Re: Best space strategy games? I'm slowly getting back into X3, which is a lot of fun, even if it's not 100% accessible and probably won't be. There are many things we can do despite the lack of manual spaceflight, as it's got a ton of menus and an excellent scripting ability.

Re: Best space strategy games? The best that I've found so far is the command line version of Master of Orion. Almost all aspects of it are accessible, except combat which you can leave to the AI to automatically resolve.I also used to be pretty addicted to Ogame and its variants / clones, but its unfortunately the type of game which requires you to wait for rl time before something happens and for you to plan your life around the game so I stopped.I'm always hoping for mainstream 4x games to be accessible, especially after playing Moo and getting to experience what a proper one is like.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? TauStation was mentioned in this thread. That game is very much a Dark game. PVP, no open PVP, not really designed with strategy in mind, I don't think. For a browser game, it's doing a heck of a lot with lore and story, more than any other browser game I know of. Most of these space games, if you want the heavy strategy they often sacrifice playable storylines and lore in my experience. TauStation has side quests and content now, but they're developing the main questline now.

Re: Best space strategy games? Hi WAlker and all, Yeah, I remember getting through both Cecession and Invasion on NVDA without a trackpad. You have to use I think object review mode and mouse tracking needs to be turned on (NVDA key plus M), and use the NVDA key plus enter to click on stuff. I had the same thing with missiles crashing my game, however, I'd end up saving it before every mission and that got super tedious.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? @Rtt, getting married both adds to your score at the end of the game, and also gives you free battledroids and some quests to do.Again I'll have to check the interface with NVdA before giving tips. With new horizons, I'm not sure on the sound mod as I never tried it, but searching the forums would probably help, or just posting a more general topic. As I said in my guide, owning your own moon is more sort of for bling factor than anything practical, indeed I wonder if Freman69 planned to do more with it but then released the game as is. If you have the money though it's relatively easy to do, just ask for directions in a zocalo or freeport station, and if none are within range, fly around until you find one, then just land on it and buy. The moon acts basically like your own personal zocalo and upgrade station, but since at that point you've pretty much got all the upgrades anyway, it's slightly pointless accept for browny points, though since they cost about 70 k credits a pop, by the time your earning one you've probably done everything else there is to do (On my save file I've bought two of the things).As regards anacreon, with combat I was referring to This guide which actually you wrote zack . Since the grid thing I just never got the hang of at all.Tau station actually I am liking, albeit I dont' really get how the time relates to your actions and focus yet and am still exploring the game. it's slower paced, but I don't personally mind something I can check into occasionally and do an action or two, and the world and actions are interesting enough to not feel too grindy, plus, it lacks the pvp hackiness and generally scuzzy atmosphere of torn city.

It was my first introduction to online games, courtesy of a super thoughtful and resourceful sighted elementary school friend who wanted to be inclusive.

