Космические рейнджеры 2: Доминаторы

Космические рейнджеры 2: Доминаторы - more than two hundred years after the defeat of the Klisans, the galaxy is again in danger: Dominators, machines that need power over all living things, have appeared on its outskirts. Governments have to hire free pilots, and the player becomes one of these mercenaries. Trade, piracy, saving colonies and bounty hunting are available immediately, without regard to the plot. The world here lives on its own. While the ship is hanging in the dock, somewhere there is a battle with pirates, someone is storming the planet, someone is carrying an important official; news about this comes through the network, and you can respond, or you can ignore it and go about your business. Even the player’s complete inaction does not stop this whirlwind, and the map changes without his participation. The basis is the role-playing part: buying and upgrading a ship, selecting a hull, engines, guns and shields, hiring a crew, repairing the docks, working as a courier or a bounty hunter. There is also a text mini-game about landing on planets, where the squad fights in turn-based skirmishes with local fauna and bandits. The Dominator storyline progresses through government missions, but if you want, you can fly for fun for years, making a fortune on trade routes. Battles take place in real time with a pause for orders, and losses in battle cost money and time. Defeated pirates and Dominators leave behind debris that can be sold or disassembled into parts for your ship. Hypertransit between systems wastes fuel and time, so the route is usually planned in advance. For everyone who misses space sandboxes, where freedom of choice is more important than the plot corridor.
