Fun, rough-edged, Firefly simulator
Rebel Galaxy is not terribly deep, and this is not merely a pun on its navigation. You won't find the likes of X3's intricacies, or Freespace 2's excellent plot, or 3D flight at all, but what is there I would describe as a fun Han Solo or Firefly simulator in partial 3D with a distinctive Southern US twang. Dropping you into a distinctly rusty end of space, the relatively thin plot is a convenient excuse for you to make a great deal of money and convert that into better equipment, larger ships, and more pretty explosions. The combat is satisfying if not sophisticated, and not since Freespace 2 have I had as much fun with beam lasers and cannon fire glittering inbetween the stars. Each outpost within each system is its own little political microcosm which produces and imports certain goods, but can vary due to being at war, or in famine, or in a tech boom etc. You can gain reputation with factions around the systems by doing missions for them, or just interfering as you see fit. Respond to a distress call, help out a trader under attack, and Citizenry will gain some reputation and the trader will give you some money. You can trade with that trader directly or you can go the route of the pirate, demand they hand over their cargo, or destroy a relief ship on the way to a famine-stricken world and thereby inflate food prices higher. The choice is yours & as a playground, Rebel Galaxy is quite interesting if a little static for those looking for true sandboxes. Great if shallow fun for a few days. Some finishing tips: Hull and equipment in it are unlinked; you can finish the game in a corvette or a dreadnaught; just a matter of how much firepower you have in turrets vs speed. Missions are where the money and rep is; just beware escort and protect missions that might intersect unfortunately with the game universe's varying behaviour. Get Rank 8 with Merchants Guild to get EMP ablation. If you hate the music, you can hook custom soundtracks (but I loved the themes).
