Gratuitious Space Battles Single-Player Campaign DLC Pre-order Beta Begins
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 09, 2010 6:20am PST
If you wish the indie space fleet combat sim Gratuitous Space Battles had a little more structure, point your peepers at the new $6.99 downloadable expansion Galactic Conquest.
Galactic Conquest adds a single-player campaign that'll have you, well, conquering the galaxy. To do that, you'll need to design a fleet to take on all threats then repair and replenish it between engagements. GSB will fill the 52-planet galaxy with enemy fleets designed by other players, while uploading yours to stymie others. Pre-ordering now will net you instant access to the beta version.
Developer Positech Games has yet to reveal when Galactic Conquest will officially launch, though the beta build will probably do you nicely for now, won't it?
Comments
Anyone else remember Wing Commander: Armada? I miss fighting in my own battles. :)
Do I attach with my current damaged fleet, or repair but give the enemy time to build up as well?
Also capturing ships and adding them to you fleet sounds neat. I wounder if you will be told its load out, or if you have to discover it in battle. I would be cool if you can capture tech in battle and take it from captured ships and add it to you existing ships.
