I played the demo! It's a really solid crafting-exploration game. I like the part with the boat.

Maybe if they packed the Colossus full of Meson Bombs, they could have taken a couple of juggernaughts.  But yeah, without Herkie's super ships, the GTVA was not ready to battle the Sathanas fleet.  I'll never forget the first time I beat Aftermath Reboot in 2020 and finally after all those years got to avenge the Colossus, the Psamtik, and all others lost during the Capella incursion

Ya know? THat sounds like a great Idea for an alternate history confrontation with the Sathanas fleet: it's a one way trip (Al la the IJN Yamato in 1945) and you're gonna get blown to heck but, lets see how many we can take with us.  Either choose the Colossus or an upgunned destroyer, jump in as they gather at the Capella sun and just 'go to town' (or if you're feeling like a cheat you can include the Erebus destroyer and/or some of Herkie's super ships ;RIP brother).

"How many we can take with us" is zero.  A redlining Colossus took 15-20 minutes to destroy a Sathanas.  It takes about 60 seconds for a Sathanas to destroy a Colossus.  Anything destroyer sized or below is history in two salvos or less.

Even a destroyer ramming into the Colossus, which has the exact same number of hit points as a Sathanas, caused minimal damage.

Gaming Discussion / The Last Caretaker

If any of you haven't checked this out, it's a good find.  Free demo is available, it's expected to be in Early Access for at least a year longer, but it's very playable.
The gameplay loop scratches the same itch as Subnautica does in my experience.

Description:

You are the last caretaker; a reawakened machine tasked with saving the future of the human race. You will explore a vast ocean world featuring a deep crafting system with limited resources, allowing you to forge your path and build the tools to save humanity.

The Earth has been swallowed by the ocean as towering megastructures rust under a yawning sky. The Last Caretaker isn't just about survival, it's about discovery. Your choices shape the narrative, offering a personal and thought-provoking adventure that reaches from the sea to the stars.

The Last Caretaker is a thoughtful take on the survival-crafting genre, where every decision you make and every action has a consequence. Immerse yourself in a meticulously crafted world where the fate of humanity rests in your hands. Your mission is clear: recover human seeds, reactivate the Lazarus Complex, and launch the last of humanity to the stars.

High speed pegasus stealth plated meson cruise missiles.   If you can mass produce dozens of thousands over the time it took to build the colly....you can one-two punch them in the hangar ovaries.

FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support / Re: VR resolution (24.2.0)

So I tried playing JAD 2 in VR and well...

"Y U NO HAVE ATLEAST 1024x768 RESOLUTION? - plz change your resolution in the launcher" 

I think it's because the window resolution is too low? But it seems I can't change it. Not via command line nor via In-Game options. I even tried editing config.

Can I increase resolution or is JAD just VR incompatible alltogether?

In the meantime I'll play Sync and Transcend. And then I could still play some mods in flat
