This game is what an early access game ought to look like.

This has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. it is already so well polished and easy to play and get into. I played vanilla for about 6 hours before I hit the 15 mark.--That is like a record for me simply because I like to mod every game I have to improve it. But even so this game is great as is, so creative and user friendly that it is not only playable but enjoyable. (But there is always room for improvement and greater precision and enjoyment.)

And so I am extremely happy with all the mods I can find so far. I am hoping a lot of these ideas and especially what many others have asked/suggested for before the official road map was released, that more of that gets implemented-- either through more mods or through the updates to come.(I kept thinking about what would be awesome to see and sure enough plenty of other people had some of the same ideas before official road map was posted.) I really hope we get to see some more kinds of alien/robotic crew, maybe living organisms?-- (a life like inhabited universe where there is a more of an optional unfolding sanbox like story aspect going on in the background perhaps?) (dynamic events?) (better ship formation tracking so my ships do not run into things but break formation and come back together?)

I am thankful this developer cares about the game being produced and has done such a great job so far, and so I am not here demanding for more but sincerely hoping more of these gaming dreams come true.

No matter what comes I especially cannot wait for the option while fighting to have boarding parties which seems to be a main feature coming.

Looking forward to see where the game goes and what the modding community brings as well.
