What do you think about the game?

gold version is supposed to have a much improved search system to make it easier to find the hull you want. Keep in mind that technology improves as the game goes on so the best hulls are only available later on in the game.

I got this game from a digital download from one of the software retailers. It has been pretty good so far. It brings back experiences I've had in the early days of gaming where it wasn't all about graphics, but a good game play.

There are so many things that would make the game better, especially the combat parts. Here is a brief list :

1. Need the ability to cycle through targets, instead of having to click on them. Trying to target missiles is a pain when they are tiny.

2. Need several auto commands to target stuff like missiles, or set your ship in defense mode when closing in or running away from a pirate/dominator.

3. Need the ability to target pirates when they are out of range too, so that when they move into range during the turn you can shoot at them.

4. Ships need to stop destroying loot. It is very frustrating when a transport flies by a second before I get there and destroy a nice piece of equipment. There should be no reason for them to do it. Space is huge, ships would just come across debris like that on purpose just to blow it up.

5. The ability to board a ship and send in marines would be neat. Like a mini turnbased tactical battle like x-com or a semi-real time one like fallout.

6. The system map are usually too small. Space is big, you can go off the edges, but theres almost not enough of it on the map.

7. The text adventures are great, and fires off some imagination, but some of these puzzles would benefit from graphics. A simple graphical puzzle would make these little adventures so much better.

Thats just some of the stuff that would make it more interesting. Plenty more ideas if you want them.

SR2 has got to be one of my favorite games. It's one of the little gems that people don't know about (I live in Canada) but I rank it very high on my list of single player games.

Things I love are the feeling of a multiplayer universe in a single player game, like competition with the other rangers and the creativity behind the mini games. Mini games with writing like that are rare in modern games.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the music for this game though. Some of the best songs ever from a game are hidden in space rangers. Please give my compliments to the musician responsible

Absolutely, the music is fantastic
