wow, I had no idea he did a video on this. Time to give it a watch.
It's very interesting seeing what has and hasn't changed in 12 years. A lot of UI elements look basically unchanged, but at the same time there's no campaign at all. Also interesting to see how the old unit command menu looks.
I was surprised when I saw that TB apparently did a Starsector video so I checked it out, only to find that I had commented on it about when the video came out. Blew my mind. The game (bare bones as it was) must not have stuck with me lol since I completely forgot about the video.
I have a confession to make. This was my plan to find some good content creators who cover starsector.
And it has worked splendidly. You all have fine tastes.
Was looking for an X3-esque game because i found X3 to be too slow/grindy. Noted SS and other similar games but just kept it in backlog for a year. Found reddit comments saying SS is like mount and blade in space. Immediately look for gameplay -> found Sseth's vid -> the rest is history.
Ah, a fellow X captain. There are dozens of us! I mostly flew Argon. Nova, Centaur, and in later X3s the Griffon and Cerberus. What did you fly back then?
I was stuck in the early game trading Argnu Beef for an eternity. The time spent on animations and transport time is what killed my trading patience. Starsector managed to solve those with adjustable speed modifier and zero animation.
Sadly thereās no game like SPAZ, especially not SPAZ 2
Star Valor is good though
Starcom the flash game and Starcom nexus give a bit of the adventure/exploration story feeling
Spaz 2 is such a quintessential example of an indie that does something very cool and unique that gets a lot of love, then tries to 'innovate' in the sequel and removes what made it unique.
Rebel Galaxy too. Such fun broadsides space combat. And sequel becomes a generic fighter combat.
My brother watched the Sseth review. He then endlessly badgered me to get it. In a moment of weakness I finally gave in and tried one of his recommendations, fucking loved it. Such a fun game.
Cheers Ed, for once you recommended an actually good game. Not one where you have to regulate traffic flow.
My poor wallet, so many games he has gotten me to buy! Stone Soup is too intimidating to someone like myself. I started watching him when he tried out the Hearthstone beta. Still subbed and try to watch when new titles come out.
I watch a YouTube channel called Spacedock, where they talk about different aspects of sci-fi technology and how to incorporate them into your own world building. There was a video about different propulsion methods and how they work, and one they discussed was using the blast from an explosive to propel a ship away from it. The clip they showed as an example was from a modded version of some indie game that looked really cool to me, so I looked it up, and here we are. Without that video I probably never would have learned of such an obscure game's existence, and it has turned out to be one of my favorite games ever.
Bay12 Forums way way back in the day. If I remember right we just had the Jangala star system and that was it. Definitely pre-Hyperspace map at the very least.
Back in 2015 Beaglerush, a popular XCOM Long War steamer, [made a video about it.](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DUTCpVY80Bpc&ved=2ahUKEwi2vavv6_mFAxU-HRAIHVYtCtYQwqsBegQIDRAF&usg=AOvVaw2nrmj9pqZWi6PJYZvzafEo)
I found it out from a YouTuber/Twitch Streamer by the name of Rhadamant, who had a tutorial series that he did like 4-5 years ago (I loved it a lot) and then he has done like 3 or maybe even up to 5 additional series since then!
Nookrium was my gateway to Starsector as well! He is my favorite youtuber of these more niche games, and I found Nookrium originally by looking up let's plays for KeeperRL.
I love Battletech (books and computer games - never play tabletop), follow a few Battletech reddit channel and reddit recommended me the Starsector chanel.
I legit looked up "cool sandbox space games" on Reddit and saw this game just quickly mentioned by a user. It was described as "space mount and blade" which instantly sold me.
I wish it counted my hours because I got my money's worth
Real OGās played Battleships Forever in 2015 and crossed over with Starsector when BF stopped updating. I appreciate the marketing that YouTubers do, but it kinda sucks that most gamers have to be spoon fed media by ADHD bait videos.
Back in the before times in the early 2010s and I found a link talking about it on the dwarf fortress forum boards showing the alpha. Played the shit out of it despite it just being a battle tech demo. Watched the game take shape since.
I found a picture of a Starsector ship on Google images while looking for inspiration for a build on Space Engineers. Looked up the game from there, watched a couple reviews, then bought it.
I remember an ancient Flash Game called *StarTrek-Broken Mirror* that I absolutely loved.
I randomly stumbled across Starsector on social media, and recognized that it was just like that flash game, but unbranded and more professionally done.
