It might not feel finished, but it's still an under-rated gem of a game. Most similar to games like Barotrauma! I hope that one day someone will make a game exactly like this but fully finished with AAA quality.

Fun Game- Best with friends- Tips from first two play sessions: -There is a tutorial: it is on the starting screen before you start a game. called the academy -Read everything, the manual has a lot of helpful advise in game if you run into questions -At the starting location before you jump anywhere, teleport inside and accept every mission you can! -Also at the starting location, it is a warp gate hub! (think stargate) so the captain can pick a location, the pilot can drive into the stargate and it teleports you much further and faster and spends money instead of fuel! -Accept missing while in route to other locations! they are usually close and frequently fruitful! -Some things like coolant and fuel, it seems that only the captain can buy! -The captain can set spend limits so the crew doesnt blow all the money -Exploring other ships and planets is cool! -Listen to the captain! With so much going on, it is genuinely helpful to have someone in charge -Firing weapons can stop/slow the warp drive from ready-ing -If you can move a ship part to cargo its cause you are full of something like scrap. you can have your weapons person deal with the scrap to empty space for more ship parts -If you are out of warp distance from all locations> save and blind warp. one of the times you'll probably survive Awesome scifi game with classic elements and references to other scifi games and media Huge learning curve at first but once you get the hang of things it really is worth it

Kind of rough starting out, but once you have the hang of how the ship works, this is a really fun game to play with your friends! Highly recommend picking it up, its worth the 20 bucks!

It seems like no one makes the game like this one rn. There is simply no competitor, while this one feels dated, so it is hard to find someone to play it with. I hope there will be a modern version of it, but I am loosing hope. It is a unique and interesting multicrew space and ground adventure experience with progression. Just stating this fact that there is no other game like that already made me sad

It's THE space sim. The devs saw The Firefly, and thought "Hell yeah!" You take the ship, you take your friends/bots, and you can go ANYWHERE! The amounts of cool and immersive systems in this game is insane, too. For example: a scientist on YOUR ship can create a virus program to hack into enemy ship's systems, and sabotage them. Every ship you encounter in this game, has a fully simulated NPC crew that runs around the ship and fixes it's systems, just like on your ship! This is just if Starfield used starships not just for space combat sections, if you could walk around your ship, if love and care was put into it... This game is simply amazing. 3 people made it, yet the amounts of little details here and there is just mind-blowing. For example: an enemy's missile caused one of your rooms to set on fire? Heh, now FIRE drains OXYGEN! Cool, right? You want to fire that big cool plasma canon your ship has? Heh, gotta check the enemy ship's movement vector first! Oh, what's that? Firing the gun applied the velocity to your ship, while your pilot was carefully maneuvering along the asteroids? Heh! That loss of the ship's hp will be the cause of miscommunication! Oh, also, the Engineer role. Playing as him feels like that one scene from Age of ultron, where Tony programs Altron along with Jarvis. Seriously: you need to manage the ship's reactor temperature, the warp drive's ready-ness, the shield energy consumption, the brandmauer systems, and all of that is on different screens, in different tabs! Literally the most stressfull micro-managing sims I ever played. So, grab a few friends, read a manual, and get ready for the most memorable space adventure you'll have since the last time you've played Mass Effect 1.
