Endless Sky

Endless Sky

Q&A with me.

Q: Do you have a favorite ship?
A: Honestly? I'm partial to the blackbird. It is fast, maneuverable, and lets you do early pirate raids. I think all of my characters have gone through it, and it is a really fun time. You need to run from anything large, but can take down a fighter or two. With 20 bunks and laser guns, its not too hard.

Q: Huh! I assumed you'd say the Bactrian. What's been your favorite plot so far?
A: I liked doing a few charity missions. I wish I could do more of those, and make human space a kind of nicer place. As the net worth of my main character is over a billion, it'd be nice to start up a foundation in-game. That being said, I'm glad that the default is that using violence is useless -- more pirate ships will always show up.

You cannot change the status quo with mere violence. I like that.

Q: .... ok... I meant, like, space combat missions, but ok. What do you want to happen next in the game?
A: Other than having a built-out Syndicate and Republic mission quest? I want to learn what's up with the Kor, and talk to one or two of them. To help the Wanderers deal with them, for sure.

Q: How much time have you sunk into this game"
A: too much. And you should to! The game is free, and available on Steam, linux, and a variety of other things. It is open source and in development. You can help!

Q: Why don't you help, then?
A: Trying!

  4. I'll give it another shot. There's so many "fly around space and upgrade your ship and do missions" games that this one got lost in there.

  5. Oh, there's a question in there: what makes it different from all the other games of that type? (Drox Operative, Rebel Galaxy, etc.)

  6. Bret Gillan I don't play a lot of video games, so my answer comes from the friend who got me hooked: fast pace , simple controls, in-depth universe and story. This is what makes it different, I am told!

    That it is free and runs well on my three year old laptop was a big point for me.

  7. Oh, Bret Gillan , also? Economics! This got me: You start a half million dollars in debt, with a ridiculous mortgage. Now you have to pay it off!
