It's all SplatterCatGaming's fault for me playing this. I kept meaning to put it down but it's very chill and kind of a bit old school. Go watch Splats play of it if interested. It doesn't have sound effects at the moment from what I can tell. Has potential for what I would consider to be a sort of Eve offline and chill game.

So far loving this, and excited to see where it goes. However, the game needs sounds added YESTERDAY. It's weird playing a game I expect to have cool mining, explosion, refining, etc sounds and the only thing I hear is combat. Please add sound effects asap even if placeholders

Got this game a few days ago and really enjoying it. It's very much Eve-Lite, but that's a good thing. Eve is like a full time job, this is fun, and casual. I love the AFK auto grind feature. I'm several days in and still finding new things to work on. I'm obsessed with leveling up, exploring the galaxy, getting better ships and gear, and solving the quests. Highly recommend this game to everyone. For the developers... a few requests... 1) Bookmarks: Would love a way to bookmark locations. Stations, gates, etc. It would help keep track of things I need to do. 2) Ability to scrap or remove old ships. 3) Ability to dismiss crew members. 4) Ability to mark items in cargo to not be removed. I have modules I want to stay with a ship, but the autopilot AI keeps moving then to storage when running AFK. 5) More options for AFK AI. Use or don't use fuel, restocking levels for ammo, mining/salvage options (a couple AFK sessions stalled because the AI couldn't find things to do). Thanks!

Had to take a break to write the review! This is a great game; it scratches the itch for a space, RPG, loot game and does it surprisingly well. You start off pretty basic, picking a specialization (has minor impact) and working through some missions along side a story quest. Start grinding credits to upgrade that ship, or maybe get a new ship..maybe you want to start mining instead! Once you get the hang of the missions, reputation, inventory you reach the end...of the prologue! The game opens up vastly, more ships, more equipment, more systems ect. Great job with the progression! You feel stronger as you gain skills, level up and get new ships and crew. A big function is the ability to use your Echo or AI. This nifty companion can run missions for you, mine, do all sorts of things that are customizable to an extent. It's nice to let the AI take control for a bit while you get a beer refill or do some work. Some things that could use improvement: 1. Sound (there are a lot of lacking sound effects, like mining lasers, thrusters, ect.) there are alot of sound elements that need some love. 2. Fuel costs - No fuel costs in the game, and I think having to refuel your ship from time to time would add a more realistic element to it. 3. Some RPG elements with different ships or captains. Missions like working together or even recruiting other ships would be fun. Overall this is a gem! I love where it is now and very hopeful for future content and improvements. It's one of those games where you start playing and it's suddenly 2am in the morning with work in 3 hours.
