Space Game News 2/5-12/13 Highlights: The Almost Human Edition…

Hey guys, I’m back, kinda! Stiilllll feeling under the weather, but decidedly more human than I have in a week. Yay! To that end, I’m gonna go over the highlights of the news from the past week because I have neither the time or the energy to list eeeeverything, and will try to resume normal news posting tomorrow. Here we go!

• Drox Operative – Apparently there’s an expansion coming! Yay! If it’s as good as Demon War was for Din’s Curse, it’s gonna be amaaaaaazing.
• Buzz Aldrin’s Space Program Manager – This was finally and formally announced last week, and I can’t WAIT to learn more.
• Angular Velocity – This is an upcoming game similar to the classic SubSpace that I was just informed about, and it looks cool.
• Predestination – There’s a new blog entry detailing the new colony system that looks pretty cool.
• Deep Space Settlement – Over on the game’s forums there’s a detailed entry on modding.
• EVE Online – Apparently Retribution 1.1 will be deployed on February 19th. On the official site, there are blogs on upcoming ship skill changes, recruitment changes and a new story from CCP Gnauton. On The Mittani, they have news of a new Goonswarm newbie guide.

Finally in non-game-specific news, Star Sector has a new article focusing on empires and races in 4X games.
