    I’ve spent about $125 on this game, and I would definitely get pissed if I bought in for all the promises they made.

    However, I bought just to have a really pretty “Fly around in space while exploring my spaceship and listening to music” experience. It’s a vibe game. If they took out all the combat and lofty goals and just focused on making a really dope spaceship sim (with all the ship management, repairs, etc that they’ve promised) I would probably lose my life to it.

      I got the game for free in 2015 as part of a choose-your-own-bundle promo for the AMD R9 270X. Haven’t paid a cent for it and I still sorta feel ripped off.

      I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly vibing around in a ship.

      Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.

      Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.

      Right there with you. Spent about 45$ on an Aurora, got a free Mustang, and did a CCU into a nomad. I’m not upset with the money I spent on the game. Gotten way more out of it just vibing in universe, flying over each new planet at they add it.

      I doubt it’ll ever launch though. Those who have invested thousands of dollars into it are bound to be salty when the towel is thrown in.
