Space Rangers HD: A War Apart remasters and expands the world of the cult classic Space Rangers 2. The game is developed by the SNK-Games team in close cooperation with fans of the series.
The biggest of the improved features is a new scenario dedicated to the pirates threatening the galaxy. While the Coalition spends all of its resources to fight the Dominators (sentient machines who seek to eradicate all life), the pirates have united under the banner of a mysterious leader. Under this new master they have begun their own guerrilla war to seize power in the weakened Galaxy. Players can now choose with whom to deal, the Dominators or the pirates, or both at the same time. If you choose the latter path, you will receive new story and side quests, new goals and promotions. After winning one of the wars, you can either finish the game or continue playing to win another.
Players begin their pirate career as the lowest of the low, and will make their way to the top of the pirate hierarchy, completing story missions and learning new information about the organization and its unknown leader whose actions threaten the very existence of the Coalition of sentient species. All player actions affect what kind of place the Galaxy will be at the end, with the victorious Coalition that managed to overcome its enemies or with a collapsed alliance from both external Dominator and internal pirate pressures.
The game has received a major technical overhaul in addition to the addition of new content. All of the main menu, loading screens, planet and space station vistas were reworked. Now you can choose a display resolution of up to 1920×1200 and planetary battles employ modern render technologies.
New pirate subplot - After completing any one of the story branches a player can either end the game, or continue playing to complete another branch. the player’s actions influence the entire Galaxy, while the balance in either of wars may be tipped not only by the player, but by AI actions as well. No two playthroughs will be the same.
Major technical overhaul - Display resolutions up to 1920×1200, multi-core processors, Windows® 7, and anti-aliasing in 3D planetary battles are now fully supported.
Other improvements include more than 10 new text adventures, 15+ planetary battle maps, 20+ government missions, unique non-story events, new equipment and micromodules, access to all hyperspace engagements from the main menu and more!

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I've played and enjoyed this game for quite a few years. But lately, every so-called update has been deleting codes that helped me enjoy this game, MY way. They were CTRL-SHIFT codes that gave me a chance to play the way I wanted. NOW, after several updates, they're mostly gone and/or not working anymore and these changes were not documented in ANY way.
Be careful about buying games that are being crapped out right under your noses. With "updates" that clearly don't do anything but remove functionality that you've already paid for !
Question:
Do you, as a gamer, want to feel dumb? If so, by all means, get this game and play it.
Space Rangers HD is a complex game with everything an RPG-Sci-fi-Old-School-Text-based-quest player could ever want..
so it looks on the surface, but in reality it is a horrible mess of cow pies.
No GOG room for fine details, so here's how it goes (I am a Merchant Ranger and my reputation with EVERY faction is 'Excellent':
- My Leadership is low, I am not trying to recruit any wingmen. Another ranger says he loves me and wants to be my wingman. I accept. Next turn (for NO reason) he says he is disappointed and wants to put me out of my misery. He does not leave me. He attacks;
- I am on my way on a delivery mission... ANOTHER ranger (and my scanner labels him as Bandit) demands that I pay 2000 credits or else. I say I don't have that much money. He attacks
- (see above) . There are military patrols in the area. I hail them and ask for help. They say they see no justification for attacking a ranger (AS IF I AM NOT A RANGER BEING ATTACKED BY ANOTHER RANGER TURNED BANDIT). He is attacking me. I fight back. The military vessels gang up on me.
- as Merchant, I have 'Excellent' reputation with ALL factions (including pirates). I deliver a stasis pod to a planet (turns out later it was a pirate planet) on behalf of the government of a major faction. OK, I've been used. I can see that… but what happens next makes not sense at all:
- everyone is happy. As a gesture of good will the pirates return some lost equipment. Once I deliver it, the whole sector with whom I have Excellent reputation gangs up on me… but I avoid and evade. Deliver the goods and grab some diplomatic documents to deliver back to the pirates…
-- Once I make it to the pirate sector, those pirates who were in love with me a few turns ago are now attacking me...
No room on GOG reviews to tell you everything, but I hope I've saved you some time and cash.
