太难了
I recommend this to anyone into Space Simulation and Empire Builders.
nice, better than star citizen
This game is one of the most unique games I've played in a long time. From the moment I started, I was hooked by the depth of the economic simulation and how everything in the world feels connected. Watching markets change, managing resources, and seeing the effects of your decisions makes the game incredibly engaging. Another highlight is the variety of ships and the freedom to play however you want. There is always something to work toward, whether it's expanding your fleet, increasing your profits, or exploring new opportunities. The game rewards planning and patience, which makes progress feel meaningful and satisfying. My biggest issue with the game is the user interface. Many menus can be difficult to navigate, shortcuts are not always intuitive, and simple actions often require more steps than necessary. On top of that, many tasks take a very long time to complete, which can make the pacing feel slow at times (early game). While I understand that some of this is part of the game's design, improving the UI and reducing unnecessary waiting would make the experience much smoother. Despite these flaws, it's still a fantastic and highly unique game that I would recommend.
Wonderful space game with, ive played it a little bit, Great base game with Great mods. Station builder is fun aswell if you want to design your own
Okay so full disclosure, this game almost beat me. The first few hours are genuinely rough and I came close to abandoning it more than once. I’m very glad I didn't. Once it clicked, something kind of amazing happened. What started as me fumbling around in a single ship turned into running a whole operation. Miners out collecting ore, traders working the economy, combat ships on patrol, diplomatic agents running missions across the galaxy, and me personally flying a modded Moreya fighter so fast it makes everything else look like it's standing still. I didn't plan for any of that. It just grew. The living economy is the real star here. Ships you don't own are out there doing their thing, factions are fighting wars you had nothing to do with, and everything you do ripples out into a universe that was already moving before you showed up. It sounds like a feature bullet point but it genuinely changes how the game feels. The mission chains also don't get nearly enough credit. The Yaki storyline, the Terran Covert Operations arc, the Split Civil War, the Boron reconnection through Kingdom's End. None of it feels like disconnected quests bolted onto a space sim. It all weaves together in ways that make the galaxy feel like it actually has a history you're becoming part of. The 9.0 Empire Update made a good game great. Better combat AI, a proper diplomacy and espionage system that actually adds strategic depth, engine rebalancing that makes customizing your ships feel worthwhile. There's more content here than I'll probably ever see. It's not perfect. The early game is a wall, some UI choices are head scratching, and a few missions will absolutely test your patience. But Egosoft keeps at it years later, still updating, still listening. That counts for a lot. If you've got patience and love space games, this one's worth every hour.
Yes, Steam, I recommend this game to other players. Gotta work around the uneven challenge in quests and occasional bugs, ignore the autopilot jank and so far it has mostly worked - only visual / audio glitches. Lots to discover though. Delegation is key.
700+ Hours and still learning! Awesome game
Once you get through the clunky UI and the learning wall, it's one of the greatest games ever made.
Complexo. Porém é viciante
