This Lightspeed Edition is a massively enhanced version of the Award Winning indie strategy RPG, Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander. About Halcyon 6 ============= On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station and rebuild it.A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this starbase is the best chance for the New Terran Federation to establish new alliances, research new technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending invasion. Using only the resources you can salvage from the derelict station and gathered from nearby star systems, it’s up to you to rebuild the starbase to lead the Terran Republic’s scientific research, exploration and diplomatic efforts on the edge of known space. Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is a passion project whose design is inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL. Features: - Base Building: spend resources to build station facilities (rooms) to enhance your production and technological capabilities, or build ships to help you control more territory - Exploration: assign your fleets to nearby star clusters, where they can handle emerging enemy threats, do missions for alien factions or secure bonus resources - Crew Management: assign crew to station facilities to greatly improve their output efficiency, or to ships where they can contribute in unique ways to combat, missions and events - Deep Tactical Combat: fight tactical ship or ground battles to resolve hostile events, create a foothold in the sector and ultimately defeat the enemy mothership! - Story Events: based on game criteria like rooms-built, alien diplomacy scores or officer traits/skills, the game will produce story events (often with multiple choice outcomes) that can lead to combat, time-related applied bonuses/negatives, officer attribute changes or any number of crazy in-game stories. LIGHTSPEED EDITION ================ Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition brings together the original Halcyon 6 base game along with all of the additional content (Combat & Customization, Diplomatic Diversions, Loot’em Up, and Morale Booster updates) released since launch in Sept 2016 as well as brand new Lightspeed Edition optimizations and features as follows: Streamlined Campaign - Greatly speeds up progression and tightens the campaign to an action and adventure packed 12 hrs depending on your play style and pace Streamlined All Systems - For faster progression, including economy, starbase, resources, and officer levelling. New Officer Progression System With 6 subclasses, 3 Prestige classes, new skill tree, and over 20+ new Prestige/Epic powers. New Ship Loadout and Config Screen - Will let you customize loadouts (and save them) for your ships just before entering combat New Difficulty Mode - Called Vice Admiral and slightly increased difficulty across the board Enhanced Combat - Includes 25+ new alien faction space combat abilities, more combos for both players and enemies, increased faction weaknesses and resistances, and other balancing tweaks New UI Overhaul - Designed for greater readability and usability. Many many UI quality of life enhancements to all areas of the game, too many to list here. Information Seller:Massive Damage, Inc.

Thought I read that it would be $8.99. L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #10 L.Lawliet, Oct 19, 2017 Ahh this is tempting. The reviews seem somewhat mixed on Steam. I just used all my iTunes credit so I'm going to wait a bit for iOS impressions. maxbrickem Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2009 327 0 16 #11 maxbrickem, Oct 19, 2017 finally!!!woohooooooooo andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #12 andsoitgoes, Oct 19, 2017 Im in the same boat here # Apparently the Lightspeed expansion is supposed to really change things up and remove a lot of the problematic issues people had with the game prior, so Im a little hopeful. I see so many conflicting reviews but not a ton on the new expansion so... ugh. HelperMonkey Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2009 632 8 18 Iowa #13 HelperMonkey, Oct 19, 2017 I cant buy all the games I want from the last two weeks, and I cant even play all the games I buy! This game is now jostling around near the top of my list. Reading reviews saying its a bit jrpg, a bit xcom, a bit 4x, a bit FTL. Oh my! Checking all my boxes here! Steam reviews also mention that this Lightspeed Edition is much improved over the first release. Its not emphasized in the title, but this is that version, which is a nice treat for iOS. Unstablefan Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Feb 22, 2013 858 12 18 #14 Unstablefan, Oct 19, 2017 The JRPG part gives me pause, but everything else sounds so good I might pick this up tonight. Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #15 Gwarmaxx, Oct 19, 2017 hey Lawliet, you can't wait... you must get it, trust me! anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 703 113 #16 anthony78, Oct 19, 2017 Oddly enough, its that part that intrigues me. Im not big on FTL type games. Id be curious as to how much is combat driven vs micro management. stubbieoz Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2015 1,880 358 83 Male Grey haired gamer NSW Australia #17 stubbieoz, Oct 19, 2017 I'm in the same boat. I love my turn based combat games. Micro management games last about half an hour on my iPad. # khann Well-Known Member Apr 25, 2013 143 0 0 #18 khann, Oct 19, 2017 Anyone know if it.can sync from an iPhone to iPad like binding of Isaac? Bloodangel Well-Known Member Jan 19, 2011 1,824 46 48 Retail England #19 Bloodangel, Oct 19, 2017 I love FTL and wish it would come to iPhone. I also like star command, out there, xcom and cosmonautica.... battlevoid games are decent too. I dont know if to get this until see and read reviews, but it looks n sounds great! DTK Well-Known Member Aug 22, 2014 343 12 18 Marketing Berlin Germany #20 DTK, Oct 19, 2017 In German Appstore cost the game 7,99! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
