NWS- Rule the Waves 2

[ArizonaTank]

Yeah. I was waiting for the missile and jet age dlc, but I want to support these guys and went ahead and got it. Seems like a better system than the old too.

RtW2 is a great game IMHO. Proof positive that you don't need great graphics to have a great game.

But if RtW2 and Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts had a baby...I would be in heaven.

Definitely.

I always dreamed of seeing the RTW ship designer in a sci-fi game like Aurora. That would be getting close to my ideal game. LoL

^I've been waiting for something like that forever too.

The ship design features in Aurora are extremely detailed...like EXTREMELY. But there is no visual component to it. Even seeing a silhouette of the vessel with locations for weapons and module placement would be awesome. 

[Gusington]

Yeah I need something visual - a silhouette would be perfect. Or to take things further a system like the one in Ultimate Admiral...it's not perfect but it is definitely fun.

That will most likely never happen in Aurora or any game with its depth. But, hey, its ok to dream, right?

Maybe one day in the far future GameLabs will put together a spacefaring game...

Interesting news, they have now removed the drm from the game after having issues with it.  No longer part of the game.  Although respect authors protecting their work, wasn't necessarily a fan of how it was implemented.

Not super surprising, their DRM scheme always seemed like a big PITA to manually manage.

It's only surprising based how strong they defended the need for it when released and how it would never be a problem for customers.

But times change and glad they revisited it....kudos to them.

+1 kudos to them.

[CJReich46]

Hmmm this might change things then.

If you buy the game now by digital download, would that have the drm?  Just thought of buying it.  Thanks

They released the above patch to remove their drm.  I would assume any new purchases wouldn't have it to start with.  Even if it did, applying the patch would remove it.
