Nice little game.

Create your own fleet (Not really, best I could do is one mothership and an escort which takes 8/8 ship points)
Manage your crews like Rimworld. Fight aliens and rogue robots, engage in ship to ship combat + fighters + boarding parties. Watch your crews miss their shots. Enslave your enemies, befriend factions or destroy them. (Sell your crew as slave for credits #Notrecommended) Research, research and research! Have a whole section in your ship for farming so you don't run out of food. Explore, mine for resources (not food but water and other building and fuel minerals) then refine them into well needed resources; building, weapons, armours, fuels (for more advanced researched items)

Fun game though it would seems there should be more improvements in which is my own opinion. (Base commander, more ships points, play as a faction, maybe a bit more system points as well.)

Oh, god... do I even recommend it?

I keep playing this game. I keep coming to my senses, in the middle of the night, with a really dry mouth and itchy eyes. And I keep pulling myself away from it, scared to touch it again, to save the rest of my life from falling apart. This is the only reason why I have only 33 hours right now. I'm scared to touch this game. It's addicting.

And that's been the case for many updates now. The game was like that, like 6 major updates ago, when I started playing. It has not gotten worse.
