Eight years on from its Kickstarter, ambitious space combat sim In The Black's demo is the precursor to early access, and I'm loving how terrible I am at it so far #InTheBlack #SpaceGame #SimulationGame

My dreams have been mostly answered! XD
In the Black by @impellerstudios REALLY scratches that itch if you're looking for a space combat flight sim with heavy expanse vibes!
Realistic physics, mechanics and damage!
It's a demo atm but I highly recommend trying it if you like!

Months ago I mentioned it would be cool to have a space combat game which uses a realistic dmg mechanic similar to that of warthunder. Thought about it again recently so Now imma make a small thread on How I think a game like that will play out.

When I reached the rank of Major, I unlocked the Longbow variant of Bright Star Industries Kolibri-class light fighter. It comes with 8 hardpoints and I put Dawn Strike lasers on 6 of them. Come to today's playtest at 14:30 EST to see it in action! discord.gg/intheblack

I would have gone with 8 lasers, but there's a bug preventing changes to 2 of the hardpoints. They have VDB-15 autocannons by default and it's always good to have a few kinetic weapons.

If nothing else works, a good old ramming will do the job. @GlarusGaming takes out @Wessmaniac (again) @InTheBlackGame youtu.be/KDxEV_oC4WQ?si=O0HN… via @YouTube Another playtest with the devs coming up today at 12:30 EST!

Off-world development is how humanity creates a post-scarcity civilization.
Factories in space and the potential in-space manufacturing:

Only a fraction of these need to be realized for it to be a massive success the rest can build on.

Thanks, @ToughSf for another wonderful share! Thanks, Melänovis for this beautifully rendered vision of a near (?) future spaceship. Your outstanding attention to details, both aesthetic and scientific, is inspiring! We love the name, too! @nyrath
The IPFV Winchell Chung (@nyrath), a magnificent realistic spaceship design by 'Melänovis'.
It's 826m long and ferries cargo to Jupiter using a 153 GW fusion drive. So many fantastic details, starting with the nose art on the debris shield.

Another great design for a realistic combat spacecraft!

Interplanetary Atomics' OM-10A Spacehawk, filling the niche of a flexible, multirole combat vehicle.
Capable of emergency tanking or deep space repairs to carrying a swarm of missiles or bringing 20,000 RPM to bear on a target.
And nuclear missile tubes.
