Fun game, 2D (apart from planetary combat) space shippy game. Despite looking a bit shite it is rather deep and engaging. Some alien baddies are invading, universe goes on around you unscripted, planets get invaded, space battles, people go around trading, pirates go around pirating, supply/demand economy model. Quite free form, you can follow sort of missions, or do your own thing, and there's a fair bit you can do. Also adds in a few other genres into the mix including RTS, Arcade Shooter, apparantly text adventure and a few more. I've only played for a hour and despite my initial reaction of 'errr, wtf' I'm quite enjoying the ride. :markus:

From the site:

"The concept of the freedom of choice, which was a characteristic feature of the first release, was not only kept in Space Rangers 2 - it has even been taken much further. The game does not limit you with certain scenario frames, but rather gives you a possibility to influence its course. With that - the game world (that has become much bigger compared to the first game) is living and developing according to its own laws, with something constantly happening in it: systems are being conquered and liberated, pirates are looting civil ships, governments are being overthrown on different planets, and scientists are making new discovering.

In "Space Rangers 2" the player will also have a possibility to prove his superiority not only in the space, but on the planets as well. Planetary battles are a 3-D real-time strategy. Using the firepower of the combat robots, the player will have to stand up to the Dominators - the intelligent war machines that know no mercy."


Features:

• "Space Rangers 2: Rise of The Dominators; (hereinafter - SR2) represents a unique combination of a multitude of completely different gaming genres. The romanticism of space traveling and adventurism, the tactics of planetary fights and the strategy of liberating the star systems invaded by the enemy - you name it. Even the fans of arcade battling and text quests will have something to dig into with this game. It is hard to imagine a game that would be more diverse. SR2 is simply unique!

• Everything is interconnected in the SR2 universe - it is a huge and unbelievably interesting world, that can live and evolve by itself, without your interference! It is more than 60 star systems, with a total of 250+ planets and stations, populated by intelligent beings as well as a multitude of other space facilities, that you can interact with in the process of the game.

• Aside from yourself there are hundreds of other ships in SR2 piloted by computer pilots. They roam from one system to another, trade, fight, buy new equipment and armament - in short, they are taking care of their own business, completely independent of the player. They can be civil and military ships, pirate raiders and dominator invaders, as well as over 50 other rangers, who are your direct competitors in liberating the Galaxy from the looming menace.

• You can choose which of the 5 different races, populating the Galaxy, you are going to represent, and use the unique capabilities of this or that race to achieve your goals...

• It is also possible to simply live in the SR2 world! You are free to do whatever you want: complete quests, trade, participate in planetary battles, fight the Dominators - or be a pirate and become a menace to the Coalition.

• Some of the players may enjoy being promoted up the ranking scale for killed enemy ships, while others will find it more exciting to collect micromodules and gaining experience, that allows the player to improve his 6 basic pilot skills.

• It is possible to complete the game in several different ways: you can hunt down and destroy the Dominator bosses, or else you could try to make a deal with them. Which is why the SR2 world would appeal to both those who prefer hard-line measures and convinced pacifists too.

• We have implemented a unique dialogue system. All ships can communicate with each other: advising on lucrative trading routes, extorting "road tolls", asking for help, offering military alliances or simply trading with each other.

• The vast number of standard equipment types and artifacts with unique properties will allow you to to make your ship equipment as diverse as possible.

• The game features 15 weapon types, not counting modifications and upgrades, which the player can use in the tactical or ?arcade battles.

• The pep of SR2 would rightfully be the text quests, that the player will receive on different planets all throughout the game. A total of 22 thrilling text quests, from fairly easy to completely brain-wrecking ones, completing which the player will not only be able to obtain valuable artifacts, micromodules, and Dominator-combating software, but - most importantly - it's sheer fun.

• A total of 20 excellent musical themes will allow you to totally dive into the atmospheric world of the game.

• And lots, and lots more!...

• Entirely new graphics: navigation panel, menu, ships, uninhabited planet backgrounds, and equipment.

• planetary battles are now in full 3D! A total of 18 planetary maps with their own flora and fauna.

• Research of uninhabited planets with the help of probes.

• Two new space station types: medical bases and business centers.

• A possibility to buy any ship available in the Coalition: pirate, civil or military.

• Each hull, depending on the series is equipped with a certain number of slots for equipment and boost support.

• Weapons are broken into several different categories: fragmenting, power-weapons, and missiles.

• flexible equipment upgrade system using the micromodules.

• 12 foreign planet illnesses which your character can catch and 12 stimulators for temporary improvement of your character skills.

• The player can now also finance the construction of new space stations.

• Instead of the points in the ranger rating, we have introduced an experience gaining system, which is being increased through the achievements of the player.

• Ordering military operations and the possibility to participate in those together with the military base.

• The hangar has also received a complete facelift. Now you have a possibility to scan ships, located on the same planet with the player.

• The navigation system has been modified to use the common double click for action.

• Over 90 character avatars.

• The prices for goods can be obtained without landing on a planet.

• The Galaxy map has 3 new sectors.

• Dynamic video trailers creating a unique atmosphere of a Ranger world.

• The entire world of SR2 has become bigger and more comfortable to live in.

I must have been about 12 and I had a demo of it. Played it to death but never got the full thing. If I ever saw it anywhere I'd snatch it up immediately. Actualy I think it was a demo of Pax Imperia 2 that I played.
