Even the galaxy is randomly generated in each new game. You won’t find them that much though, as technologies are fairly rare and everything in the Out There: Ω The Alliance is random. These can be handy dandy upgrades to your existing systems, or crazy new technologies that can do stuff like terraforming a barren, rocky planet or turning a star into a black hole. Different ships may require different elements for repairs, and they are also used for building new technologies on your ship as you learn them. Planets can also be mined (if your ship has a drill installed), to obtain various elements like iron, copper, and more. They speak an alien language, but we’ll get to that in a minute. These Earth-like worlds feature life forms that you can interact with if you wish. Garden planets are generally found around yellow and red dwarf stars. The type affects what sorts of planets you may find inside. Star systems come in a number of types, from yellow and red dwarfs, to giants, to neutron stars and black holes. The inventory of this odd looking ship has 16 slots of space for materials and installed technology. The smallest ship has only three slots, making it super useless, while the largest has 21 slots. Each slot can be used to store a stack of material, or be occupied by a piece of technology installed on the ship. The number of slots in the ship also varies between ships. Each ship has three ratings as seen above, and they determine how efficiently the ship uses fuel and oxygen, as well as how resistant its hull is to damage. Best of all, you can take over the abandoned ship and leave your old one behind if you want. You can also move items from your ship to the abandoned one. When you encounter an abandoned ship, you can look in its inventory and take items out. A few of the ships can be unlocked by finding an abandoned instance of them in a star system. Sadly, I still haven’t found her ship myself. Out There: Ω The Alliance on Nintendo Switch has 3 new ships, one of which is the gunship of renowned bounty hunter, Samus Aran (of Metroid fame). There are 12 other ships to unlock, many of which are locked behind the multiple endings. Initially, you only have the Nomad as your starter ship. The Nomad is your first ship, You will randomly find others on your journey and you can take them over to use for the next leg of your journey. Your choice can result in nothing, a boon in the form of gained resources, or a setback such as damaged ship equipment or lost resources. It sometimes gives you choices of how to respond to an event that has happened to you. It is presented as a log entry written by you. Each time you travel to a new star system, you are presented with a small randomly selected bit of story text. Unlike in FTL, the RNG in Out There generally doesn’t have the power to outright end your game, but bad luck can add up very quickly to end you. Both titles make heavy use of the random number generator (RNG), so much so that it will be the bane of your existence. In that way, it is similar to FTL (Faster Than Light), except that the two games are very different. Out There: Ω The Alliance is an indie, space exploration game with rogue-like elements. These will fully restore one of your three vital stats, though which one is randomly predetermined. A small space station floats next to you in the first star system.
