One of the most complex space simulations gets a free expansion--and goes on sale!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/space_rangers_2_reboot]Space Rangers 2: Reboot, an updated version of Space Rangers 2: Dominators with the Reboot expansion, is available for only $3.99 for the next 48 hours.

Some expansions get lost in space, some updates vanish in supermassive black holes, some patches are destroyed in supernova explosions. However, our brave GOG.com Space Exploration department ventures boldly where no being has gone before, discovers Gems, and brings them back to Earth. Back to where they belong--on your gameshelf! Space Rangers 2: Reboot is the full version of Space Rangers 2: Dominators, the game we’ve been selling for more than a year now, with the Reboot expansion added in as well. Because we are who we are, we will not charge you for the expansion: if you already bought Space Rangers 2: Dominators, we've already switched the games on your shelves--download it now!. And if you’re interested in the game and have been waiting for this add-on, you can pick it up now 60% off for the next two days.

Space Rangers 2: Reboot is an eclectic mix of turn-based combat strategy, 4X game, third-person shooter, trade simulation, and arcade shooter. It combines space exploration, real-time strategy, puzzle-solving, and the character development of role-playing games. It’s a game that sounds like it would be an unplayable mess, but that’s far from the truth. The game works--and it works great! The Reboot expansion not only delivers new maps, quests, and game modes, but also introduces bug fixes for some issues in the original Space Rangers 2: Dominators.

Enjoy the ultimate space ranger simulation for only $3.99 for the next 48 hours.
Sweet, I haven't even had a chance to play my copy of SR2 yet, so this is perfect.
I already own the game and I appreciate the free stuff, but the thing that I'm really happy about is GOG's new update notification thingy. It's just what I've been hoping for. Thanks for the great service, guys.

SirPrimalform: Wow!

Will you leave the Dominators installer as an extra, or does the new installer have checkboxes that let you install the game without Reboot?
The original installer is gone and there isn't an option to install Dominators only, but Reboot adds and fixes many things (the black screen during the videos for example) without altering the core game, so I doubt you'll want to return to Dominators.

@GOG Thanks for the free update and the update notification for the game is very nice too!

I always like the option of installing a base game without an expansion, I'm just weird like that.

Given that it's a bugfix--and also due to some legal stuff--we just replaced the master on our servers. No original version anywhere.
Bought. No Colonization for now.

Any chance of it being put back up as an extra à la Broken Sword, or is that out of the question due to said legal stuff?
Always great to see added expansions and content

NEXT UP: I REALLY hope that GOG adds the expansions to King's Bounty and EA games
I'm reading some issues with windows 7 on the forum.

Is this supposed to be compatible with it or not?

Not too keen on buying this anymore.
Free upgrade? Awesome service guys! However, I also have a question for those who have played both Dominators and Reboot- I just recently started playing SR2: Dominators and am about 10 hours in. Would my save games be compatible with SR2: Reboot? If not then would you consider it worth it to abandon my current game and restart with Reboot?

The 166 hours on Space Rangers 2 Reboot (more probably) on Steam for me were all on Win 7 64bit. I'd be shocked if the GOG version were less compatible.

I've been playing it on Win7 64 bit, and the only issue I've run into is that the videos don't play (apparently Win7 doesn't like the .vdo files the game uses). However, from what others have been saying in this threat it sounds like Reboot fixes this problem.
You guys are fantastic! This was a pleasant surprise. I loved this game when I played it 1 year ago and this will be surely also be the case when I get to play this reboot again someday. ^^
Tried buying 4 times...got added to "my cart", but each time I tried to "checkout", got the 404 error....nuttin there...