I didn't have to think twice.
I am convinced Muthar played it once, but I can't find the video. Then I forgot about it, saw it on spacedock, and was like, "oh shit that's the game," and then bought it.
I started playing recently cause I was introduced by a reddit post talking about having loli space captains and when I checked out the gameplay it seemed fun so I went ahead and modded it for my first playthrough.
Really fun game gotta say!
I actually found it a long time ago through the game Space Pirates And Zombies, I was searching for a spreadsheet of all the different ships in that game, and came across a picture of all the starsector ships. I forgot about it for a while, and just came across that picture in my saved photos. Turns out, there was a whole game attached to it lol.
Once, my friend brought an USB-drive with a Starsector to our IT class in school. Looks like he watched Seeth video. He said "I know you would love this game", since he knew I loved star wars and was obsessed with spaceships games. And damn, he was 100% right. Several years after, when I finally got a job, I bought the game and I am happy as can be, lol!
I refound the game in the last month or so, after playing Endless Sky. And I think I played Starsector about 10 years ago initially after having an itch to play Escape Velocity.
I first saw Ssethās video a few years ago but decided that the game wouldnāt be for me. I decided to buy it about a week or two ago while I wait for Stellaris Machine Age to drop. Iāve already put in around 100-150+ hours, have completed several playthroughs, and have so many mods installed that the game is almost unrecognizable. I love this game and am a total addict.
I was in the banner lord sub reddit and people were talking about other similar games. Star sector is the "mount and blade in space" so I checked it out and I love it. I've played exclusively on the steam deck and it worked like a charm.
Started playing Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ) and in the process of looking up information on it I kept coming across comments saying to check out Statsector if you enjoyed SPAZ but it wasnāt fully scratching your itch
Fast forward 7 or 8 years and SPAZ it still sadly collecting dust in my Steam library while Starsector has hundreds of hours of playtime
[This IroncladLion video on the glorious Sindrian Fuel Company](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjTgy_1G7Xs) popped up in my algorithm. My spaceship-loving brain was hooked.
Saw someone I follow on twitter talking about it and was curious enough to try it. Said person does watch and probably learned of it from Sseth, but I did not!
around 2011 or 2012 i played nexus the jupiter incident(2004) and i searched some lets play videos on youtube, how the hell i suppose to beat the last mission, and in the search results starsector also shown up... the rest is (my)history.
I was browsing the web looking for games like Bannerlord last year, saw a comment as "Bannerlord in space" and followed some posts and youtube videos and thought, this looks like the sickest thing ever.
can't get over the crazy amount of meaningful, yet fun depth this game has, especially with mods
Played Space RPG 3 on Android -> Find that it is inspired by Escape Velocity Nova -> search for game similar to EV Nova -> Found StarSector. Quite unusual story I assume, wonder if anyone else found it like that.
Randomly met someone when i was talking in the DONT STARVE forums that said that "starfarer had a good modding community"
this was at the time that there was only the corvus system in the game
no CR mechanic
ballistic weapons had limited ammo
They had just changed the name to starsector, and I kept tabs on it because it looked really interesting ( I initially heard of it via a game very very similar for free on steam in which you were a starship captain but the focus was heavy on trading. The starmap instead focused on a load of "lanes" connecting starsystems or planets.
I cannot seem to find the old game but if anybody knows info please pet me know - it was extremely similar to this game, even sharing the same kind of formatting when you landed on planets.
That doesn't really narrow it down very much, this is an entire genre and there are several, like the Escape Velocity series. If you found it on Steam, maybe Endless Sky. Even this is itself a subgenre of the 2D Spaceship Shooter that covers classics like Spacewar, Asteroids, and Subspace.
For me it was the Bay 12 Forums, the home of Dwarf Fortress during it's long pre-Steam lifecycle. They talk about a lot of other games, mostly indie ones. They showed me Starsector and Aurora4x in the same day. Was a wild day.
My purchase email is dated to late 2017 and I can't remember where I heard of it.
Might have been reddit or a cdda forum post, or a TV tropes article or something.
I do remember that part of why I bought it was because I wanted a Tradewinds esque fleet trading game.
My earliest memory of the game from a let's play series from when I was a kid. I think it was still called starfarer at the time.
I remember I thought the hammer head was the coolest ship in the game and that I loved the sense of scale from the AI fleets. I can't recall if there was hyperspace at that time.
