It was all based on your own curiousity and initiative to track down various clues you'd discover while playing. Then you found out about the Umanu - which was often the last thing you ever did.Īgain, both games were very open ended, and you never had any sort of in game directive to "go do this to save the galaxy". The Spemin were the apparent bad guys in SF2, until you ventured too far into the cloud nebula.

Starflight 2 was most of the above, plus the addition of new races and technology, and the ability to conduct trade with other races. At least until after a few years game time had passed (which could take months to years real time) and your home system went nova. If you wanted, you could completely ignore what was going on in the galaxy around you and just spend your time mining away and improving your ship. It really was basically a sandbox game before they had sandbox games. You'd also start to hear stories from other races you encountered out in space - assuming you didn't screw up your attempts at communication and get yourself into a battle. You had to select and train your crew, each race had their own strengths and weaknesses, and so did the various options you could outfit on your ship.Īs you played through the game, you'd start to see odd occurances mentioned in the news/message boards, some warnings about areas of space where ships went missing, etc. You weren't given much, if any real direction at the outset, you simply got some credits, a really basic ship and that was it. You could attempt to land on any planet you liked, but setting down on one with a gravity of greater than about 12g was fatal, IIRC. Ancients, old Earth, Uhlek, Crystal Planet, the origin of Endurium, etc.Īll set in a world of some 300 star systems and 800 or so unique planets - all of which could be visited and many of those could be explored. Starflight - Stars going nova for unknown reasons, in a line from coreward to outward in the galaxy (IIRC). Hopefully since it's been about 22 years I don't need spoiler warnings. SF2 had more developed plot but I don't remember much of it. I don't remember SF1 having much of a plot.
