@Superdude037 This game isn't a ripoff of anything, it's based off of the Starfighter series of flash games, and I think there aren't many gameplay similarities. Mining in space games is not new, and some games before EVE had mining in them, like Freelancer (which came out March 2003, EVE came out in May 2003), so you can't really call it a ripoff if it's just a multiplayer version of another, (Semi in concept) original game.

I highly suggest that everyone stops asking Ben to make changes to this anymore.
Last I checked he's stopped working on thi and planning to make a new version. This is getting no updates. Do not expect anything.

Multiplayer was great, but I admit it is a lot better without people spamming Vortex Bombs or having unlimited shields. Even though SF:DG is only Single Player now, it's still a beast of a game.

Here's a good way to make money AND kills, and you can start doing it almost the moment you start! First, make sure your human, then save up enough money for the chariot fast attack ship (its the first ship on the second row). Arm it with these guns: converge disk, converge disk, converge disk, laser beam, micro compression bomb, and energy cells. Buy a hyperspeed, and go to sector S-10-6. go up then right. select the micro compression bomb and speed to the enemy station, when you pass it, press z REALLY fast, then run. the turrent will blow up after a second, then use converge disks to clear up the rest of the enemy force, leave sector, come back, and repeat till satisfyed. i usualy get about 3-4 k per attack, and repeating it for about 10 minutes i get like, 17 k, plus you get the kills.

@lino even when there was multiplayer, gangs still really had no use, the only other thing in-game that involved gangs was a special gang chat, there were 3 chats, all chat, sector chat, and gang chat, so you could talk to people just in your gang, although practically that didn't really have much of a use for gameplay anyway, unless you were in some super organized gang that carried out organized attacks in multiplayer (too bad almost none of those existed) then gangs are pretty much the same.
Their was also an out of game element of a gangs leaderboard that listed the gangs based on number of cumulative kills, but that had no effect on gameplay.

Autopilot + Engine Overdrive = Epic Win!
Brilliant game. I would love to see multiplayer again, but even without it, this game is still one of the best games on Kongregate! I have made this game a favourite and rated it 5/5.
Oh, I almost forgot...
ALIENS FTW!

what do i have from a gang now that there is no multiplayer? do i get something else than changing the colour of my ship from joining a gang?

I've played this game for about a year now (On my older account), and I remember how much I loved the multiplayer, its a shame. Even though the game is only single player now it still deserves a 5/5. Good job, and I cant wait for other upcoming projects.

From Ben's blog
2011
I suspect a lot of game devs say this and never achieve it, but I would really like to release more games this year. Rather than focussing on 2 or 3 epic games, I would find it much more fun to experiment quickly with different ideas. This is always a challenge though.
Games I want to make this year (but please note that they probably won't all get done!):
Starfigher 3 (SFDG2)
"Starfighter: Disputed Galaxy" was my first attempt at an MMORPG, although I didnt really set out thinking that's what it would be. It was a great game that I was really proud of, and still would be, except it became too hard work trying to fight off all the hackers, when a hacker deleted every single user account and broke the game I decided I couldn't take it anymore and disabled the multiplayer and took down all the leaderboards.....

There should be more ships and ships such as carriers, super carriers, maybe mega battleships, transportation ships, attack vessels, frigates, and anything space related. Good job though,
