About PULSAR: Lost Colony
Team up with friends to command a starship across a chaotic randomized galaxy, with each player manning a specialized station—Captain, Pilot, Scientist, Weapons Specialist, or Engineer—that demands constant coordination to survive combat, exploration, and away missions. The game rewards tactical communication and creative problem-solving, whether you're managing ship power, piloting through debris, hacking enemy systems, blasting targets, or boarding hostile vessels in fast-paced co-op action for up to five players online, offline with customizable AI, or in full VR.
Control the various stations that run your ship. Reroute power between ship systems, operate turrets, run powerful programs, scan enemy vessels for information to give you an edge in battle, or start up the warp drive to escape a fight you cannot win. The strategies you use are up to you—or your Captain.
Embark on missions, investigate abandoned stations, and scavenge for components that could aid you in your voyage. Teleport down to the surfaces of planets where you may face extreme environments and dangerous creatures. Trek across the galaxy, and discover what lies on its fringes.

The Captain
Nearly every major decision of a voyage falls into the Captain’s hands. With clear communication and resolve, the Captain must be the link that coordinates the actions of the entire crew. As the Captain determines the route the crew will take—through both the galaxy itself and the hard choices they encounter—success is more often than not a reflection of his or her leadership.
The Pilot
The Pilot is responsible for flying the ship and navigating across sectors of space. Through management of different flight controls, a Pilot must maneuver the ship through debris, position it effectively during combat, and align it to the next sector for warp. Despite various flight styles in the field, most Pilots become one with their ships and make them extensions of themselves.
The Scientist
Scientists provide the crew with medical assistance and information about their current environment. As they possess superior technological prowess, Scientists have the responsibility of overseeing sensor sweeps, ship security, the breaching of enemy firewalls, and research. Furthermore, their skills are invaluable when developing strategies or exploring alien planets.
The Weapons Specialist
Guns, turrets, nukes—the Weapons Specialist manages them all. Operating lasers, missiles and any other combat related technologies, Weapons Specialists have the greatest direct impact in battle, and their aim can greatly sway the outcome of a fight. Apart from ship-to-ship combat, Weapons Specialists are also crucial in ship boarding and investigations of hostile environments.
The Engineer
The Engineer keeps the ship running. In addition to charging the warp drive and manning the startup switchboard, Engineers must continually maintain and repair vital ship systems, as well as control ship power flow to prevent overheating. Engineers make the most out of a reactor’s capabilities and balance power allocation for the greatest possible output.

Very close to being an incredible game, BUT The ai crewmembers are dumb as hell. Crappy pathfinding, unable to navigate many missions and situations There seems to be some sort of huge bug with saving and loading. Talent points disappear, and are unable to be re-spent unless you travel to one of the re-spec points. Very annoying if you aren't close. If you defeat a boss and die before saving, when you reload the boss will stay dead, despite you having not defeated them that save or gotten the loot. The races aren't so much cool as they are clunky. Tight corners that the ship physics force you to take a 5kph, even with the best upgraded thrusters.1 found this helpful
Played this with my son and had an absolute blast. Worth the price of entry.1 found this helpful

I loaded in and got lost in a collosal city with enormous walkways between areas that took literal minutes to walk through and had nothing in them. An empty, lifeless game.
Certified hidden gem
