A fast-evolving, cheap 2D X4-style space sandbox with fleets, stations and co-op, backed by a very active solo dev. Skip it if you want polish, depth or a non-grindy start.
Great for
Fans of X4, Star Valor and Starsector who want a top-down sandbox with fleets, stations and co-op
Main risk
Grindy slow start and Early Access jank (AI, UI, balance) with shallow content
