folder doesn’t appear to be a valid location /usr/share/flightgear/data and i need to download a zip file.

Should i ? Where are the Gigaoctets lost ?

I played a little as a got a key,

First-person real-time combat
I really can’t truelly enjoy real time GRID BASE crawler, it makes every single combat awkward, and traps boring : find the rhythm, die until you do, go to next. I dislike "dancing combat", a lot.

That said, the background is nice, effects, sounds... General gameplay is fine too. Just this real time, quite killing the joy out of me. I’ll push forward a little more and see if i managed to set my mind to the pace, as other aspects of the game "fit" with my tastes.
