How it feels

You pilot and customize your own ship in a lighthearted sci-fi sandbox, choosing your path through combat, trading, or influence.

What players say

Players enjoy the freedom of building ships from salvaged parts, but many find the early game grindy and combat punishing. The galaxy feels empty and the controls are awkward, while the in-game stock market allows easy exploits to bypass the intended progression.
