Uhm, Space Rangers IS an RPG. Its not a strategy at all, but I has an RTS mini game. You fly around in your ship, upgrade it, upgrade your skills, hire people, do quests, etc. Just because there is trading, a dynamic and lively universe, text quests, rts games, aracade games, doesn't make the game not an RPG.Grimwulf
I heard good things about "Space Rangers 2" (Космические рейнджеры 2: Доминаторы).
It's even has a favorable Codex review:

Does it break the parade of RPG mediocrity?
Also "Precursors" (Предтечи), granted its by a Ukrainian rather then Russian team.
Heard their two previous attempts were "interesting failures" but the third is actually "quite good for what it is"...
Plus what games from the former USSR countries would you say are actually decent?
Can't really name Space Rangers an RPG. It was always more a strategy for me, with elements of text quests and yeah, a bit of RPG resemblance. It's good. Hell, I never said that russian games suck (most of them do, tho). Russian rpgs - that what sucks bad and deserves all kinds of decline.
And yes Ukranian games are great. Men of War series anyone?
Metro games and S.T.A.L.K.E.R of course. Why do Ukrainians made awesome games, while Russian suck so badly in general?