Re: Best space strategy games? Hey All,Begin at least was originally a DOS program. THere's a Windows version but it isn't accessible, so you need a DOS emulator, like Talking Dosbox to play it. IF you can get one you can find it at this link, among other places, though the full manual may or may not be included. I don't remember exactly where I got that, but it goes into detail about the physics simulation the game uses, among other things.Anacreon did indeed get ported to WIndows, and was last updated around 2005 or so. I don't really know what Dark is referring to with his comments about combat deployment, but it is doable last I checked, you just have to get used to the way the table is laid out, which is fairly simple. I tend to prefer the DOS version of this game in some ways, just because I"m used to playing other games in DOS anyway. Plus, the manual is a great read.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? The website I saw for anacreon was This one which has the manual and documentation, although according to that site the game's last update was around 2005 or so. I do remember checking out the game at one point and loving the sound of some of the systems, particularly how planetary combat worked. The problem though again was that a lot of the interface was super clunky. Ironically, the space and movement screens seemed very logical, many of the menus and overviews of information were needlessly complex, then when I looked at Zcline's comments about combat deployment requiring poke and hope tactics I pretty much gave up. Of course I don't know if NVdA is more compatible with Annacreon than supernova was, or if there have previously been some updates with a more accessible interface. Btw, not that it's a space trading game, but I've just also started playing Tau station, which looks fun, albeit more like a set of dayly gamebook challenges and random loot drops than a space strategy game.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? @Audacity, nope, when I played core exiles everything was pve. There was mech battling as a minigame, but that was more like a sport where you'd sit around and see whom the random numbers favoured .There was a huge amount of other stuff though, from massive crafting, to owning all sorts of factories and harvesters and automated miners and such, you'd end up logging on each day just to check your investments.Generally, the way the game worked would be to have several different active options whilst something passive was going on. What I mean is, you could go and mine yourself, which would be a bit of a button masher, or fly around and do various sorts of missions, mean while you'd set factories and stuff gathering resources and what not, then either sell it off to the galactic market or use it in crafting, indeed rarely have I seen a game where the economic model of pretty much everyone gathering resources and needing them worked as well. The only thing with core exiles, is that the game was intended to reward hard work and diversity. What I mean is, someone who flies in and expects a cosmic rage like setup where you do one activity for an hour, then level up and do something else would be disappointed. Core exiles was more the sort of game where you'd mine for a bit, then go and refine the ore, then perhaps go and check on one of your factories, maybe taking a passenger mission to a nearby system along the way, then go off and a combat mission or two, then strap on your ship's salvage gear and blast away. Oh, that's another thing with core exiles, expect a lot of equipment juggling, for both you and your ships.It was a really rewarding game and I played solidly for a good three or four years, probably longer than I've played any other online game, indeed I probably ought to fire up my account again and see how things are going.

Re: Best space strategy games? On the topic of obscure strategy games,I have to mention Anacreon Reconstruction, which is available for DOS and Windows. It's a lot of fun, even if it isn't quite as deep as some of the other games in this thread. I wish it had been improved just a bit, with a proper diplomacy system, for instance, but it is still a really fun game.

Re: Best space strategy games? Audacity and all,I'm glad to hear you're enjoying MOO a bit more. I was looking at the code required to add a next/previous colony function, and it looks fairly simple. I should be able to get to that whenever work lets up in the next week or so and I feel like hacking on C for a bit. In the mean time, if you use the "+ number," syntax with the G command, which isn't actually documented, it looks like the game is designed to cycle you from planet to planet already, although it's a bit confusing in implementation.The problem with most of the games I like is that they're generally either obscure, or text-based, or need OCR to work, and this tends to limit the appeal of the games to the broader blind gaming market, such as it is. I understand why this is so, but it's still a bit sad at times.

Re: Best space strategy games? @Dark Yeah, I pick up voyageur just for the civilization and planet descriptions now and then leave it in disgust, every time, after like a half hour...but I know I'll be back. I want to check out core exiles, I've heard only good things. Is there any kind of PVP combat if I want it? I'm with you the way it's handled in most online games, there's little strategy and a lot of just grinding for resources...or, even worse, waiting for a day and coming back to either a nice windfall or a bunch of dead people.I'm liking Master of Orion more and more, which is saying a lot because it was excellent from the start. You need to have a separate window for notes and you need to update them, every turn if possible. There's also a lot of fine tuning exactly what each planet is producing, sometimes every few turns, (which is why I like it, the exploit X is maybe my favorite one if it's handled well), also yit's a great balance between randomness and predictability.@Zkline Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a look. Tactical space combat sounds fun, too, indeed, along with a way to move to my next or previous colony for efficiency it's probably what I miss most on MOO currently. That's obviously a tangent, and I'm sure you're more aware than I am. @RTTWow, you really want to play Smugglers! I can't say I blame you, that game has a lot of fun mechanics even though I got bored after...hell, a few months. I always have to remember how to make it work every time I pick it up, so give me a few days and I'll message you with contact info.

