Reminds me of Raft in space. I have enjoyed it a lot so far and I am looking forward to many hours to come!

3 of my current gripes:
The game pauses when you're in any menu, meaning you can't spend your time crafting the things you need by looking through different operational blocks like the blueprint shop.
The game limits your flight of speed via your thrusters so it takes forever to get anywhere, oh but don't worry there's an upgrade you get at some point to almost double it.
For some reason, when you're flying, you lose speed, yet the small and large objects that are floating in space don't lose velocity. Find a better way to balance your fuel than forcing a player to slow down.
Overall, great idea but the design is absolutely terrible and generally misses the mark in multiple areas. You should consider learning more about general game design principles. Your gameplay loop needs significant improvement before this can be rated well. Not even close to being worth $20 in it's current state. I'd pay $5 for it though.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Like Raft in space, with an extra dimension to base building and the sharks have lasers. Minor pain points in the UI, but generally manageable. Definitely worth a try if you like mindlessly gathering resources, automating crafting, and base building. Simple but with enough toys to stay entertained.

While I lost interest after leaving after the first jump, I think this game is a good fit for those that like the genre. The exploration and looting is satisfying, equipment variety and upgrades are present. Base building is comfortable and there's plenty to learn and improve upon as you play.
The recycled content as a gameplay cycle was what I found offputting and it never got better after a few hops. It felt like I would either have to metagame grind money for new features to play with, or rush across the sector map and into the next zone. Given the games naturally slow pacing, this was a red flag for me as I would be literally waiting as a core element of the game.
While that's not for me, those that don't mind repetative gameplay cycles and casual sandbox play will likely enjoy it.

Fun enough at first but it gets really repetitive. Also, there are way too many types of guns that fill up the hot bar, making it so there isn't really room for anything else.

Hello and welcome to game The Eternal Grind.
Travel: horrible. the solar systems eventually get so large it takes literal minutes to reach anything. Made a rig you're proud of and ready to strap thrusters on it? better hope your rig isn't heavy enough to only go 10m/s after slapping 10 on it. I pretty much had to redesign mine to a compacted platform with gun towers.
grind: eternal. the sell quota missons are fine at first since you'll be crafting those items anyway for the next crafting machine or weapon teir (don't bother with teir 3). the "end game" quotes have you making the most complex items. Got mad when the final two missions had me make the two posiminds, and then told me to make three Scav-bots....WHICH ARE POSIMINDS WITH MORE METAL ON THEM! so instead of just letting me make five posiminds, they have ya makes two batches of two and three. very annoying.
story: meh. you're hired and send out to do a job of collecting trash. you meet aliens. and in the end, [spoiler] you're left to die on a small planetoid because you know to much and they have scav-bots now so don't need you [/spoiler]
fun: first hour building your rig and going through the game's dungeons, abandoned vessels and mines. the slow travel killed it for me. and then having to redesign my rig to fix that killed it even more.
end game: please don't bother, not worth it in the slightest.
honestly can't even say get it on sale.
