The CD key he posted is actually real. He talked with the devs and they allowed it for the free advertisement.

Funny thing is, when Seth put out this video, so many people tried to purchase the game that their webserver crashed.

[@Akabans999]

Lol rly? Though did increased popularity stay or it was temporary?

[@kaybe9793]

@@Akabans999 It's a single player game, and since it's not on steam, there's no metrics about the active player base. The modding forum and reddit seem pretty active.

[@mathdarven5634]

And remember it was after Sseth gave us his CD key, meaning that anyone could just have downloaded the game and played for free.

[@Reinhard96]

Starsector is the game that Elite: Dangerous wishes it was.

[@tty841]

I’d say it’s more like X series, elite dangerous is more simulation oriented. My only criticism for X4 is it’s performance, good graphic comes at a cost, which this game doesn’t have to pay, making it a good alternative.

[@AcidiFy574]

​@@tty841 I actually have the entire X3-collection

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

The free key actually boosted their sales through the roof. Sseth has a bit of a Midas’ Touch for games he reviews.

[@Tucker0603]

As someone who plays starsector, it's a fun game, was randomly charting systems for goodies....stumbled on a Legion class battlecarrier (XIV battleground type). next two systems...two astral class carriers, in the span of three systems I went from having my biggest ships being missile cruisers to being a full fledged carrier group, and now I have my favorite ship from beating a bounty, Paragon class battleship.

since sseth released the video there has been a few updates now you can get "contacts" which are bussiness partners that (sometimes) reliably give good paid jobs

[@friendlywallflower7521]

It's an excellent game. The modding community makes it even better.

[@chazyboy1823]

You should totally do a Starsector stream. I bet you'd have an absolute blast

[@Guardian-of-Light137]

Sseth's key still works. Just got the game 2 days ago. Didn't pay a penny. Feel bad getting it for free but I have no money right now and really wanted to play it. I do plan on paying for it when I have the chance though. I ALWAYS support developers I like and that put out good non money hungry products. Passion projects are the way to go with gaming in my books. I'll take something carefully and passionately crafted over a decade over some unfinished mess coughed up in a few rushed months any day.

[@Archris17]

Hey, you paid for your copy eventually, right? :P

[@Guardian-of-Light137]

@@Archris17 Never got around to it cause of bill reasons. But I do have every intention of paying for it eventually. For a game this good they deserve the money.

[@DefaultFlame]

The key still works and the devs are fully aware. (Sseth's is the first video in their FAQ.) That is confidence in your product, and people respect that. (As is shown in their sales figures.)

[@LtWoolfe]

This Game Is so much fun. Theirs also a ton of sweet mods for it

[@ukaszgrzesik7231]

My most played game in last few years. With mods it has unlimited replayability. What I find most amazing that alk thise mods that add new ships and factions usually do not cause compatibility issues with each other and game AI can use new ships and weapons reasonably well. If you have enough ram you can run dozens of mods at once.

[@Bronasaxon]

“Can’t build anything new because of DRM and copyright laws” …that seems depressingly plausible

[@trifontrifonov4297]

The only "critique" I have for Starsector is that because the modding community is small (yet really good), when a new version of the game drops it can break some of the older mods and you may have to wait for the mod creators to fix them if they are still part of the modding community. Like a said it's a "critique" the same way a McDonald's is technically food. Otherwise 10/10 my ice planet colony is doing just fine, thank you very much.

[@MasterofMistakes]

This on some level feels like 'Rogue Trader', makes me more hype for that game.

[@mgh7634]

it's so good. Seriously even if you can't afford it, Sseth CD key is still active (and likely will be forever). I highly recommend anyone play it as its so feature rich and has such an amazing dev team and mod community.

[@etlttc353]

nice name at the start

[@themalcontent100]

AI isn’t evil. It just learns how to be a better asshole from us.

[@dess1619]

I bought this a few years ago and started actually playing it recently. It is amazing and deserves far more praise.

[@AvenDruid]

Love seeing the Mauler in media.

[@gatosorprendido5279]

Good video

[@calanor4130]

One of my favourite games of all time! I suggest checking out the Nexerelin mod, though. Many players consider it a must, as it expands on the vanilla game without deviating from its core concepts. It also makes the game more 4X, which really, _really_ suits this game. As an old Elite fan, I consider Starsector to be a bit like a 2D Elite with fleets and (potential) colony management.

[@joearnold6881]

Wait people are reacting to… game reviews now?? Times are strange

[@landonsorenson9278]

Got this game because of Sseth. Worth it

[@hunterwilliams2833]

One of the best games I’ve ever played. For $15 it is a steal.

[@SebastianA.W.]

it's really good.

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

I remember when this game just came out it was called starfarer name had to be changed due to copyright man I feel old now haha

[@TheRotten1166]

Eve online wish it was this good

[@scp2539]

fun thing to know about the economy side of the game. if you have 2 colonies demanding 9 of x you only need to produce 10 of x to supply both colonies. with mods and cheating you can get raw production super high but even with mods the refined goods barely increase. i play heavily modded so i can f off into the corner of the sector and then terraform the planets into the earth like planets and remove all their hazards so theyre easier to live on and produce more money.

[@tereninsecundus6084]

This reply is more for people that come after: The 'produces X number of Y goods' is not a total supply in raw numbers, as in, can now supply two words that demands 4 if you have 9 in supply and have 1 spare... the 'has X for Y type of goods' mean you can supply ANY WORLD THAT DEMANDS UP TO 9 ITEMS OF THAT TYPE. I you want to keep your internal economy strong and your foundries demand 6x ore income to keep churning out refined materials, you only need 1 mining colony that provides 6x Ores, or more... and if a foreign colony needs 8x or whatever and you meet that supply, you could export to them that number. That's why the sooner you get a very lucrative colony to make a massive load of anything, all the big powers start getting jelly because you are such a good supplier.

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

Just Rogue Trader things

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

One more thing regarding AI grades. A Gamma-grade AI... it's super fucking good, but still essentially just a calculator. This is the sort of thing it might be reasonable to have manage a port or a logistical network. Beta-grade AI are made with the degree of flexibility you might consider it reasonable to apply to a warship, or a research facility. It can self-adjust with ease, but it can't fundamentally change its method of operation or its task & purpose. Alpha grade AI are complex enough to be fully sapient. This is why they are effective, and also why they are terrifying. The old saw went; a person who can think and feel, in the moment they're needed, might hesitate or flinch or freeze up or double-guess themselves. A drone has no mind to think - no will to break. Regarding drones, as soon as target lock is acquired there's nothing preventing a weapon release other than physics, programming and calculus. An Alpha Core is not limited by anything listed here, and is by design and function an order of magnitude greater than how well organic brains are able to think.

[@andrewvaldez8866]

I totally recommend that CD key I tried it totally works and I’ve been playing the game ever since I suck at it though and my computer can’t really run it but I totally recommend it if you’re interested also just found your channel really like it so far 👍

[@Archris17]

How demanding can it be? I've never had issues. Or is your PC just a potato hooked up to a calculator?

[@Archris17]

If you love 4X games, then you'll want the Nexerelin mod. Ot just turns the game into 4X for you. Enjoy!

[@thelion2751]

This game is great I literally just make the imperium of man and the covenant in one how? Fucking destroying every faction in war like sseth did

[@0kisshun0]

new update droped a few days ago, yes the game it still alive.