Re: Best space strategy games? My favorite Star Trek game was always Begin: A Tactical Starship Simulation. It was a bit less a strategy game and more a simulation of ship-based tactical combat, but was very unique. I need to try and grab it again for the fun of it.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? @RTT entertainment, I've not tried smugglers with NVDA myself yet, I'd need to reinstall the games on my windows 10 machine and then work out how to do things with NVdA myself before I even consider a recording or similar, plus do something about recording since I suspect with my on the wall quad speakers, these days recording from my desktop might be a little interesting.I still need to try master of orion, indeed I looked at aurora at one point but the very game setup sort of scared me off . I don't mind taking time to learn a game, but I like learning as I play rather than having to struggle to learn a hole bunch, not to mention grapple with a complex interface just to even make it past the first screen of the tutorial. I like the idea of master of orion since pure text based console window stuff is familiar territory to me. I did play voyageur, I spent an evening and got through one ascention, but it didn't seem I was making over all progress, though I probably need to look at the game again, I especially liked the civilization generation there and many of the descriptions reminded me of Ian M Banks Culture universe which is never a bad thing.@Kenshiro, I always preferd Tom Ward's Final conflict over Trek 2000 because I'm much more a next gen than original series trek person. It always disappointed me though that galaxy was so barren with nothing in it in that game, and that you didn't find planets, events etc. It was a nice game to mess with, but I'd say these days expanding known space does a far better job of the concept, albeit that's still very much an expand and exterminate game rather than explore specifically.I've always been sorry as well, that so many online space games basically default to pvp hacks, since for me, I'd be much more interested in expanding into the environment and being challenged by gruelling conditions in space or strange aliens, than playing a "who can minimax the most" with other human players.I believe warring factions did have a little of this, but again the interface there was so stupidly complex I never got very far with them. The only space games I took considerable time with was core exiles, right up to getting settlements and factories, and that even had exploration of ships or planets. Indeed, in some was CE was srot of like a multiplayer smugglers, though with more emphasis on trading and cooperation, since the only pvp bit was mech battels.

Re: Best space strategy games? 1920x1080 is just fine, you'll be able to enjoy the game without having to fumble around with odd workarounds. The one thing I might suggest is to check the Windows scaling settings, they might be set to 200% or 150%, and you'll want to lower that to 100% or the screens will not behave quite right.It's been a long time since I've messed with this game seriously, but it's definitely a lot of fun.

Re: Best space strategy games? Aurora is to MOO as… Hm, well. Maybe I can best illustrate this with an example. MOO ships are built out of pre-designed modules, you put, say, Merculite Missiles and some shields on, but the point is that you're basically picking components off a menu. Aurora's approach is more like designing each individual component. YOu have to design and research engines, sensors, weapons, fire control, etc. etc. SHips are built up out of those components and a few off-the-shelf parts, the final stat block for a ship deisgn looks something liek this…Galileo class Gravsurvey Ship 4000 tons 388 Crew 672.4 BP TCS 80 TH 240 EM 03000 km/s JR 3-50 Armour 1-22 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/3/0 Damage Control Rating 3 PPV 0Annual Failure Rate: 42% IFR: 0.6% Maintenance Capacity 315 MSP Max Repair 100 MSPLockheed JD4000 Jump Drive Max Ship Size 4000 tons Distance 50k km Squadron Size 3E90 Nuclear Pulse Engine (6) Power 40 Efficiency 0.90 Signature 40 Armour 0 Exp 5%Fuel Capacity 300,000 Litres Range 150.0 billion km (578 days at full power)Gravitational Survey Sensors (3) 3 Survey Points per hour.The exact stats in that ship data block take a little getting used to, but basically this is a small, unarmed survey ship to find what Aurora calls jump points, which are the game's answer to faster-than light travel. It is capable of going at 3000 KM per second, which is thanks to the custom-designed nuclear pulse engines the player has researched. It has a jump drive itself, which ensures that it can use any jump points it does find. It will probably be deployed either alone or with sister ships of a similar class, possibly with an armed escort just in case.The thing to understand about AUrora is that it simulates a ton of detail. That jump ship will have a captain with a name and service history. THe systems you explore will be realistically scaled, that is, you will find systems with multiple planets and multiple stars, sometimes at extreme distances. Planets have atmospheres, and you won't be able to colonize most of them right away,b ut you can set up terraforming projects which take quite a bit of time to complete. If this hasn't scared you off, you can find your screen resolution by going into Display Settings in WIndows 10, which I presume is what you have.

