Neptune's Pride 2 VS Endless Sky

> You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey. Neptune's Pride [0] is a fantastic real-time strategy game that has this feature without the maintenance part. You play the game over the course of days instead of minutes or hours. And it may take hours for your ships to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

If you haven’t heard of Neptune’s Pride [0], well… Consider this fair warning! It’s an online multiplayer strategy game, like a sci-fi cross between Risk and Monopoly.

If you want all these things and exponential growth, check out Neptune's pride: https://np.ironhelmet.com/ for basically "diplomacy in space with a few extra dimensions". I haven't played in a few years (it was great at the beginning of the pandemic), but it was a lot of "fun" in the same way that diplomacy is "fun".

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game. Source: 11 months ago

I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/. Source: about 1 year ago
