How it feels

You carefully tinker with modular ship parts, balancing weight and energy to make something that flies, then test it in open-ended space exploration.

What players say

Players are split on the fun factor, with many praising the sandbox combat but frustrated by the abandoned state, clunky controls, and technical issues. The game crashes frequently, has Java performance problems, lacks support, and features repetitive missions including fights against your own ship clone.
