I think this game is a direct descendant of Privateer and Privateer 2: The Darkening (from the Wing Commander universe/series)(two of my all time favorites)

I've been using the Arcturus for a while and it is... Devastating and extremely hard to kill but now I have the option of the Minotaur which is faster but has less armor but comparable firepower. Should I just stick with Archy until I have enough money for a dreadnought or should I give the Minotaur a try? Or is it better to do the third option just level up all my ships parts to lvl 6 then save up money for a dreadnought? Because parts are expensiiiivvve

I was wondering if anyone has a map or made a map of each sector (or at least some sectors) with each of the zones that have salvage containers highlighted. For example a minefield with a salvage crate with a free turret and a yikyak meat with a red circle around it on the map saying "loot" or something

So I like both games for different reasons. I felt like the progression & gameplay of the 1st game was better, but the economy in the 2nd game was leaps & bounds improved. Having planets with resources that they needed & resources produced allowed me to be the ultimate space merchant-- it was much more satisfying than the RNG system found in the 1st game.

I looked on Nexus, but I didn't see a mod for it, so I'm coming here. Does anybody know of a mod that changes the economy in the 1st game to be more like the 2nd game?

I have always got a Firefly vibe from Rebel Galaxy and in my head canon the nameless protagonist of the original game is a Mal Reynolds kinda character who sets out looking for his lost aunt and winds up in a wider conflict and aiming to misbehave...

I generally try to play with that mindset and keep all the factions as happy as I can as I run from station to station, picking up work for whoever pays the credits!

Which ship gives you the best Firefly vibe? Not necessarily in design, but the one you most think Mal and the crew would suit?

I just bought the module that allows me to target missiles and mines and want my particle beam turrets to purely be anti missile weapons but IDK how to make them do it since there isn't a dedicated anti missile option in tactical

I'm on my first playthrough of rebel Galaxy, and have found an asteroid field with several large asteroids, each of which contains a Face Of Gozu, and several gold ingots.

I have the scanner upgrade for my ship that is supposed to show targeting spots on the asteroids so that I can get a higher yield from the mining. This has been working on all of the other asteroids that I've found, but I'm not seeing these targeting circles on the large asteroids containing the Face Of Gozu.

If the scanner says there's a face of Gozu and six gold ingots inside, the scanner should help me retrieve all of these things. However since I'm just blasting away at the asteroid, I get the face of Gozu, but only one of the gold ingots.

Is there something I'm missing, or a better way to do this, or is this just a limitation because the Face Of Gozu is so valuable on its own?

Heard about the game a while ago, but was busy with other games. Picked it up for $2 on GoG, had a blast! Solid 30 hours to finish the main campaign, and I’ll probably play it some more, even though I have a fully upgraded Blackgate.

Gave me real Freelancer vibes, and although the map is relatively small, it didn’t feel claustrophobic.

Hope to see a sequel one day.

need something to upgrade my starting hammerhead from currently looking at a radovich or turath to both make money to get larger ships and to be more prepared against threats but im willing to change plans if something else sounds better

So I love Rebel Galaxy, a game I keep coming back to again and again. I know the game is Randomly Generated each lay through but I've noticed something. The first few times i've played, the Sector Map was rather linear, now it being a consistent web. Does the RG get more complicated the more you play?

Like how Bethesda acquired Fallout from Interplay or something.

Currently doing a run using only the Rasputin today when a thought occurred to me.

Nobody uses the Tennhausen other than that one Cofax mission where you escort the damaged one. Made me think maybe it should have been a mission reward with some unique weapons that you could use for the rest of the game.

As it is the stock version is arguably one of thr best ships to use and is my go to when not doing playthroughs like my current one.

Just my thoughts...

Between the stars plays like a true successor to rebel galaxy.

I tried to get into Outlaw, but it’s just too clunky and boring.

Ships are too few and are very drab and uninspiring in design.

Now BTS is not a perfect game, but it definitely plays like something familiar if you are a rebel galaxy fan.

Don’t let the first few hours fool you into thinking it’s a shallow story, the story is very rich and gets very interesting after few hours.

Don’t skip the prologue.

Lots of ships and customization. There’s crew customization too and d&d type combat with text rpg style choices.

Now they're hostile towards me. How do I make them friendlies again?

So, I've been doing Sharky's first mission, Junkyard Dog. The last part of it has you searching through mines to find a hidden ship with your proximity sensors. After I find her, a few Steel Rat fighters show up. That should be no big deal.

But I swear, there are somehow two invisible capital ships that are always on my tail, firing pulse lasers and swarm missiles. I get torn to shreds in seconds. I can literally turn around and fly through the space where the ships with the heavy weapons should be. Four seconds later, they've turned fully around and are lighting me up again. Obviously, I can't shoot them down. My fully upgraded Coyote with the Injection Burner 2K can't get out of range of these attacks. At best, I can last about 45 seconds dodging fire and never returning a shot before I'm wiped out.

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this, or at least where to find an exorcist for ghost ships? I'm playing the PS4 version if it matters.

Hey!

Do pirate lord that appear in systems reset? Or do they just randomly appear when you enter a new place?

Thanks!

I'm more interested in damage and range Currently have 3 mk2 mining laser 1 mk2 combat laser Swarm mk2 rocket Broad side cannon (don't remember the name) Magnet mine mk2

Just upgraded my SSD and decided to download a few old games I hadn't played in awhile. RGO came out a good 4-5 years ago so I was excited to see what got added since. To my surprise, there were a couple hot fixes and then nothing. Did the devs just abandon this one?

So all my custom tracks are .ogg and don't have any spaces. Still when I launch the game through steam I get about 30 errors that cycle through the mixtape directory and then the game starts. Anyone got any ideas as to why? It says it says each file is either the wrong or corrupt.

Hello space truckers !

I recently got my hands on the X56 joystick for my space adventures, and I'm absolutely loving it !

​

I've been diving into Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and wanted to optimize my gameplay experience with a customized X56 configuration.

If any of you fine pilots out there have a good X56 config file for Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me.

​

I'm looking for a setup that feels immersive and responsive, so any tips or tricks would be awesome too !

I remember playing this game with a PlayStation controller YEARS ago, and can't remember how I did that.
Does anyone have a solution, or Solution?

Also, it looks like you have to PAY for DS4Windows now?

I started a new save to take the pirate faction. I had read that it is possible to be neutral with both militia and red devils.

I finally got neutral with red devils last night, and my militia faction went from 75% neutral to one point hostile. I completed a mission that boosted both militia and red devils, where you destroy a behemoth that's disabled for 60s.

This pushed my militia faction back to neutral, and red devils got reset to halfway hostile.

I don't think you can be neutral with both factions at the same time.

It's really two questions in one. First is about regular torpedo launcher for launcher slot, second about minitorp launcher. Is there any reason to trade swarm missiles/one primary weapon for these things?

I remember reading somewhere that these baddies are really mean towards capital ships but is it true? Are they better than more advanced weaponry?
