Tell me the best space games where I can command capital ships.

Supposely a new space game has the ablity to capture large ships because when you log off they are still there.
Not sure why fighters aren't the same. seems like a design flaw.
you know not putting your ship at a station and saving it from being capture.

X series minus Rebirth.
Homeworld 1 and 2 Remastered.

The one you posted. Star wars empire at war
>>322637762
Just a capital ship? Sins of a solar empire has you controlling capital ships with special abilities as well as managing fleets as well as intergalatic empire.

Starsector has simple controls and pretty talkative developers
its a pretty good game desu senpai
>>322638204
Yeah this, the majesty of spacecraft has never been done better than in Homeworld
Actually on that subject the only problems I've ever had with those games is that it focuses so much on the spaceships you never see any actually living beings except Karan. We have no fucking idea what any of the other species even look like. The Vaygr are the principle antagonists in two and you never see a single one unless you count Makan.

This. I can confirm it for X3 at least. The game suffers from some balance issues (clearing sectors with flamethrowers) and building aesthetically pleasing complexes is time-consuming at best and frustrating at worst. Aside from that, Pretty cool game.

Don't like the Remastered versions HW1 Remastered is not that great and HW2 already looks good enough that you can play the original.
Starshatter: The Gathering Storm. You start out as a fighter pilot, work your way up to capital ship captain. Personally, I prefer the destroyers better than carriers because carrier gameplay is you setting up fighter patrols. Needs a different kind of mindset.
Oh, and your fighter can dive into a planet and do flight sim shit. It's also sort of hard sci-fi, if you're in to that.
Oh and the missions/plot react to how good you are.

Rebirth's art style is so much better than the previous games though. I fucking love those stations. And the Solar Power Plants? I want to live inside one.
Star Citizen as a previous poster has mentioned, I have one, can't wait for it to enter the game in working order within the next few months.
>>322639130
>within the next few months
I doubt that. Maybe at 2018 by the pace they are going. Release at 2022 perhaps.
>>322638891
Please tell me more, how are the controls?
I'm not the OP but i really fucking love the idea of slow Gigantic ships fighting each other with pretty lights and google images is just hyping me up
>>322639120
Unfortunately that's pretty much the only thing it has going for it.
>>322637762
E.V.E Online, though it may take u a while unless u got some connections.
Why are Bwings called that when they look nothing like Bs
>>322637762
Starshatter: The Gathering Storm
>>322639429
The B stands for Beautiful.
>>322639429
The guy that created it called it the Blade Wing but everyone thought that was dumb and shortened it to B-Wing.
>>322639378
The fighter controls like your standard flight sim minus the gravity or with if you're on a planet. The capital ships control like Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Also something you and OP might like if you're into capital ships duking it out in space.
Starshatter is relatively old though but it is the best Adama simulator I've seen yet.
>think myself a hot shit because I've been given command of a carrier
>set up fighter patrols and missions from the comfort of my sector
>in my retardation enemy bomber reaches me while ALL of my fighters are refueling
>queue violin playing as I go down with my ship
And that's why I prefer torpedo destroyers. It's practically Silent Hunter in space when you command that. Minus the rendering the insides of the sub/ship.
>>322638891
too bad no seeds on any torrents
>>322640369
It's free to download on the owner's website now. Fully updated too, I think.
>>322640262
Last question, how hard is the game? it will sound masochistic but i fucking love seeing the AI outsmart me or use superior resources-strategies that i didn't think about to kill me
>>322640806
Pretty hard going in if you don't know shit about naval combat.
Basically, if you're a capital ship make sure you have fighter escort otherwise hostile ships that detect you will call in a bomber squad on your ass. Flaks work alright against fighters but bombers can kite you from afar and capital ships can't dodge that shit. Fighters can intercept both bombers and torpedo though.
I forgot to tell you that fuel is totally a thing and that's the main reason you'll loose fighters on extended missions. So if you're far from the carrier, you'll be vulnerable as a new escort arrives. I don't remember if the game easily allows the carrier to constantly refresh your escort without needing to micromanage it.
>>322640021
How's that stupid?
Its practically a blade/wing shape, and then you fold out the arms and you get the crossguard and handle.
>>322637762
Well, Angel's Fall First is in early access. You can command a capital ships and man their weaponry.
