Spaceport Trading Company

On the whole shows a lot of promise, the graphics though simplistic do not distract from the the game play, it can be a bit of a grind and the tutorial (such as it is) leaves unanswered questions. My biggest moan is the huge difference in price from say a "milky Way" to the next ship which has a "Starstream Drive", the starting galaxy is quite limited to grind away in trying to earn enough funds,without getting bored in. But lets not forget this is in early access, so hopefully the Devs will iron out these issues. Its time to give more support to these smaller studios who do not want £50-60 for a buggy AAA title.

Currently I recommend if you are a fan of trading and/or space games, but it is still EA, so there are many features that have yet to be implemented. Dry docking ships in a hangar for example and a few other features that are still not added. Currently that are trade items, more than many other games to transport and peaceful missions to fly, I choose to run a peaceful game in the demo which carried (much to my surprise) into the purchased game, most demos can't say they do. The economy still needs to be balanced, it feels too easy to earn credits on some trade items, maybe non peaceful mode will increase danger on high profit runs. Currently since you can't store any ships yet (the menu items are in place) you can only own one ship at a time. So you can't buy a warp capable ship to jump to a different system them moth ball it to fly a larger capacity trade vessel in a local system. Features I hope are added: - Being able to build a fleet even if it is only a few ships. Perhaps some for defense or to increase cargo capacity. - More trade items, there are quite a few, there even seem to be some that are must be imported from other systems then the starting system. - Perhaps an increased trade fee when relations worsen to a different levels with a faction, encouraging the player to remain neutral or friendly. I can see this one being unpopular, I hate and like this idea. - High profit runs generate pirate interest more than a mid or small profit runs, example guns, or requiring a hazardous material permit or something to balance the spam delivery of them.

Not the best. It seems like there's recurring issues where my ship gets stuck in port. Undock doesn't work, selecting the local map doesn't work, nothing seems to work.

In its current state i definately do NOT advise anyone to get this game, as it is highly broken, saving do not work, and once you have tried what the game call a time trial, all it choses when you are done with that utter waste of time, is choose another one of thoose for you, so you cant ever go back to playing as you want, wich means the game currently is not even worth getting and playing, even if the game were free to play, so yea the game is not worth anything in this state, so the listed price of this game is WAY too much.

Spaceport Trading Company ist eine nette kleine SciFi-WiSim im Retrolook ala C64. Wer Retro mag, der kann hier gerne Zugreifen, denn das Spiel ist für kleines Geld im Steamshop zu erwerben. Wer insbesondere auf WiSim´s in der Art von "M.U.L.E", "Der Reeder" oder "Der Planer" steht, ist hier auch ganz gut aufgehoben, weil es darum geht Waren einzukaufen, zur Verschicken und möglichst gewinnbringend an einer anderen Location zu verkaufen. Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit Quests durchzuführen, was etwas den Langzeitspaß verbessert. Leider stehen zur Zeit nur die Modies Sandbox und Zeitjagd zur Verfügung, warum auch immer? Wer Schiki-Micki Grafik und schwere Spieltiefe nicht als Wichtigstes einstuft, ist bei diesem Game gut aufgehoben.
