Gratuitous Space Battles v1.25 RIP incl Tribe Expansion Pack
─ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ─
Release Date : 08/12/2009 Protection : Nothing
Release Type : RIP 16x5.00MB Company : Positech

Release Notes:
Who needs backstory? Who needs resource-gathering? Diplomacy is so
last year. Gratuitous Space Battles cuts right to the chase of sci-fi
strategy games, and deals with large, completely unjustified space
battles between huge opposing space fleets.
Gratuitous Space Battles combines the visual appeal of an RTS, with
the addictive unit-placement and design gameplay from tower defense
games. In GSB, the player does not control individual ships at all
during battle. The ships fight to a pre-determined set of orders and
formations given to them by you before the battles.
GSB casts you as supreme space admiral, tasked with the design of
individual spaceships, and the composition of your fleet, as well as
general orders of engagement. This is not a twitch-based real time
arcade game like many an RTS, but a game of careful thought, planning
and big-picture strategy. Huge space battles can be won or lost
depending on just how cleverly you balanced the needs of defensive
shielding and armor against the expensive punch of laser cannons and
plasma torpedoes.
GSB also features an innovative multiplayer challenge system. You can
upload your ultimate fleet to serve as the enemy to other players, and
keep track of how many other players have won and lost against your
challenge. That way, you will never run out of cunningly designed
enemies to battle against!
4 different unlockable player races
Over 40 different ship hulls
Over 120 spaceship modules
Choice of skirmish vs AI, never-ending survival mode or play against
other playerÆs fleets with the online challenge system
Play with different rules as each battle has different spatial
anomalies to deal with.
version 1.25
1) Added support for totally separate mod folders
2) Fixed alt+tab black screen hang
3) Fixed bug where some rebel missile turrets would not render correctly
4) Fixed the rare but dreaded 'turret mapping not found' bug.
5) Added a trio of new mini buttons to the deployment screen to let
you filter the list of deployable ships by class.
6) Added confirmation dialog for when you quit the deployment screen
after making some changes
7) This time I really reckon I've fixed the display bug for larger
than 2048 width monitors...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The galactic war has gone on long enough. There is only one power in
this galaxy that has the common sense to bring the fighting to an end,
and now that power is about to be unleashed. Ladies, Gentlemen,
Entities, I present to you the almighty power of the pan-species
collection of idealistic space-hippies and bringers of galactic peace
(through a short-term period of intense furious stellar warfare) - The
TRIBE.
The Tribe are the latest race to enter the fray in Gratuitous Space
Battles. Known for their patronizing attitude and their use of kinetic
weapons, plus their cunning ability to somehow squeeze auto-repair
systems into frigates, the tribe are here to sort out the warring
factions and bring peace in our time.
The Tribe is an expansion pack for Gratuitous Space Battles. It's for
people who have played the original game enough that they crave new
ship designs and scenarios, and want more variety in the game.
Expansion packs and DLC often get a bad press, so I'll be 100% up
front about exactly what this pack contains and let you decide for
yourself if you think it's worth getting:
What The Pack Contains:
11 New ships. 4 Cruisers 3 Frigates and 4 fighters, all in a new
graphical style by the same artist who did the original GSB artwork.
1 New weapon type: The kinetic weapon. Basically autocannons,
howitzers etc. These fire rapid-fire bursts which are good at short
range, not so good at long range
Enhanced repair modules. The tribe are great at repair, and their
repair modules are race-specific and out-perform everyone else's.
New ship bonuses. The tribe ships have only half the shield and armor
strength of everyone else, but they have twice as strong hulls as
their opponents. This means Tribe ships seem to be on-fire and falling
apart for half the battle. It also means you need to re-think your
tactics.
2 New Scenarios. Two maps for you to fight against the tribe, or for
you to use in uploaded challenges with whichever fleet you like.
What The Pack does NOT contain:
Completely new gameplay modes, and major features that change how the
game plays, any new AI orders... basically anything that is not listed
in the list above. This is basically a data-pack with new ships, not a
sequel or gameplay re-write.
RIPPED: DirectX
