*The* best space fleet command simulator
This was a personal favourite from my old DOS days, so delighted (and instant buy along with ROE 1, Breach 1 and Breach 2) on GOG. Dynamic branching campaigns Highly configurable ship control panels Immediate command over your flagship, with order delays to the other ships in your fleet based on their distance AI commander profiles, so other ships were not guaranteed to follow your orders exactly Fantastic tactical combat, where you would sling-shot past enemies, rotate your shields to keep the fresh sides facing the enemy as your weakened shields regenerate And boarding actions that could be either programmatically simulated battles, or launched with Breach 2 (and later, Breach 3, though it was very buggy) to switch to an X-Com type assault as your marines board the enemy vessles. Deep, rewarding, and incredibly fun. With built-in scenario and campaign editor. There was a mass of user scenarios (including a brilliant Kobayashi Maru scenario that I once completed by purely knocking out the engines of the enemy ships without having to destroy them, leaving them floating harmlessly in space whilst I went about the rescue). You can probably still find these on the interwebsuperhighway. The gripes ... Because its a DOS Box release, there's no immediate way to link with Breach 2 (ROE2 and Breach 2 will install to two separate DOS Box drive instances), so will need to spend a little time figuring that out. ROE2 is fantastic in its own right, but being able to link in with Breach 2 is an added bonus. And unforgiveable ... the ~260 pages of manuals is missing. If you already know and loved ROE2, you'll not need this (though it would have been nice for nostalgia), but if you've never played ROE2 before, this really is a must to get you up to speed with the game. Its by no means a daunting learning curve, but its good to know the ins-and-outs of things - especially the 20+ page tutorial.
