The Ten Most Impressive DIY-Projects of the Avorion Community

The Ten Most Impressive DIY-Projects of the Avorion Community

, , 0

The successful space game Avorion (by German indie team Boxelware) is still in Early Access on Steam.  However, it has already gathered an impressive following among core gamers. The community especially loves the ship building aspect of the game – so they decided to give a shoutout to ten of the most impressive DIY-projects of the Avorion players: “New ships for all The German User “Mächtiger Brankor” presents his new large ships, which consist of more than 8.000 blocks.

A few years back, three screenwriters had the idea to make their own sci-fi space series… but they couldn’t. Sci-fi premises are usually expensive, and anything they put together would be low-budget. Then they got the idea to film the entire series from the perspective of a camera in the ship’s computer… and Personal Space was born. Personal Space features and is dedicated to the memory of Richard Hatch, best known for Battlestar Galactica. Hatch passed away in February 2017, shortly after his scenes were filmed. Personal Space will be his last appearance. Official synopsis: The series is a sci-fi dramedy that takes place in an alternate timeline where the American space program has been decades ahead of actual history. Generation ship Overture was launched on a very long journey in the early 90s to a distant star. The crew serves in 25 year shifts, with each shift passing the torch to the one after. The audience watches current events aboard the ship unfold in 2017, as the second shift is

Thargoids Aliens In Elite: Dangerous Have Suddenly Become Hostile

Thargoids Aliens In Elite: Dangerous Have Suddenly Become Hostile

, , , , , 0

The Thargoids, an alien species in the Elite: Dangerous universe, first appeared in the game almost a year ago. This first contact event surprised players, who were given no real warning that they would be coming over to their galaxy. The situations was tense but this quickly turned to intrigue when meetings between the alien ships and players were seemingly peaceful. That is no longer the case. Thargoids ships have suddenly become hostile to players and will engage them in combat if they come within a certain range. What exactly has triggered this shift in behaviour is not known but a recent update to the game may have been responsible. Unfortunately, it seems like there isn’t much that can be done to fight the Thargoids at present as their ships are just too powerful. – with encounters between one Thargoid ship and almost two dozen players ending in almost complete destruction for the humans. Whether this is the precursor to an all-out war with the alien species or just a

Space is a place that we as humans long to go to. But, it’s also the source of many potential stories. For TV shows, movies, video games, comics, it all comes together…but…often it’s not pleasing stories that are told. Take for example the upcoming first-person psychological horror game Moons of Madness by Rock Pocket Games. This title has been revealed to be coming out in 2018, and it’ll be quite the experience as you have to deal with events on a space station just over Mars. “In Moons of Madness, Rock Pocket Games integrates the cosmicism style found in H.P. Lovecraft’s hallmark to the game’s narrative, environment and gameplay; the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person. To render this lyrical experience on screen, Moons of Madness rely on three main core mechanics: Combining hard science, based on meticulous analysis of NASA and Space X research, with

Rebel Galaxy Review (Xbox One)

Rebel Galaxy Review (Xbox One)

One of the most popular types of games are those that are set in space. The science fiction genre continues to be one of the biggest in the industry and there are hundreds of new releases every year that focus on space and aliens. Yet, there are relatively few titles that give players something that they truly want, the ability to explore the depths of the universe in their own spaceship, despite the huge success of games like EVE Online and Elite: Dangerous. Even when such games do come to market, they are usually involve lots of fiddling around in menus, excessive amounts of mining and trading rather than any real exploration. This can make such games feel more like spreadsheet management simulators than the romantic experiences we really want. So does Rebel Galaxy manage to avoid these traps? Created by Double Damage, it throws players straight into the action straight from the get go without establishing any sort of backstory. You are simply left to travel to an objective

Rosetta Becomes First Spacecraft to Journey to a Comet

Rosetta Becomes First Spacecraft to Journey to a Comet

Today is a historic day for solar system exploration. The European Space Agency spacecraft Rosetta ended 10 years of sailing through the solar system to come to its destination, cosmic spitting distance from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta’s path through the solar system was circuitous, using three gravity assisted flybys of Earth and one of Mars to build speed and get on the proper course to meet the comet. But it’s finally there at the comet’s current location about 405 million km from Earth, or about halfway between Jupiter and Mars. “After ten years, five months and four days travelling towards our destination, looping around the Sun five times and clocking up 6.4 billion km, we are delighted to announce finally ‘we are here’,” says Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA’s Director General. “Europe’s Rosetta is now the first spacecraft in history to rendezvous with a comet, a major highlight in exploring our origins. Discoveries can start.” Comets are thought to have possibly helped ‘seed’ the Earth with water and maybe even life, but there are many unanswered questions about

Scientists Take Control of Long-Abandoned Spacecraft

Scientists Take Control of Long-Abandoned Spacecraft

Yesterday, a group of civilian scientists was able to make contact with and control a spacecraft that has been wandering alone in the solar system for decades. The spacecraft, the International Sun-Earth Explorer-3 (ISEE-3), was contacted by the ISEE-3 Reboot Project from the Arecibo Radio Observatory in Puerto Rico. The Reboot Project is an international effort authorized by NASA to contact and control the spacecraft. The project established two-way communication with ISEE-3 and was able to send it commands. The next steps are to assess the spacecraft’s overall health and to work toward firing up its engines and bringing it back to a near earth orbit. The spacecraft is sending back telemetry data. ISEE-3 was launched as a joint NASA and European Space Agency project in 1978 and spent three years studying solar winds. It was then renamed the International Comet Explorer and redirected by NASA to study two comets, Comet Giacobini-Zinner and Halley’s Comet. NASA shut the project down in 1997 and since then it has continued to orbit the sun. The spacecraft’s orbit
