Captain Forever - It's like lego, IN SPACE!
Well, not really, but kinda.

http://www.captainforever.com/captainforever.php

'The latest game from indie-maverick Farbs is a build-your-own-spaceship experience, but instead of trawling through shopping menus and tweaking your jalopy to a mean pirate-killing machine, you run-and-gun between the stars, blowing up other ships and taking what's left. To beat a ship you have to eliminate its core, a red square surrounded by a clutter of other blocks, guns and boosters. Once the core is turned into space dust, the remaining parts float free, allowing you to to grab and slap them onto your own ship wherever you like. There is no economy, just nab, stash, and run. Nab with the left mouse button. Stash by pulling pieces near your ship (they snap on like magnets). Then run by not being where you were when the looting took place.'



I wish I knew about this game earlier. It's quite fun. The interface and graphics are really simple, but it's still pretty much awesome.

The game is free, but they do give you an option to register for $20, which also gives you access to the sequel, Captain Successor. It basically is the same thing with a bunch of new weapons and all that kind of stuff.

If you decide to try the game out, I suggest taking a few min to read this as it explains the basic idea of how to play the game. The actual site doesnt really give a good explanation of what you actually have to do


I didnt see a thread on this, and of course search is disabled, so yea. :V If the thread was already made, then whatever.

Don't worry about threads already being made and stuff, as long as they're not close by(a few pages away or so). I'll delete all the duplicates once the search button is up and running again.
A true scot.
Wow, I like this game. Thanks for finding this, Mosier!
Added the game to my favs, also +rep.
[04:34] <siku> i can already tell you 2 are awful since piratez is a terrible clan that cares about post count above everything else
Awesome!

EDIT: Survived 23 minutes, anyone wanna challenge that? Here's the link to my most recent ship, not my glorious 23 minuter though ;_;.

Bump, trying to hack it now.

Update:
I'm going to keep track of my findings here.

Detached Prismatic Rainbow Gun:

This is the best I've found atm. Lets you start the game as if you were starting normally except that the best gun in the game is to the left of you. This means that you can export codes still.

Super-Rainbow Ship:

If you die with this you suck.

These are some codes needed to start the game with a Rainbow Hull and where it is in relation to your ship. This is mainly what I'll be building off of.

http://www.captainforever.com/captai...cfe=nqlbq1nagn WEST

I've also encountered some glitches such as having two ships connected to each other as well as things being able to be attached to guns.

Wiggi must love me forever now.
I'm pretty sure I beat the game.
I've gone on for like half an hour without anything being able to remotely damage me.

I just started going as fast as I could into other ships while shooting and I'd come out the other side and they'd already exploded lol
