Pulsar Lost Colony 2.0?

[Shiro]

From the description, base concept (control various functions of multicrew starship to explore galaxy) seems the same. From what I can tell from a first glance, difference being that Pulsar is more arcadey while this new game goes for realism and probably scale. Is that correct? Are there people who played both games?

[DanGovier]

That's roughly correct yes. We're focusing on realistic simulation and real science, with gameplay driven by exploration activity. Our ships are fully simulated, right down to individual wires, and we've got a full 1:1 galaxy. I've only had a brief experience with Pulsar, but at face value I would also say we're going to have a lot less combat by comparison.

I hope there’s a way to turn of certain things to allow me to just roam and explore without being attacked by aliens..I’m more into the simulator then a game.

I stopped playing pulsar for the reason that the infected kept growing, if they just left it where it was some space to avoid and if you want to you can go clear them out for a while til they came back, i would of kept playing (altho, i played it soloplay mode, i dont have a mic so i cant / wont do online)

I just want to say, you don't need a mic for MP here. There's a chat box in game for text :)

My friends and I really enjoyed the concept of Pulsar, but did find the combat over done and would have preferred some more exploration/non combat missions. So this looks very promising, thank you! :)

That feature is optional now! Just check the campaign settings before making game. Excited for this since I also enjoyed Pulsar.

Im in the same boat as you. I prefer the exploration aspect over combat.
