This game is cool 'cause it wasn't Freelancer.. I overwhelmingly recommend. Honestly, I purchased this game for PC many years ago. When I saw it on steam, I decided to take a trip down memory lane. I couldn't have had more fun replaying what I consider a classic. Graphics were good for the time. New users may be dissapointed, but PLAY THE GAME. The gameplay is what really seals the deal for me, and is the reason I still love Tachyon: The Fringe. The flight side of this is intuitive, and fun. And, non-repetitive to boot. Both branches of the storyline are also excellent. It honestly saddens me that many of my friends who started gaming on PC have never heard of it. 8/10 It should honestly be 10/10, but the game is now quite dated. I think this will be a game long remembered. I certainly did. And, I'm glad steam has it. Trust me folks. There haven't been many better space combat simulators. Happy flying Jake Logan!. I'm only going to recommend this game because of its low price. It's a good spaceship flying game for the most part, but it shows obvious signs of time crunch as once you get to the end of the Bora half of the missions, things get ridiculous. For those who haven't played it, GalSpan and Bora are the two factions you can choose from, each with its own ships, weapons and missions.Firstly, there's a bug that crashes your game if you have a certain ship and try to fly to a certain galaxy for the first time. This can be fixed by flying any other ship, but its not obvious and if you don't have the money to buy that ship, you have to cheat it in. Secondly there's the simple fact that the Bora faction wasn't given enough attention. While GalSpan has a variety of polished spacecraft with diverse capabilities to suit your needs, as well as an equally broad selection of weapons that effectively fill many roles needed in combat, the Bora ships are underpowered, slow, have poor shields, and Bora weapons are bad in a way that I will elaborate on in the next few paragraphs.You see, Bora weapons are supposed to be different from GalSpan. GalSpan possesses an extensive selection of missile and torpedo weapons. Most torpedoes are unguided, save for one that doesn't lock on but instead has a fickle auto-lock feature that sometimes makes it chase an enemy if you fire it in the general direction and cross your fingers. These weapons are made for fighting stationary or large targets. There are also a number of missiles, which are guided and good for fighting other small ships. The lasers and lone machine gun are balanced in damage and energy consumption, as well as what type of damage they do (shield and hull; each weapon does different amounts to each). And finally you get this wonderful gravity ray that devours energy and has pathetic range, but basically brings fighters to a grinding halt while you disembowel them with laser fire.Then there's Bora. Their lasers are pretty good, except the Pulsar, which has high performance overshadowed by energy consumption that could bleed an aircraft carrier dry. Nothing else matters. They have sappers, which are slow-moving, unguided bombs that are too weak to do anything to large ships and basically impossible to land on small fighters. They have the railgun, which is a hitscan weapon with pathetic range, that might be decent if it didn't require your entire ship's energy reserve to put out enough damage to destroy one fighter (you routinely have to fight dozens). Mind you, ship energy reserves take several minutes to fully recharge, and this isn't acceptable in combat. They also have unguided rockets, which are great for creating clouds of futile spam-fire as the enemy fighters slip comfortably between each warhead without taking damage. Finally, they have this strange smart-bomb type weapon that damages ships in a tiny radius in exchange for destroying your shields, leaving you to easily be annihilated. Complete trash.As I said, they have some lasers which are reasonable and the only real Bora weapons worth considering. But apparently whoever designed Bora weapons designed their ships too, and wanted to make sure we literally had to use their poorly-thought-out weapons by making the two "best" ships in the Bora arsenal with only a single laser weapon slot each, and 3 or 4 "missile" slots for lovely useless rockets and sappers. When you're playing as Bora, the weapons will make you beg for death, and death will oblige FREQUENTLY and UNPREDICTABLY. You can have full shields and armor, fly up to an enemy at full speed and ram them to death and lose 15% shields, then drift into a space station at 5mph and your shields will run away screaming and your hull will take so much damage you can almost see it bleeding. This occurs sometimes with GalSpan, but is much rarer in my experience.I had to play the last two Bora missions using cheat codes (I was on easy difficulty). I tried every ship, with every combination of weapons and wingmen I could, but Bora is designed to fail because Bora's entire existence is fundamentally a failure on the part of NovaLogic. Now, we might be able to just assume that, since this game was released in 2000, that would explain the difficulty. Games throughout the 80's and 90's were such an upcoming novelty that people would pay developers for the privilege of being kicked in the teeth by ungodly game difficulty, sitting for hours to beat a single hard level, and I think it says a lot about consumer intelligence that we don't put up with that crap nowadays. But the GalSpan missions were very much doable, even if many of them gave me trouble on easy difficulty, so I could at least enjoy part of the game.I would feel bad about Bruce Campbell taunting me for using cheat codes, but if NovaLogic hadn't made such a failure of the Bora, I wouldn't have to.I guess what I'm saying is, play it for GalSpan, don't expect anything from the trailer-trash Bora faction, and you'll probably find it two bucks well spent.. Evem in 2017 still one of the best games i've ever played. Sometimes, you play a game as a teenager on your first crappy 486DX2 machine, and 15 years later you see it pop up on Steam. Sometimes nostalgia turns out to be better than the reality, and you're disappointed with the purchase. This is not one of those times. Graphics aside, Tachyon has held up very well, and I find myself looking at old joysticks on eBay now to complete the experience. AI is still a little wonky, and occasionally flies through solid objects, but that's part of the charm, right?THE NAME IS REDSHIP RORY. I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD OF ME.. HEHAHA, WELL, WHAT HAVE WE HERE? LITTLE SHIP, YOU HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE ENTERING THE LAIR OF THE BLOOD PIRATE CLAN.THE NAME IS REDSHIP RORY.. I love the game "Tachyon The Fringe" but I am not able to get it working on my computer and I am dissappointed because I was looking foward to playing it. The game starts and I can hear the audio but I have no video.
