And in Captain Forever, when you lose your boosters you are dead in space. But since you are largely decked out in sub-purple gear, a head-on attack will leave you with very little intact. Different colours signify higher tech levels in Captain Forever: a purple ship has better armour, more powerful guns and stronger boosters than, say, the puny green class.
But tactics (and by tactics I mean flying in circles and taking cheap potshots at the other guys before they can fire at you) continue to apply as more powerful ships arrive. The maxim that a coward lives longer is at the core of the Captain Forever experience.Įventually you gather enough firepower to take on other ships, tearing them to pieces and grabbing any surviving parts. Often you swoop in like a vulture, circling a battle between more superior ships and quickly snatching parts before running off to a quiet corner and re-arranging yourself. But these are not decisions to be made at the scene of a massacre, mainly because other ships eager to take you apart tend to hover around. Even the guns have to be distributed evenly.

Booster placement must be balanced or the ship will chug along like a learner driver on a highway. Your ship must be streamlined, else it will veer to one side when flying around space. When attaching pieces to your ship, you have to take physics into account. Then run by not being where you were when the looting took place. Stash by pulling pieces near your ship (they snap on like magnets). There is no economy, just nab, stash, and run. 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. To beat a ship you have to eliminate its core, a red square surrounded by a clutter of other blocks, guns and boosters. 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. And survive you must, as there is no "triple A" in space. When a sleep-deprived pilot puts you in charge of his ship, you have to navigate the depths of Captain Forever, fighting other pilots for pieces of their ships to build the meanest spacecraft on the galactic block. But that doesn't stop you from tearing around, blowing up other ships, and slapping their debris onto your rig before running away from some angry bogeys flying in on your six.
