The famous Jaques Station
The nebula is in sight!
5 years later: Ooh, preorders for episode 2 are open!!
Fun fact: If you take the year, add two, you'll get the current planned release date for sq42
This isn't dependent on the current year
I've got some bad news...
If it doesn't it will if you hit it hard enough
I don't think it's a scam but I agree with some of these points, cig can't be trusted with a deadline, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment if you think something is being released on time.
They have some obvious cash grabs, like the atls, which takes the tedium out of the newly tedious cargo update. But that purchase isn't necessary and was made possible to buy (for very cheap) with in game money in the patch that released yesterday.
I have spent £40 on this game. That is £30 cheaper than some AAA games, about as buggy, and a lot more fun.
I was playing the game/tech demo yesterday. It seems to be there and I was having a lot of fun.
Looks like your good. It doesn't say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon's
(This may just be because the store page is incomplete)
I haven't played rise of nations but from your description, you might like the core paradox games (crusader kings -> europa universallis-> victoria -> hearts of iron) despite their shitty dlc model. Currently, eu4 is on sale with all its dlc for ~£40, dlc isn't very necessary for the other games. They are more grand strategy than 4x. You can use mods to convert saves and carry your campaign through the games. All together, they can cover all of human history (European, North African and West Asian medieval history and then the rest of the world from 1444 onwards). If what you like about rts is the unit micromanagement, you might want to go with victoria 2 rather than victoria 3, you will need victoria 2 dlc and it is a lot older.
If you want a 4x rts, stellaris is very good, but it isn't based on human history.
The green gas giant is in Bleia Dryiae HF-W b35-1
The rest of the pictures are from the system Traikoa FL-P e5-4
This is a picture of the gas giant in "Thor's Eye"
This picture can be seen anywhere in the empty space between the arms of the galaxy if you look towards the centre:
This is the main star in the Thor's Eye system (aspx for scale):
I didn't get a good picture of the black hole in thor's eye but I'm traveling to another tomorrow!
The picture has a neutron star with a ring around it 12ls in radius.
I am following this route to Colonia: https://www.edsm.net/en_GB/galactic-routes/show/id/1700/name/Sightseeing+From+The+Bubble+To+Colonia
Today they announced that it was cut down to 5 and they will slowly work their way back up to 100 after launch (whenever that is)
