History Videogame / InfiniteSpace

* BlindingBangs: Alik. [[spoiler:He lost this after he was able to cope with Franny's death, [[TookALevelInBadass gaining Formation Foe lv 5 in the process]]]]. Also, Anchjo the cartoonist.

* {{Bishonen}} / {{Biseinen}}: A few of them, most notably Lord Roth.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: And green, and white...
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Cico in Yuri's case:
--> '''Cico:''' Hey, you! Yeah, you with the white top!

* UnwinnableByMistake: See GameBreakingBug entry above. Also, it is possible for the battle against Miles' fleet not to occur at all if you don't follow the right travel pattern, which brings up the usual "Depart" screen in the final stop instead of the [[spoiler:Desmond Gate's appearance]].Incidentally, if you take more than 5 stops but don't stop at the 5th, you are informed that you have missed the event, leaving you to be presumably blasted into cosmic dust after a mission failed message and non standard gameover.
** Also against a boss in the Magellanic Stream that uses Aeriel mines, if you don't happen to have some form of anti air capacity on board, the fight is unwinnable since he is too far away to shoot and the mines will continue to trap you and whittle you away indefinitely.

* NotSoDifferent: At one point, Yuri admits that he's [[spoiler: doing exactly the same thing to the Large Magellanic Cloud as Lugovalos did in the Small: uniting it by force of arms.]]

* CutSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouVcDkQGgs "Stand by"]], apparently.

* DifficultySpike: Chapter 2/Lutsk Sector is infamous for this. To elaborate, you start this chapter with ''only one slot available in your fleet'' and ''a weak destroyer ship''. On the other hand, the enemies consist ''two or three ships'', which is still not too bad since you can escape from them. If you're unlucky, however, a cruiser might appear among them and ''makes the battle inescapable'', guaranteeing a quick Game Over for you. Until you learn Fleet Leader Lv. 2 and obtain ship blueprints from this chapter, good luck traveling around the sector.
** And another one after the TimeSkip since [[spoiler: enemies are much tougher in the Large Magellanic Cloud.]]

** Discovering Celestial Objects during a playthrough to gain 10 Fame for that playthrough is '''''once per cartridge''''', because said entries are also saved to a persistent Database that cannot be erased. Brand new copies of the game are quite expensive because of it.

** Discovering Celestial Objects during a playthrough to gain 10 Fame for that playthrough is '''''once per cartridge''''', because said entries are saved to a persistent gallery that cannot be erased. Used copies of the game are easily identified by an existing gallery.

* SelfImposedChallenge: The game has pretty good potential for various self-imposed challenges. For example, not using fighters at all.

* TeenGenius: Ian, Phyllis, Franny, and Alik in Act 2.

* SuicidalPacifism: One such civilization is met by the flagship bearing GalacticConqueror Emperor Taranis of Lugovalos, greeting his declaration of impending conquest amicably yet professing that they have no desire for war. [[KillSat He genocides them on the spot]]. The Lugovalos are usually happy to absorb most conquered civilizations into their own without excessive tyranny, but Taranis sees no worth whatsoever in people who forgot how to defend themselves.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A few of them. See GettingCrapPastTheRadar below. Also, Pipra's 'hookah' and the way she wields it, which can be rather {{squick}}y.

* ReverseMole: [[spoiler:Galkin, Zakhar.]]

* FrickinLaserBeams: Lasers are the most common weapons. They do average damage, but are more accurate than missiles or railguns.

* BlackBox: Epitaphs. Apparently, if you get your hands on one, and figure out how it works, your reward is [[AGodAmI the power to alter the universe]].[[note]][[spoiler:Provided you're an Observer, of course.]][[/note]]

* OrbitalElevator: Every inhabited world has one connecting its spaceport to a groundside settlement. It's the primary way of accessing facilities like bars and guild offices.

* SquishyWizard: For a battleship, Absoluta-class has rather low durability compared to other LMC battleships such as Agrell-class, but if you set it as your flagship, it will increase the dodge rate and accuracy of ''your entire fleet''. Also doubles as GlassCannon depending on the setup.

* TheBattlestar: Any ship with a Hangar and Catapult can use fighter craft as well as kick ass on its own, though most dedicated carriers are quite poorly armed.

* ShoutOut: Look at the designs of the ships, and especially Corsair with it's [[WaveMotionGun High Stream Blaster]] and wet navy-esque outline, listen to pre-attack chatter, look at naval tactics in general, remember that most of the game takes place in Large Magellanic Cloud. Suddenly you realize that entire game is one large shout out to SpaceBattleshipYamato.

* ShipTease: Bastian and Nia have two brief moments near the end of Act 1... [[spoiler:and brutally sunk following their deaths]]. Also, between Yuri and Princess Glorinda, except that Yuri's not interested. [[spoiler: Torlo starts shipping them due to an in-universe continuity error, after Kira is excised from reality.]]