I'd say the middle two xs, expanding and exploiting, are what really captivate me, although exploring can depending on how it's implemented. Did you ever play voyageur?

If all my questions haven't irritated you yet, could you give me some extra detail as to how Araura is diferent from Master of Orion? Honestly if I didn't have to separately keep track of all my worlds Orion would be perfect, though a bit more flavor text about each planet, combat etc would be nice. This, incidentally, is why I love six ages and to a lesser extent KODP.

Re: Best space strategy games? Hi dark. Thanks so much for the help. Is there a discord server for the smugglers games? I really would like to hear how the game is played using NVDA. I will have a look at new horizons again. I own both smugglers five games and I have wanted to play them for almost 5 years. I know the NVDA cursor does work, but from what I’ve seen while attempting to play the smugglers games, it never seemed to pick up the text on the screen very reliably. It was basically like using OCR.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? I agree with you as far as OCR goes, since most OCR results I've seen have been too unreliable to make a thing easily accessible, but not as far as the NVdA curser goes. maybe it was just getting used to using Supernova's virtual curser, which you had to do for nearly everything back in the day, but using the NVdA curser in games doesn't bother me, it's' just a different set of keystrokes, indeed I often use the NVdA curser when playing interactive fiction or wanting to read bits of console windows again, or heck when using C cleaner. new horizons actually has several options to help you with getting used to things first. to begin, if you choose the worm ship at startup, you will not have to worry about combat at all and can get used to flying from place to place first, looking around and trading resources, which should be an easy way to learn the basics without getting into trouble. whilst I agree new horizons is not an easy game to learn, it's one of the most rewarding games I've played in a long while, and a game I'd highly recommend. Have a look at My new horizons complete guide found here, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Re: Best space strategy games? Hi guys.So, I have one major problem that prevents me from playing some of these games.I am not the biggest fan of using OCR for one major reason. Its experimental in nature.What this means is that it can't give perfect results.I hate messing around with potential access issues in games like x3 or the smugglers games, because it takes a lot of elbow grease and general human knowhow just to get things working as they should be.In a perfect world, the smugglers games would be the standardised interface windows that we're used to, and the OCR would be able to read every option in X3 as it's highlighted.I know that this is hard to do, and i know that the devs aren't exactly made of money, but for someone like me, using the jaws cursor or NVDas object review to play a game that doesn't even give us the proper info without going to the other ends of the galaxy (literally) seems kinda pointless and not worth the effort.Oh, and don't even get me started on games like new horizons.Those games are gems in and of themselves, but the constant audio cues and rapidly updating info make those games virtually impossible to play for someone like me who isn't able to keep up.I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong, this is just how I feel about the general concept of games that either need to be made accessible by the community or that are too full of info that is constantly changing.What would you guys recommend i do? I would love nothing more then to play these games, but I feel as though I'm unable to get passed the first few minutes due to the large amount of info or the general access issues.Could someone possibly teach me how to play?I know that there are guides available, but those guides don't take those like me into account.Again, i'm not saying that these games are bad, i'm just expressing my opinion.

Re: Best space strategy games? @Audacity,That question about favorite games is hard to answer, because i tend to get into moods for one game or another and bang on it exclusively for a couple months and then burn out. I've been known to love roguelike games in general, NetHack and Dungeon Crawl for instance, but also have just been spending a long while with some ancient text-based war games from the 80s, which are delightful if a bit hard to play without a DOS emulator.To bring it back to space strategy games in particular, what is your screen resolution? Aurora has a minimum required 1280x800, and ideally 1280x1024. If you have anything larger than either of those you will be fine, but something like 1366x768 will not.