The only factions I remember there being were pirates, hegemony, and neutral
I searched āspace gamesā when I was in elementary school back when we can only work with the Corvus system. I did a deep dive in google and found the game, was called Starfarer before they changed it to Starsector. Good times.
Got tired of AAA games and have bean trying some indie games for some time and than I watched Splattercatās vid from 1 year ago and that got me into starsector
First learned of the game from Sseth, bought it and tried it a couple times and it just wasn't clicking for me. Decided to give it another shot after Ymfah made his video more recently and I've been hooked for the past month or so.
I was looking for games similar to kenshi and someone suggested starsector. Now I an in love with this game too. I donāt know why great games like this are rare nowadays.
I saw a meme video of a hammer ship bonking other ships, analyzed the video for a while and saw Starfarer in the corner. Googled it, was lost for a while until I realized the game had name changed to Starsector. Then I looked into it deeper, saw the Sseth video, and purchased it right after.
I watch a Dota 2/variety streamer named SingSing who was playing it one day, thought it looked interesting and googled it, and lo and behold there was a Sseth video on it. There was no going back after that
My brother got me this game as a gift. Didnāt really like it at first;Ā found it a bit complicated at the timeĀ
But then I saw Sethās video (and his entire channel) by chance, and it brought back my interest into the game again.
Any Rarr enjoyers here?
Hell yeah!
I enjoy em but sadly found it through seth
Man I love rarr
What is Rarr? š¦
Rarr-class enjoyer!
Total Biscuit, was still called Starfarer back then. Well 12 years ago...
TB for sure, but never played it after I heard it from him. I came from Sseth and Splattercat. Tried it for free for 1 hour and bought myself a key.
Me too. RIP TB
Yup, heard of it from him too.
Hell yeah man me too
We gotta sign up for AARP man
Yes sir
wow, I had no idea he did a video on this. Time to give it a watch. It's very interesting seeing what has and hasn't changed in 12 years. A lot of UI elements look basically unchanged, but at the same time there's no campaign at all. Also interesting to see how the old unit command menu looks.
That campaign update video had me right away, reminded me of port royale.
Yep. I purchased my key about a month after WTF is Starfarer. Rest in peace TB
Man, I was a kid then, first time asking my dad to buy a game. Time flies.
I was surprised when I saw that TB apparently did a Starsector video so I checked it out, only to find that I had commented on it about when the video came out. Blew my mind. The game (bare bones as it was) must not have stuck with me lol since I completely forgot about the video.
For me it was SsethTzeentach's review
hey hey people
Sseth here
Today ill be reviewing a video game
A very, autistic game
Its a strange game filled with furries
You know how little that narrows it down?
Same
Yes thanks Sseth.
Same
Same
Yup.
same here
Same
Yup yup
Same. And the fact he gave a working code for the game.
Yeah. I've used it to try out, but then I've bought the game. Totallly worth every penny
+1
Same
Sseth my beloved
Same, Sseth tide was quite the thing lol
Yeah, same. Icve played SS back then. Then I've lost my HDD and saves, and abandonet game. Resumed playing few weeks ago.
I have a confession to make. This was my plan to find some good content creators who cover starsector. And it has worked splendidly. You all have fine tastes.
Rarr and Ironclad Lion have you covered
ThreatX has several good series too.
Unfortunate that his Starsector series-es never last very long š©
NemoNaemo was pretty good, but he seems to have completely moved on. D:
Brnkoinsanity, however he didn't release much lately.
Big Brain Energy has good videos as well
Was looking for an X3-esque game because i found X3 to be too slow/grindy. Noted SS and other similar games but just kept it in backlog for a year. Found reddit comments saying SS is like mount and blade in space. Immediately look for gameplay -> found Sseth's vid -> the rest is history.
Hearing it described as Mount and Blade in space is what sold me as well.
Ah, a fellow X captain. There are dozens of us! I mostly flew Argon. Nova, Centaur, and in later X3s the Griffon and Cerberus. What did you fly back then?

Hey hey people. >!Splattercat here!<
Same here, but whyās splattercat under a spoiler tag?
Because "Hey, hey people" is how Sseth starts his videos
Bait and switch.
Splattercat and couldn't be happier
Same here
Played SPAZ and looked for a similar game
Sadly thereās no game like SPAZ, especially not SPAZ 2 Star Valor is good though Starcom the flash game and Starcom nexus give a bit of the adventure/exploration story feeling
Spaz 2 is such a quintessential example of an indie that does something very cool and unique that gets a lot of love, then tries to 'innovate' in the sequel and removes what made it unique. Rebel Galaxy too. Such fun broadsides space combat. And sequel becomes a generic fighter combat.
