ERMAGERD!! ITS HOMEWORLD WITH THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY CONTROL SHIPS!!! http://store.steampowered.com/app/259660/ I don't know about "greatest" but it does look fun, and its only $15
This launched way back almost a year ago, but I had (and have) a standing policy against buying early access games, so I put it on the back burner and forgot about it till it launched today. Starmade and Starbound are the only two exceptions I've made in a long time.
Love this stuff, but you guys should know that it is not the first attempt at doing this. I actually tried to get us excited about another game awhile back for SWD: http://www.freeallegiance.org/ either way, if you guys want to try one of these, I'm down for it.
This doesn't have multiplayer at the moment. It's a single player campaign with an extra skirmish mode.
This game is amazing. REALLY HARD, but amazing. It is damn near to a perfect game for me. I have been wanting a RTS/FPS or space sim for a very long time. The only thing that would make this better is multiplayer.
and yet again... more monies disappeares from my wallet... i really gotta stop visiting this forum... you guys are gonna cause me to go broke.
