    I’ve been waiting for this one for a while — it looks like a fun game to jump into with some friends over the weekend.

    Elevator pitch (afaict based on trailers and some previous closed betas): you’re crewing a space ship that jumps from sector to sector, blowing up other ships and scavenging for resources on foot. It’s a lighthearted action game that smoothly transitions between space and ground combat.

      Okay, now what about the aileron pitch? ;-) Sounds like a fun game… if I had friends. hehe

        Did you see the LFG thread the other day? I might see if others there want to try this game out sometime this week, currently has people from most of the US time zones and a few from CET.

        I'm sure there'll be a lot of folks just idling around in the steam community page (or the lobbies, if they're implemented) in case that's of interest! No need to BYOF (bring your own friends) :3

    Heck yeah! I've also been waiting on this one for a while. Just remoted into my desktop and started the install so I can play it later.

    Sci-fi FPS meets space combat sim is a mash up of two of my favorite genres and and instant try for me. Being solo player friendly is just icing on the cake as I can play without the guilt of abandoning my team/wasting their time when life gets in the way.

        I let my PCs sleep, so I have to connect to my router to kick off a wake on lan request, then remote in to change the suspend setting + start the download.

    I was in the alpha. I wanted to like it but there were some things I couldn't get past: especially how you're in this big gun ship that is utterly incapable of shooting at any being that is ground bound.

    Maybe they've changed this? It was such a visceral turn off for me that I didn't go back to the alpha after.
