Cutting through the galaxy.



<span class="bold">Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection</span>, the comprehensive package of turn-based 4X gameplay, real-time space battles, and intergalactic exploration, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

If you happen to find yourself in a space fight, bringing a sword is hardly going to do you any good. How about a fleet of sword-shaped spaceships, though? Yeah, those might actually provide you with the firepower needed to conquer the treacherous far reaches of the galaxy and establish your own interstellar empire.

Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection is all about carefully building an armada that feels unique, unleashing it upon the unsuspecting galaxy through the magic of faster-than-light travel, and blowing your opponents to smithereens in real-time space combat. Since the inclusion of the three DLCs, there are six playable alien factions in total, each with their own preferred technologies and ships, as well as distinct physiology. Player-designed ships and a huge variety of scenarios promise to keep you engaged for dozens of hours, as you hop between star systems, trading, raiding, colonizing, and laser-blasting your way to intergalactic domination.



Build a spacefaring empire and cut the galaxy any way you like with your <span class="bold">Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last until March 15, 4:59 PM GMT.

IronArcturus: Is there a way to adjust the resolution for the SotS windowed mode? The only resolution that's listed is 1024x768.
avatar
ElTerprise: Change the resolution in the config.cfg. Worked for me. I now have a 16x9 windowed mode.

Edit: typo
I went into the "display.cfg" file and changed the top resolution and it worked! Thanks for the help! :)

Also, is there a way to get rid of the End Turn timer? It keeps counting down for 3 seconds for some reason.

You're welcome. Was curious about that myself :)

I don't know - haven't found a possibility for that yet...

Is there a list of shortcuts in the game? Like a keyboard shortcut for the End Turn button? Also, is there a reason why after every turn it says "sys-tem up-date..."

Interesting release. I didn't really like The Pit but I'm sure I'll enjoy this one.

Where is the 1.5.5 patch for Sword of the Stars: The Pit? the patch was released over a year ago on Steam, but we are still waiting for that patch on GOG.

How can GOG find the time to release a new game from the developer, but not the time to update their older games?

Well there is a keybindings screen in the options menu. It's been several years since i played that game. Might just be some some soft of oddity like the end turn countdown.

I guess it's due to the fact that The Pit is self-published here while SOTS is published by Paradox Interactive...
That being said i generally have to agree - that's not acceptable. Same with the missing Mac and Linux builds for it...

I still don't understand why SotS:The Pit still has multiple installers. One would think they would have some kind of "complete" version with all the DLC packed into one installer...

Probably because they are still planning for more DLC packs: http://www.kerberos-productions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=56&amp;t=55344

But surely they need to understand that having that many separate installers only causes problems. Why can't they combine at least some of the DLC/installers?

Vitek: I know this game has fairly big support but I am not fan of it.
Just by curiosity, which are the 4x you would advice/you like ?

And alongside some suggestions I saw in the thread (Master of Orion 1 & 2, Galactic Civilization 2), I personally strongly recommend Star Ruler 2 too :) (and AI War, of course)

They can't if they are going to keep on selling the DLC packs separately and since GOG doesn't offer a custom way to create a bundled installer, I don't see this situation changing for the better anytime soon.

This is an excellent space 4x, for sure. One of the best I've played.

Now that would be cool if GOG could create a bundled installer. I wonder if that is possible...
