Ready to spend even more dozens of hours than previous Siralim games. Poor poor me.

Drox 2 is in "alpha", while Soldak usually release "beta".

What it means is in its current state, Drox 2 is more a Drox 1.5 and will evolve further to a proper Drox 2 as time goes. It’s already slightly more pretty, or less ugly, and the expansion from Drox 1 is included already. Also the pace is smoother. Ship flies faster and better. I played some Drox 1 these days to feel how the sequel will differ, and, well, it does.

Drox 1 is my favosite Soldak game so far, so i’m just waiting a "better Drox" to play again.

Quoting: razing32I tried that out a bit when it was free.
How is it now if you still (actively play) ?
Does it have good communit , pve ? Is it grindy ?

I play it from time to time since 2014.
Community is present, not big but enough to make contacts and friends.
It’s not your average PvE MMOG, it’s not about killing XX creatures to level up.
It’s very unique, all based around reputation and NPC personal quests to access new options.
Grind can be real too, but in a good way i feel.
A lot of exploration, both in landscape and in game’s mechanics.
No "!" and "?" to guide you, you have to search, think and ask other players.
The latest update brings breeding to the pet system.
A couple months ago the Fea were added as playable race, with here again, very unique approach.
Several animal forms to chose from (i have a Spider, a Bat and a "normal guy").
Huge amount of crafting and other complexe things to do to spend your time when you are not hunting.

So far in my opinion the best "real MMOG" on Linux is Project Gorgon, but the Yellow King seems to be well worthy of my attention as well.

The "news" may be annoying, but something that bothers me more is the "your friend XXX has a new achievement" "XXX now owns ZZZ game" etc. I don’t care about that part at all. I want only game related news posted by the team... And i can’t find any option to remove it.

I feel 0AD is still missing some important tools, unless i missed them.

Most importantly, full keyboard rebinding, and formation movements : you can select different behavior and shape for the group, but moving around is uneasy, like, you can’t draw an arrow on the ground to set direction they are facing.

Also, i find the perf mid-game to drop quite a lot, and with 50+ units on screen, it’s not great. Could be my computer, but for similar situation, i have better perf with SupCom or Zero-K.

Anyway, i played a new skirmish yesterday, and it still was a nice experience.

Quoting: AvikarrThis game is amazing! Are there more high-quality opensource games like this (not specifically RTS, any genre will do)?

Another RTS i’m playing from time to time is Zero-K.
On Steam you won’t see Linux, but if you ask on the Discord they grant a beta key.
Out of Steam you can download and play the Linux version.