Re: Best space strategy games?
Re: Best space strategy games? for me, the first two x's of 4x games, that is explore and expand were always the most important ones, plus of course a little combat is fun. Management I always saw as means to an end, that is building more stuff or expanding more, so for me at least, flying around in new horizons or just being able to visit half the galaxy and try out different ship types in smugglers was enough. I also love trimps for the same reason and have played it pretty continuously for a while now, albeit whether I micro manage my trimps or just bang them on a map to gather all the upgrades and progress more slowly can vary.The only thing which I really don't like in space company is that the ascension mechanics are so bloody slow, since ascending once basically gets you absolutely nothing, and a lot of later game expansions get really quite ridiculous price wise.Another game we haven't mentioned here is expanding known space from valient galaxy associates. That is far more about the fleet management and strategical combat, and is nice if you want a strategy heavy game to get into for a few hours, though with it's setup of specific matches and conditions, it's not really a long play game unless you want to beat the AI in different conditions. From what I've read galactic colonies will be a different beast to crafting kingdom, with actual sim city style building placement as well as a procedurally generated galaxy. Personally I have always really loved the idea of a game that would let me guide a newly colonized planet from wilderness survival to a thriving civilization, especially if (as is apparently the case in galactic colonies), I can then move on and try the hole process again with a different procedurally generated planet. But since the access fixes seem to be taking a little longer than expected, we'll have to just wait and see on that one.

Re: Best space strategy games? @DarkI think our tastes are flipped in that regard. My problem with new horizons, and this is all subjective, was it seemed to be more about first person exploration and combat than actually building an empire, fleet, or even having much ship customization beyond the standard "here are a few upgrade options, choose!!" Fun, yeah, but not so much my thing. Maybe that's what you like and I respect it.Smugglers was similar in that way, you had a few options and were pretty much stuck to developing along those several lines they gave you. Profession felt like prison, which I guess is accurate to real life but I'm here for escape, dammit! Space company...thoroughly had my attention for about two and a half hours, then I got utterly bored. I may return to it on a day when I've had wayyy too much coffee and my ADHD medicine wants me to have 5 open games at once, or when I need a mostly mindless anchor to keep me productive (the appeal of most clicker games for me, especially TRIMPS and, of all things, Rebuild the freaking Univers) but that's probably the extent for me. In my mind resources are a means to an end, not the end in itself. Galactic colonies looks interesting but I also got pretty bore by Crafting Kingdom after just a few days, again it's objectively a fantastic game just not to my tastes, so yeah.

Re: Best space strategy games? I loved the smugglers games, and should actually reinstall them on my windows 10 machine and try them out with NVdA, though I'd like to put in a word for new horizons as I spent hours on that one (see my guide in the articles room).I will say these days incremental games look to be getting into space strategy, I can't wait for galactic colonies on Ios, and I absolutely love space company, then again I freely admit I'm more of a fan of exploring and resource use than the pvp aspect of empire building.

Re: Best space strategy games? I can't exactly say I recommend Aurora, just because it's got a bunch of little quirks which are largely a result of its VB6 heritage. It's a wonderful strategy game, just definitely not for everyone, and I'm basically shelving it until the new version comes out and will hopefully be a little less annoying to work with.

Re: Best space strategy games? Yeah the smugglers games are quite playable with a bit of patience. What screen reader are you using? I'm happy to help as best I can.

Re: Best space strategy games? Don’t forget about new horizons, which is an audio version of the elite game developed by the same developer as echo quadrant.

Best space strategy games? Hi all, As maybe you can see from my name, I'm really into space strategy type games. I loved smugglers Five, both invasion and cecession, though I found the mechanics a bit too repetitive and mindless after a while. Star Traders on iOS and android was great too, but with similar issues. I'm really loving Zkline's Master of Orion text interface but, as it currently stands, there are just enough quirks to make it hard to follow everything I need to. I intend to check out the known space games once the annoying speech synthesis issue gets fixed; I respect the company following their original design choice but that's unfortunately a deal breaker for me. It's a shame, too, because it looks like there's real potential there. Echo quadrant had me thoroughly hooked for a couple hours, but I kept accidentally losing progress with the escape key (even when I knew not to, old habits and such), so I gave up. What are your favorite space strategy games and am I missing any great ones?

What's going on? I'm using a windows 8.1 machine, and I'm using the latest version of jaws. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, this sounds like a game that's right up my alley.

