![]() Kudos to the environmental team – this place feels like the Krenim Weapon Ship. One thing you can say about this featured episode is that the environments are incredible. Take the time to see the station, walk around and come back to trigger him to proceed to the next introduction. ![]() Once you beam over to the station – stop – and don’t trigger the welcoming statement from the Klingon aide. A quick count of the Armada in the background makes it the largest task force ever assembled in Star Trek Online. The mission begins with a briefing in the Kyana system near the Delta Gateway, and home to the Alliance/Krenim Research facility and a quickly gathering strike force. Unless you’re actually tuned into the featured episodes and a few STF’s, the Iconian War so far has felt like something happening to someone else. To be honest there hasn’t been a sense of urgency, partly do to the limited effect the Iconians are having in the rest of the game. The latest featured episode certainly cranks up the war to a new level. On my second run, I came to a screeching halt with a bug. It wasn’t game-ending frustration, but I get the impression that today’s launch delay may have had an impact on the game which is still being felt tonight. Forever Skies is coming to Early Access on Steam on the 22nd of June 2023.Despite the efforts of the past several weeks, this mission was loaded with Lag Spikes. If you enjoy survival games, then this one is looking to be a little different, so it is definitely worth keeping an eye on as the game progresses. The game currently is very focused on survival and exploration, but there are plans to include more threats both above and below the dust, including combat. The ever-circling dust down below is a constant highlight.įorever Skies is entering Early Access and the developer has plans to expand the story elements throughout as well as implement cooperative play at a later date. ![]() The visuals can be quite beautiful at times, with the weather effects standing out in particular. The atmosphere of the game is well-crafted, somehow managing to feel desolate and claustrophobic whilst being set high in the clouds. Combined with trying to maintain your hunger, thirst, and fatigue whilst balancing making discoveries. Your new home becomes a target as the world itself seemingly strives to remove you from it violent rainstorms, lightning, and debris from the world below all try to rip your airship apart. Your abilities will also improve as you make new tools such as the Extractor - a hand-held resource-gathering tool - and the Location Radar, which indicates points of interest visually, making more informed choices possible. This is where you’ll scavenge from the many derelict - but still mostly standing - structures as you learn new technologies and piece together what has happened from logs and other pieces of environmental storytelling.Īs you float your airship to each glowing beacon in the distance, you’ll discover how to expand your craft, as you’ll make it larger by increasing the number of floors with ladders. Once done, however, you are free to explore the lonely, but at times quite beautiful, skies. The game teaches you the basics of survival, collecting and cleaning water, luring food from the toxic dust below, and dealing with disease at this point. This is your opportunity to survive and try to complete your vague task. After making your way through these initial structures as the game teaches you the basics, you encounter an airship.Ī broken-down airship that some people were trying to patch together but… didn’t. ![]() Some corpses hold onto logs that show that paranoia had set in with people just trying to survive. Initial discoveries as you leave your pod show that no one has seemingly made it. You return to the surface in a crashed pod after receiving some kind of signal with a vague message to recover a virus. Some catastrophe has affected the planet, humanity clearly erected huge structures to avoid whatever the aftereffects were, but it very obviously failed. The new survival game Forever Skies takes that idea and ruins your dreams in this post-apocalyptic vision. The idea of floating above the hustle and bustle, with the everyday masses far below out of earshot is such an idyllic one. ![]() Previews // 24th Jun 2023 - 13 days ago // By Simon Brown Forever Skies Preview ![]()
