Solar Expanse - Space Exploration Manager

TLDR: its a good complete game for early access, and management game with orbital physics is a nice touch. 10/10 would mine all oxygen from Earth to terraform Mars again. It has some very realistic elements, that I love. The terraforming is cool, the planets look change if you do it. Even the Luna can get green if you put effort in it. Cant wait for the Interstellar travel. Its a whole game compared to an early access, although could use more content, more events, and a lots of quality of life improvements, like micromanagement, mission planning, automatism etc. Good sign that I see the devs commenting on those issues under the reviews. Some elements are a bit silly, the AI player is super dumb, it supposed to be some sort of competition, but its not doing anything almost, plus you cant loose the contracts. The moons are so fixed, that I crushed Ceres into Deimos, and it did not increase the weight, altough Ceres is much bigger in reality. if you can push Ceres with 33 engines, you shall be able to move deimos as well, it would be great to just bring it down to mars. Ballance is a bit off, basically its not worth to use anything but fusion ships, they are faster and more effective than anything. its around 10-15 years of research to get them, Some faster time forward would be nice sometimes. If devs are reading, I encountered the following bugs (or features): [spoiler] 1. If you plan misson with non reusable rockets that are currently being constructed, the will not be used up. 2. Originaly the Earth market has a finite resourece, except when you want to build something that you dont have enough. Than you can build for money, even if Earth community dont have the resourses. Now you can buld a space elevator for 200M and cancel, send the materials to orbit and repeat, and you have a lots of money by the end to just buy everything. 3 When using Atlas to move an asteroid, it is using up all the fuel on constant acceleration, the UI is broken and basically you can move any asteroid in 5 days regardless of the amount of fuel you brought with. 4 some trajectories are going in the middle of the sun. 5. Interstellar mission has also infinite fuel if you click fastest, it completes in 3 month. that's waay faster than lightspeed :) [/spoiler]

Solar Expanse понравилась атмосферой, масштабом и интересной идеей освоения космоса. Игровой процесс увлекает, развитие ощущается приятно, а визуальный стиль хорошо передаёт настроение космической экспансии. При этом экономическую систему стоит сделать глубже и лучше сбалансировать. Особенно необходимо улучшить работу конкурентов, чтобы они действовали активнее, разумнее и создавали настоящую конкуренцию. В целом игра очень перспективная, и я с интересом буду следить за её развитием.
