Star Trucker

The concept of the game is okay, is basically a truck simulator in a space setting. What is NOT OKAY, is the tediousness of the whole repair/system management. The concept is great, but the execution is not. Batteries should be rechargeable, and buying them from the shops should be used only for upgrading to have more capacity. God forbid you try to do some immersion ad rest in a dedicated parking area for, you know, sleep.... because if you do so everything will continue to discharge! I tried to sleep for two hours and i lost consciousness from asphyxiation! Dedicated parking should combine a recharge mechanic for electrical and air. Subsystems should be repairable at the repair shop (for an extra fee) and manual repairs /swapping batteries should be more for the emergency cases. The docking mechanic is tedious, cargo of course makes sense... but why i have to dock manually in all the shops and the job boards with the exception of the repair shop where you just have to park in front of it? It is especially tedious since movement feels strange, it's like having input lag. Last but not least... the damned cargo flying everywhere is extremely frustrating! Every time you brake violently, hit debris or you change the damn battery of the gravity generator things fly everywhere because there isn't some way to fix your cargo to the ship with something like straps/nets or maybe some king of magnetic crates or lockers! Honestly i regret buying this game. I have played truck simulator before and i expected a similar experience but in a sci-fi setting, but this id nowhere near that.

I hate this damn game! The physics throw you all over the place and unless you have experience playing a trucker sim, this game is not for you. The controls are wonky, the pitch is hard and good luck dealing with 90% of the problems the game throws at you. I died three times within the first two hours of playing this damn thing. I regret buying this!

Game performs poorly on my machine, but my machine is outdated, and it still performs at the same level as other games I ended up requesting a refund becuase I can't handle the controls well with my hands, but they are intuitive, and everything is clearly explained and very well designed, if you want to feel like a trucker in space, yeah this'll do it in hindsight, I think I'm going to try again, but take it a lot slower, when I have the money to buy it again

Star Trucker ist ein richtig besonderes gutes Spiel. Das mir 73 Std voller spaß und Freude gegeben hat

晕3D的用户请谨慎购买，真要玩的话请备好晕车药（不是在游戏内备药！）

when's the Lot Lizard Update?

honestly a really good game, is relaxing, and i think that finishing a contract feels really rewarding.

Star Trucker is a really awesome blend of space game and simulator. It's approachable and let's the player have complete customization on difficulty settings and how the game plays (more sim, vs more story, vs more mechanical, etc). It's got a great balance on "grind" that gives you the simulator feel of "getting work done" but doesn't demand 100's or 1000's of hours of your time to complete. Mission rewards are marginal at best early in making your first few upgrades feel really rewarding as you scrape by but also risky because a bad crash can leave you with a hefty repair bill that makes you think twice before running wide open through a debis field. I was also was impressed with the way the story plays out. What seems like odd side jobs at first blends together in a solid way. The characters on the CB Radio keep the game feeling alive and bring a lot of great and authentic feeling personality to the game that would otherwise just be a quiet and monotonous grind through the void. The skill tree and progression is cleverly linked to "certifications" that unlock different types of jobs while the story drives unlocking new tools and areas in a way that works really well together. Letting the player pick and choose how quickly to progress or what types of jobs to specialize in makes it feel more like a open space sand box to play in.. this also keeps the challenges varied as different areas present different challenges while different types of jobs can completely change the way the truck handles or your approach to how you drive. Truck upgrades feel meaningful and very much impact the way your truck performs in a noticeable way; while cosmetics are unlocked through challenges and achievements which feels rewarding and when combined with heavy penalties on damage, repairs, or not following the rules (i.e. skipping out on a weigh station) - creates a lot of immersion and attachment to the truck. Lastly I'll say the universe is beautiful and satisfying to explore. Each sector I've seen so far has a different look and feel or sometimes new hazards involved. The soundtrack is good and lends itself to the characters, the world building, and that "trucker" feel too.. albeit the playlist was pretty short. The other "Truck Sim Stations" you can change to on the radio are a good way to hold up that shortfall but the songs there are modern day hits and can sometimes feel out of place depending on what's playing.. All in all - impressed with Star Trucker and highly recommend. Honestly, Ive always been curious about these "truck sim" games but was hesitant for fear of them being boring... Despite seeing people dump 1000's of hours into them... But I also love space games. The "Firefly Universe" is something I sorely miss and this game feels very similar to that, Hard space Shipbreaker, and others like it. Not sure how this would compare to ETS or ATS but Star Trucker seemed like the perfect introduction into these types of games in a setting I already knew and loved.
