I think going through the FLGS is a good idea. But, the campaign says those massive ships for the Prussians and RC are campaign exclusives.  I wonder if stores can get those or not.

Naval Video Game Discussion / Dead Star PC and PS4

« on: April 11, 2016, 09:45:04 am »

I've recently picked up Dead Star for PS4 and it is really fun.

Dead Star is a hybrid between a twin-stick shooter and a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena). Matches last 10 to 15 minutes and center around gathering resources, controlling sectors, and of course combat.

There are 3 races and 3 ships for each race (small, medium, and large). Small ships are single pilot dog-fighters. Medium ships usually have tactical abilities with the ability to buff or debuff a small area of the map, or gather resources more quickly. Large ships are full on frigates with serious firepower and fleet support (healing other ships around them, etc.)

The gameplay is fast but methodical and I highly recommend it. Check out the link below.

Finally, there is a special game mode that you can earn as a rare reward. I have not seen this happen yet. But, if you are lucky you will be called up to aid in a raid, piloting a capital ship, and invade an ongoing match. I really want to look up what it looks like in game, but I'm saving the surprise for when it happens to me.


This game is free on PS4 for anyone with a PSPlus membership. Or it is just $20.00 any other time. I don't think the PS4 and PC servers have cross-play.

I'm up to game with anyone on PS4 (Batllefront anyone?). Send me a PM if you are interested.

Welcome to the group!

I'm in Littleton and can usually game Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays as well. I'm partial to Enchanted Grounds on Bowles, but would be happy to play elsewhere.

DWCO / Re: DW Antartica vs. Russa @ Enchanted Grounds 2!

This was a thematic game, although pretty rough for the CoA. As this was still one of Zorper's early games, I think it was good to see just how much good/bad luck can play into DW.

We weren't able to get pictures, but in the first turn the CoA commodore used a portal to send a squadron of frigates and a squadron of corvettes through to just left of the RC frigates and cruisers. They got off one decent shot, but as the frigates and cruisers hadn't activated yet, they made fairly short work of the CoA smalls.

Back to that crazy double 6 critical thing, we had two! Both of them were on large/massives. In turn 2 or 3 the Aristotle battleship smashed some rocks by moving about a foot courtesy of the RC Khatanga (another notch in its hull for another large adversary decimated). Then the next turn the RC carrier was thrown into a collision with some CoA cruisers (no damage on either side).

It seems that all that ambient sturginium may have stirred the pot of luck in this game.

Zorper, Warhawk,

I am down for some DW at Collectormania on the 23rd. I haven't played in over a month. Maybe its time to try some of my new Chinese Federation ships out.  Actually, I don't think I even opened the box yet!

I can be there at 10. Will either of you make it by then?

Side-note: I'm up for a bit of X-wing too if anyone is interested and time permits.

Yeah I'm down.

I have 1 t-65 x-wing expansion and will be interested in picking up a B, A, and Y Wing over time so hopefully I can keep up.

Stephan,

I think I could make Wednesday at Collectormania. The EG on Bowles also has a fairly casual X-Wing night on Thursdays.

Stephan,

That sounds like a good bunch of ships to start out with. Are you free next week at all?

Dale,

I'm excited to see the Lothal Rebels on the board! They have so many pilots, the game can feel very different every time. They also seem like they would lend themselves to scenarios really well.

Dale,

We will have to get together when we can, either in the Springs or up North.

Stephan,

Let me know when you would like to play. I still only have a few ships: 2 x-wings, 1 k-wing, and 3 Ties. But, if we combine our forces we could probably get both sides to 100 points pretty easily.

Find a Game! / X-Wing Meet Ups Denver - Flying Casual

Hello Everyone,

This thread is meant for scheduling X-Wing games in the Denver area. Since Episode VII came out my mind is stuck on Star Wars and I need to play this game!

I hope to play casually with scenarios and fun "what if" lists as opposed to super competitive games.

I can be available most evenings during the week and often on weekend mornings or afternoons.

Enchanted Grounds or Collectormania are best for me, but I'm happy to try other places as well.

We could set up our own DW tournament or something. Held elsewhere.

Warhawk,

Something unexpected came up at work Tuesday. Looks like I'll have to cancel.

Hopefully we can get together after the new year
