Capital Ship Simulator

anothername · Post by **anothername** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 5:29 pm

Hello

by lucky (I hope

) accident I stumbled over these forums. I read trough the general descriptions of the SW3D games but was not able to make out which of them might be the best if you're into BIG SHIPS. I have tried some of the rare games containing the possibility of flying something else than.. uhm... the usual small stuff with the last two being X2 and BS Millenium (or something like that). I really liked the capital ship feeling in X2, but disliked to be forced in the shortys so long. In BS I really did not had the feeling of flying (after I managed to get the clunky thing to move) a big destroyer... or even something big.

So my question. Which of the SW3d (or others if allowed) games would be the best one for commanding a capital ship?

hello anothername, None at this time. welcome to the forum and the Sim. You can build up to a big civie or military ship but not a carrier or cap ship:)

Welcome to the forum anothername...."Evochron Legends is an awesome space flight sim" it is by far the most realistic in space flight....it does not have any capital ships to fly but you can't go wrong if you buy it. I hope to see you in MP

Have blasted stuff out of the space since WC1 but after some time the 'pit gave a bit of a claustrophobic feel.

I mark it as my next game when I hunger for some dogfights, since screens, description and community really seems to be cool. But right now I hunger for a bridge, and its insanly hard to get one oO

Good luck in your search, anothername! Evochron Legends is not for everyone at every time. When you do decide to return, know that you will be welcomed with open arms.

I would suggest some capital ship simulators, but I am new to the genre and do not know many games. Hopefully someone here can suggest something. If not, good luck and let us know what you find. I know there have been many who have come to these forums looking for a capital ship simulator, and there will probably be many more to come.

The closest I have come to controlling a capital ship is trying to push one into a black hole. LOL

:P:P:P:P

I made one land on Venus once, but it didn't last very long.

:(:(

I haven't had a more satisfying experience flying capital ships than in X2. Sorry.

I don't like to fly with cap ships, just my choice of course...

Cap ships? Freelancer sounds like the game for you. With mods like Discovery or Crossfire (crossfire being 1.4GB, 3 times the size of the game itself) you can fly anything from a light agile fighter, to heavy bombers and gunships, to massive battleships, and carriers.

The games from 3000AD too. If you pick Universal Combat you'll find yourself managing a cap ship in no time.
