Sure, here’s my take:

Okay, so let’s talk about space RPGs because, honestly, they’re like this weird combo of massive and tiny all at once. Ever played No Man’s Sky or Starfield? Sometimes, they just blow you away with this feeling of being a speck in a ginormous universe, while also giving you total freedom. Throwback to the days of Wing Commander: Privateer, which—trust me—was epic. Now, there’s this hidden gem called Star Valor, a bit under the radar but with some cool retro vibes. They’re dropping a new DLC soon, focused on base building. Could get interesting.
Now, about this Star Valor – Base Building thing. It is what it sounds like: You build and manage bases, which, for some reason, I find strangely satisfying. The DLC offers different stations—like mining gigs for those massive asteroids, or production sites if you’re into economics. Oh, and you can kick things off with a base instead of a ship if that’s your style. Then you’re stuck defending it from enemy waves. It’s like space chess, with many ways to play it. Be a trader, a mean pirate, whatever floats your cosmic boat.
In case Star Valor doesn’t ring a bell, it’s basically an RPG set in, well, space. The galaxy’s all procedurally generated, meaning each game is a fresh start. Imagine wiping the slate clean every time. You start solo, but as you level up and amass cash, you can expand your crew, upgrade to bigger ships, or even command fleets. There are seven factions to navigate—just imagine the bartering and scheming you’d have to do. It’s a whole vibe.
Just FYI, the Base Building DLC drops on July 27, 2025. The price? Still a mystery.
