I have been playing this game on and off for the last few years. I always liked the style and how brutal it could be. It could wipe a 40 hour session in 30 minutes if you rolled bad dices in a row. It was also infuriating because it was out of your control as a player. With patch 20 a lot of content and balance got added to the game. I am really happy with the main story line that got introduced but still leaving you open to explore and roam. The game will still continue to throw curveballs at your, just now I boarded a tiny derelict wreck of about 20x20 with a maze of hallways and doors and a ton of creepers around the corner. Had to send in two squads to get the infestation cleared out. Nuts. I needed a 5 minute cooldown after that. The balance is maybe a bit too friendly now. I am quite familiar now with what tech needs to get researched first and what you can sell in early or mid game and what to hold on to. But with the new hyperdrive, power and botany unlocked running out of resourced is something on the background now really. Not sure if that is bad or that I just had a lot of luck lately with resource spawning. All in all, with patch 20 out now, this game has matured in a fully playable game with tons and tons of hours to spend on it. I think I slapped on 80 hours in the past two weeks. At times I have to remind myself I got shit to do in the real world. Been a long time a game drew me in like this. 10/10 would not recommend to people with busy lives :P

I just raided an enemy base along side a military alliance ship. On our way back we were: ambushed, boarded, swapped ships, fought a 20+ prisoner riot to regain control of our ship, and my scientist went on a solo mission to eliminate the enemy leader and rescue her best friend. This game is amazing. I love how this game plays like a little software facilitated board game diorama with autonomous pieces playing their own rpg inside of it. Many games fit that description but this game delivers on that feeling for me. I now want to 3d print my own buildings to recreate my storied vessels as art pieces to hang up on my wall. The only criticism I have is how long it takes to play the game, and how un-engaging a lot of that time can be. A lot of the challenges can seem unreasonably oppressive to a new player still trying to figure out 'how comfort plays a role in everything' or 'the value of spacesuits close by' or etc. Unfortunately that's just the pain you must go through to get to the "minimum viable ship" good parts.

It's slowly getting better. Decent and chill. Difficult at the beginning, combat is very hard until you get your skills up and better gear. And a solar flare wiping out your entire crop cycle can be detrimental. Can feel slow and repetitive at times, best to play a little here and there. I think the best recent addition was the training machines. It was extremely difficult getting a lot of the command type skill up before this. Things that still need improvement in my opinion. The shuttle default priorities. Quite often I have multiple people scavenging a derelict ship and are running low on oxygen, the shuttle would rather wander around collecting and returning scrap/items to the main ship than to go address the people basically dying on the derelict and bring them home or at least bring them oxygen. The pop up messages offering quests like: transport cargo from one sector to another for the civilians never stop. It will say that you have 15 days to respond, but that never goes down and the game will perpetually interrupt your travels with this message over and over again. I'm not going back three sectors just to carry some cargo for a weak reward, why can't I say no thanks and dismiss this quest? Also, the quest rewards are pretty weak for the amount of time and energy you have to put into them. Quests again: The military faction wants you to capture a slaver, OK fun to attack/board a slaver ship and bring this person back for justice, but it instantly ruins your faction with the entire slaver clan to -100 and you now have war status with them. They now attack you on site. The military faction gives you a weak reward of a few items and zero faction positive with them for your efforts. That's definitely not worth the trouble and I'll never do another one of those quests again. I think we should get a substantial boost to our faction with the military clan for doing these types of quests and essentially siding with them. An asteroid enters the edge of the screen on a trajectory towards your ship, so the pilots jump in their fighters and begin circling the ship to destroy the asteroid. Why don't they fly out and attack the rock right away? Why do they circle the ship for hours (in game time) until the rock is almost right on top of the ship. There's a ton of wasted time here and frequently the rock debris still hits the ship anyway, because they don't engage until it's so close. You're in a ship to ship battle, the pilots will jump in their fighters and basically suicide against the other ships point defense. Even when they take critical damage they keep circling the enemy ship getting pummeled and never retreat due to low life. So yes, It's a decent little game, but I would recommend to the Devs to work on quests, shuttle behavior, and fighter behavior. These aspects could really use some attention and improvement.

cute game, loads of potential. but currently with no mod support and no real end game, it's just a sandbox that runs dry quite fast.

Why is it random indie games are often superior to AAA games with the latest graphics? This game has the sauce: PROs - Core game play loop (gathering ore, growing food, salvaging derelicts, trading, expanding your ship gradually) is fairly addictive - Colony simulation, I love these types of games - Graphics are good for this type of game - Progression feels significant over time CONs - Feels pretty harsh when first learning the game, even after the tutorial. Restarted probably a dozen times or more as I learned what stuff I needed to research first. Kept running out of essential resources early on until I researched the assembler early. - There's a toilet, but no shower(s)? It feels like for a space ship crew management game traveling around the galaxy they would have showers that consume water: > Military style group shower (ala starship troopers style) with a privacy mood debuff, or single stalls with a privacy mood buff. > Could add hygiene variables so if they fighting in close range with aliens, in smoky rooms, etc.. that would debuff that until they take a shower (adds a cleanliness mood buff). - Need a single larger bed for lovers, add some 'hearts' floating up from under the covers occasionally with an associated mood boost. Think about it eyyyy. - I know it's early access, but there's very little for decorations in this current state. - Not much variety for lights. Would like to see the ability to set your own lighting color/brightness. - Lighting model could be better, right now it looks like pre-b42 Project Zomboid quality. Would love to see it get an upgrade like what b42 for Project Zomboid is going to look like. - No pets like dogs or cats roaming around the ship. - There's hypersleep chambers you can find new crew members in, but wouldn't mind also finding occasional escape pods floating out in space as well you can rescue. Most of these CONs are just because it's early access and there's a lot that could be added to the game as it's got a solid foundation that is fun.
