Traveller-esque Computer Games
- Thread starter Supplement Four
- Start date
Myself and some others are currently working on a MMORPG which will be very similar to Traveller. It not only feature spacefaring much like Elite and Freelancer, but will allow you to walk aboard your ship and on planet surfaces.
The game is still in very early development so thats all I can say for now. We are looking for help, if anyone has any game design experience or art background. This is a community project so it is on a volunteer basis.

Alien Legacy has a very Travelleresque feel, even though it is restricted to only one star-system; it deals with an STL colony ship arriving to a star-system which was supposed to be inhabitated (by another STL colony ship which was launched after it but was higher-tech and faster) to find it devoid of Human habitation. Strategic planning/managing and exploration ensues.

Transcendence is another top-view space combat/exploration/trade game; Solar Winds is a similar, but older, game with a deeper plot. I heartily recommend both of them.

It is a command from Marc (holy be his name) to create it so others may know Traveller (holy be its name). Go forth and spread the word (oh, I guess you are, the power of dreams eh). Gather others to build his game so they may share in the vision!

How good is Freelancer? it's going for £9.99 now and I've almost succumbed to the temptation a couple of times now. </font>[/QUOTE]Freelancer has a story line/plot for you to solve. After that you can adventure in the universe as you choose. Explore, fight (you are the entire crew no matter what the size ship) buy, sell, collect some free stuff, upgrade ships and components, etc. Try looking it up on the web. (Works for most modern games as well as some older ones.) You can get a feel for the game just reading the forums a lot of the time.Originally posted by Zakrol:
