A really fun game, though I would love it if there was more content. And I am very concerned about the long term viability of a Mac game that has no Apple Silicon version.

Decent trade game. Devolves into a factory simulator quickly. The cost of fuel cutting into your profits is frustrating, if not realistic. Pros: -Randomly generated map so every game is at least slightly different. -Consistent guild quests & story quests along with basic trading. -Multiple game modes. -Ship modifications and upgrades. -Factory production of goods on buyable islands. Can quickly devolve the game into a Factory Sim though... -Multiple filters so you can easily check where certain goods or facilities are, and how close they are. -A few small minigames too. Cons: -You get maybe 20% of your old ship price back when upgrading. -If an island doesn't sell an item, they wont buy it either. This, combined with the fact that NO island buys/sells manufactured products, means that the ONLY place you can sell extra manufactured products are the two Bazaars randomly placed on the map and selling a large amount takes a long time and reduced prices as you sell. -Due to the previous reason, unless you have a MASSIVE ship (and still even then), your cargo is going to get clogged up with manufactured goods nobody will buy (except the Bazaars who eventually get sick of you selling the same things over and over and give you a crap price). -Random map gen means you might get screwed when it comes to important location placement (like the Bazaars and charging stations). -Make sure you remember where Ora is, you have to go back to her later. Her island has a little jewel on it (or, one of the few islands with a jewel). Just keep mousing over islands until her name is on the list... 7/10 Decent trade game bogged down a bit by few options, and low fuel cap. Worth getting on sale.

It's a very cozy game about trading. It surprised me when I discovered I was able to create bases and make some autonomous routes.

Good game. There's lots of interesting quests, although you can get stuck in the grind of transporting resources for profit.
