!!DO NOT BUY!! !!DO NOT BUY!! !!DO NOT BUY!!

WILL BE FREE FROM 7. DEC 2021 AND WILL GET REMOVED IN FEBRUARY 2022 AS THEY WILL REMOVE ALL DLC UPTO AND INCLUDING FORSAKEN, DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR THIS AS IT WILL MOSTLY GET REMOVED AND BECOME FREE

Great gunplay, horrible monetization method

Release DLC, rip it out a year or 2 later to release a new +45€ DLC and 3x10€ season pass

<EDIT>
Disclaimer - This game is early access, not just "early access"

it really IS early access, as in 95% of content isnt in yet and theres bugs

Theres a ship designer that works robustly, and a easy build mode, not so robust

right now the game is designing ships and mining for ores, pvp can be found if looking for it, turn on you transponder and wait for some pirate to come blazing
</EDIT>

If you ever played space engineers and felt it was a bit simple, then this is the game you want

at the time of writing i've got 127 hours (+420 hours in CA)

Truly impressive engine tech Frozenbyte have made, especially when looking at the complexity of it all

Ships are built with objects like steel beams, plates and modules like generators, batteries, radiators and so instead of one size voxel cubes akin more too garrys mod spacebuild instead of space engineers

All objects in the game can be voxelized / mesh cut to show damage.
Laser melts trough armor plates leaving a clearly defined hole
Autocannon punches through making ragged holes
Plasma fractures armor plates so they break like glass

Cable placing matters (yeah theres power and fuel lines) since dragging a single main line in your ship leaves it vulnerable to getting cut and bricking half your ship until repaired, redundancy saves ships!

though be warned theres no PVE elements, only pvp but seeing as its a single shard universe MMO theres plenty of fighting to be had if you want, just gotta go where it is which can take some time

Features are getting released quite often looking at the roadmap and the devs are beyond stellar in their community interactions!
