I am hearing great things about Space Rangers 2.
Pretty shocking that I've never heard of it before or its predecessor. SP2 comes with the original, which is nice.
The gameplay is apparently a mish mash of everything. PCGamer gave the game a 92% rating and described gameplay by saying it's a turn based strategy game where you can find yourself playing an RTS or a graphic text adventure. Wild.
At $30, this might be one to check out until Supreme Commander hits the shelves.
Anyone else ever heard of this game or the original?
Space Rangers 2.
I just bought it, but haven't installed it yet. Probably won't get to it for a week or so due to family being in town.

It was only 2 CDs so no big deal.
I have already installed it. Might give it a run tonight.

Oh, 2 cd's? That aint so bad.
I went to amazon.com today and had it in my cart and was checking out... and at the very last second I realized I was about to buy Space Rangers 1 on DVD... not 2. Looking twice I couldn't see a DVD version of Space Rangers 2 at all. It may not exist.
I've emailed the company HQ in england to ask. They'll let me know, I'm sure.

Actually, part 1 comes with part 2. It's on a third CD, but got bad reviews.

Shit.
I just went to launch the game and found out it is Star Force protected.

Seems to be a pretty deep game too. Might be the space game you've been searching for.
Since I already have it in, I guess I'll keep it. Still, I'm a bit pissed. Of course, this hit before the Star Force backlash so I can't hold it against the developer too much.

I was pondering a post on their forums telling them this would be the last game of their's I bought until I know they dropped Star Force.

Actually from a forum I frequent there is a non-starforce version you can get from direct 2 drive. But this aint first hand knowledge as I haven't tried it but it's something to look into if you want the game.If I get a response from the company, I'll reply and ask if they have a star force-free version. Just to make a point.
It's a big manual.
I've played a bit and enjoyed what I did play. I think the problem I ran into initially is my time is limited and there is a LOT to this game. Due to it not having a really smooth path for beginners, I've put it aside knowing I'll need to have some time to learn it.

Where do you have to take the gays?

Hint to anyone who plays: I'd recommend your first game not be as a pirate.
Here's a summary of my first game:
Pirate gets mission, finishes it, goes boom when others come after him.
Reload.
