Space Haven S8: Downton Spaceby E03 | "Gaithwith smells the peasants"

In this season of Space Haven, we attempt to do a Downton Abbey challenge. In which I have to run a second ship full of WEALTHY ELITES who refuse to do any kind of work whatsoever.
This indie game comes from a VERY successful Kickstarter, and it looks like it could very well be one of my FAVOURITE new games. It reminds me of Firefly, in ALL the right ways. I hope you enjoy our SPACE adventure, come along with the team!
Embark on a space voyage with your ragtag crew of civilians in search of a new home. Build spaceships tile by tile, create optimal gas conditions, manage the needs and moods of their crew, encounter other space-faring groups, and explore the universe in this spaceship colony simulation.

[@forealus]

@23:41 All the leisure stations have full vision and someone to possibly recruit. You still have to pay for food though. Also, Haulers do respawn. Just ask @Greenbeef. It happens to him often. 😆😆

[@SolidContent]

hahaha oh shoot - I HATE that this is true. Also yessss, time to go to leisure stations!

[@rechnin6680]

You should call it the Hyperspace Houseboat Holmes...

[@rechnin6680]

Would that be a Newton's Cradle?

[@SolidContent]

ooooh nice nice I like it

[@stefanmcintyre]

+1 for planning tool. respawned haulers are the worst especially when they poop out new crawler eggs.

[@SolidContent]

yessss, I knew they did that...

[@stefanmcintyre]

@@SolidContent I about lost my mind when I saw a hauler poop out an egg.

[@SolidContent]

[@VIFFVDTCED]

high class name mycroft as in mycroft holmes

[@SolidContent]

oooooh Mycroft would be nice

[@rwulf]

Degradation of weapons? Oof. Last time I checked out this game, they had added an overwhelming amount of overdesigned micromanagey repair/maintenance mechanics. It all felt like grindy busywork. I hope they back up on that design policy and start adding in more interesting content rather than more plates to spin.

[@forealus]

You're not wrong, but I personally wouldn't mind adding in more tasks and management. What I like most about this game is the ability to customize my playthrough before I start. This way you can choose how mundane and monotonous you want you're play through to be. 😁

[@rwulf]

@@forealus To be fair to the game, I think they finally took a step in the right direction with the missions but they've also painted themselves in a corner as far as the basic design of the game. As it stands, this is an exploration game that does NOT reward exploration. Because you consume everything in your path, there is only one way to go and that's forward. Going back and poking around and experimenting with things is literally death. With that sort of situation, it's hard to implement useful quests because even the act of returning to report or deliver an item is incredibly dangerous. Not to mention it breaks immersion a little when you see these starbases or NPCs who never gather materials and rightly ask "Ok now that I'm supposed to treat these as actual people, how the hell do they survive???"

[@SolidContent]

I think this opens a great discussion into the design and future dreams of the game