Re: space strategy games Id forgotten about Galaxy Ranger. I seem to remember it was a pretty good game, although kind of simplistic compared to the resource management of RTS or the map complexity of TOC. I also remember that all you needed to do was build a cruiser and youd won. Are the VIP games still available then?Id honestly never thought about Tactical Battles for some kind of mech game. Id love to make a map where you have some kind of robot army. Maybe to make a map where you control Space Marines from Warhammer 40,000.I wonder if Entombed would be a good game for making a mech simulator since it has mechanics for body parts and effects which can enhance or nerf your characters?

Re: space strategy games
Re: space strategy games Unfortunately limbs and different systems are sort of part of the mech experience. I remember a few years ago I was checking out a prespective java project called megamech which was a computer version of the battletech wargame. sadly that one didnt quite work out sinse sun have basically dropped support for swing access bridge in java and the developer couldnt find good ways of representing things in text, but reading the rules did give some quite interesting ideas for a combat game and something Id like to see. Sadly the only browser game I found about mechs, the game mech commander, was very heavy on the columns of stats, not that interesting and basically just had the usual automatic combat that %90 of these browser games have, which is a shame. Id love to see a real mech stratogy game where you had to respond to what yur enemy did and take advantages of the weaknesses of their mechs to win, eg, shooting off hands to prevent them using accurate attacks, or blasting legs to knock their mechs over. MEGAMECH EVEN HAD rules for playing two legged or multi legged mechs which sounded great, especially sinse each mech also had stats like power source, amo, armor etc that needed managing, AS WELL AS RULES FOR DIFFERENT TURRANE TYPES ON THE BOARD.i ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED THE IDEA OF PLAYIG 1-4 UNITS AND MANAGING THEM IN GREAT DETAIL, AS OPPOSED TO A HUGE HOARD ON A COMPLEX SPACIAL MAP.

Re: space strategy games
Re: space strategy games @Victorious, sorry if I wasnt clear, I was more thinking of tactical battle for a mech warfare type of stratogy game, not a spaceship stratogy, sinse programming different attacks, effects and rangers would be great, although i dont know if deeper mech stratogy such as specific damage to different body parts having different effects on your weapons, eg, having a hand blown off decreasing accuracy would be possible. I do see the tactical battle limitations in a space fleet warfare type of game, so I look forward to anything you develop.

Re: space strategy games
Re: space strategy games Well galaxy ranger is probably going to be your best option for a war stratogy game in literally self voicing terms. If however you dont mind games using sapi or other screen reader output there are more options. Time of conflict is definitely first on the list, sinse it now has a set of startrek maps and units that will simulate a very complex space battle in addition to the original second world war version, and if startrek isnt your thing you could always try creating your own maps. Trek 2000 and Usa games Startrek final conflict are still around as abandonware, though both are far simpler than Toc, and while Traders of Known space is a great space game and self voicing it is far more about trading than combat, (vga are planning a space combat game, and even a strategical conquest game,but neither has been released yet). Ditto with Lords of the galaxy which is best described as monopoly in space, although for me there were some mechanics there that unb alanced the game wy too much. lastly, while not a self voicing game, I would recommend smugglers, (especially smugglers 5), sinse you can play as a combat officer or pilot and do no trading, which can lead to controlling your own empire or having fleet battles, the combat is also very involved though its based more on your ship vs the enemy rpg style than on strategical sound rts style management, still its worth trying if your looking for a single player space game, though sinse youve heard my podcast about the game you probably are aware of smugglers. Star traders elite on the Iphone is also going to be a great game once the access is fixed. As far as I know, that is it for single player space stratogy, though if Ive missed anything perhaps people could correct me. Actually thinking about it its a shame there arent more of these, though given the complexity involved in writing stratogy games, especially balanced stratogy games its not entirely surprising.Personally, Id love to see a mech stratogy game, where you had a limited number of mechs on the board (perhaps only 3 or 4), but each required complex micro management of various systems and attacks, and coordination of its movements. I wonder if this might be possible with tactical battle?