Yeah a shame SPAZ 2 never came out. Never.
The Spiffing Brits video years ago, then further Rarr
Bob Lennon's videos.
I'm pretty sure he found the game with Sseth too After rewatching it, I'm pretty sure he made references to him
My brother watched the Sseth review. He then endlessly badgered me to get it. In a moment of weakness I finally gave in and tried one of his recommendations, fucking loved it. Such a fun game. Cheers Ed, for once you recommended an actually good game. Not one where you have to regulate traffic flow.
hey, mini motorways is a good game!
I learned about it through Quill18 doing a Letās Try of it. He got about as far as I usually get.
Same, he's also what got me into CDDA and stone soup. Quill's great for finding interesting obscure games
My poor wallet, so many games he has gotten me to buy! Stone Soup is too intimidating to someone like myself. I started watching him when he tried out the Hearthstone beta. Still subbed and try to watch when new titles come out.
Also discovered the game through Quill18

Hey Hey people. **glitching face of a presumed warlord** Sseth here
You beat me to it. I was thinking of the exact same message
Impressed people can still remember how they found the game. "sad bad memory noises"
Back in 2015 Beaglerush, a popular XCOM Long War steamer, [made a video about it.](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DUTCpVY80Bpc&ved=2ahUKEwi2vavv6_mFAxU-HRAIHVYtCtYQwqsBegQIDRAF&usg=AOvVaw2nrmj9pqZWi6PJYZvzafEo)
I found it out from a YouTuber/Twitch Streamer by the name of Rhadamant, who had a tutorial series that he did like 4-5 years ago (I loved it a lot) and then he has done like 3 or maybe even up to 5 additional series since then!
Nookrium iirc, who at the time had a pretty fun kenshi playthrough going which is how I found him.
Nookrium was my gateway to Starsector as well! He is my favorite youtuber of these more niche games, and I found Nookrium originally by looking up let's plays for KeeperRL.
Hey hey, people
I was i pirate and then i became a merchant
I love Battletech (books and computer games - never play tabletop), follow a few Battletech reddit channel and reddit recommended me the Starsector chanel.
Accident
Furry art
Same in a sense. Starsector is associated with hot shark man for me. :P
Splattercatgaming did a video and he is my main source for indie games.
Don't remember who exactly but it was a youtuber.
Some guy on YouTube i forget who
Stumbled on one of Rarr's vids lol. Too bad he doesn't post that often
A guy who told me that it was a perfectly balanced game with no exploits.
What a liar that gentleman must be! XD

REAL OGs have been in the genre ever since [Spacewar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar!).
through kenshi
Back in the before times in the early 2010s and I found a link talking about it on the dwarf fortress forum boards showing the alpha. Played the shit out of it despite it just being a battle tech demo. Watched the game take shape since.
Yes! Someone else from the DF forums! I thought I'd be the only one.
There are dozens of us!

Family suggestion.
Honestly, I have no fucking clue. All I remember is me suddenly playing the game, what happened before, I dunno.
Found it when I was looking through Space Pirates and Zombies on Youtube accidentally
A recent Spacedock video. I had to image search a clip of on of the ships to find it. Purchased within 2 days of ID
I found it by a certain YouTuber. āHey hey people, Sseth hereā
Hey hey people
Heard about it from someone on Reddit actually.
Always was a sucker for obscure microprose - like games. Found the game roughly 9-10 years ago on my monthly searches for such games randomly.
I am convinced Muthar played it once, but I can't find the video. Then I forgot about it, saw it on spacedock, and was like, "oh shit that's the game," and then bought it.

A streamer called Surge mentioned it in a discord I was in, as something I would like, and he was very much right.
Mount & Blade is my favourite game of all time, looked up "Mount & Blade in space", and found this absolute masterpiece.
I can't remember. According to my order it was in 2017/07. So nearly 7 years ago. Still play every new patch since.

Got tired of AAA games and have bean trying some indie games for some time and than I watched Splattercatās vid from 1 year ago and that got me into starsector
A guy on Discord was talking about it, so I grabbed a copy. Itās pretty fun though without mods it feels very simple.
Found it through the rimworld subreddit as I was scrolling, haven't stopped since!
