    I am completely sold on this idea. I crave any kind of driving game where you don't have to race or shoot missiles from your roof-mounted rocket launcher. But! Redo this whole trailer. Remove Blue Danube and replace with slide guitar played with a bottleneck. Put fuzzy dice on the review mirror and naked chicks on the mudflaps. If my space truck driver isn't a blue-collared redneck as Starcraft rightfully showed us back in the day, then I'm just not interested.

      Just making sure you’re aware of Hardspace: Shipbreaker, which is a very blue collar flavored shipbreaking simulation game set in the future. Steel guitar, anti-capitalism, the whole nine yards!

        I so wish Hardspace had an official VR mode! I would legitimately consider buying VR just for that game alone, being that immersed in space and being able to use your hands to manipulate the tools...

        I so wish Hardspace had an official VR mode! I would legitimately consider buying VR just for that game alone, being that immersed in space and being able to use your hands to manipulate the tools and float through space would be fantastic.

        I know there's VR mods for it but that sounds like a lot of work for something I know little about :/

        For sure. Because, if for no other reason, clones are a natural fit for unions.

      Honestly what annoyed me most about this is that they cut off the Blue Danube when they did. The best part was next! Otherwise, yes, this looks extremely cool.

    1:1 scale solar system... Neat, but also I wonder how they're going to speed up travel times.

      The steam page says it's only the Saturnian system, I think the trailer is saying it's 1:1 (within the context of our) solar system. Would love to be wrong though

      Maybe there won't be a need if the loading times be hefty. There could be an elevator between planets, for instance.

      Color me sceptical, but I will be happy to be wrong. In general game sounds really interesting, especially with VR support.

    This looks incredibly fun. I’m so curious how the atmosphere will effect flight

    This goes into the ever growing pile of Early Access/Coming Soon™ wishlist of space games.

    After burning out on cargo hauls in Elite: Dangerous and getting utterly disappointed with indie equivalents like Star Trucker, all I want is a game flow similar ETS2/ATS in space and this looks to be right up my alley.

    Just the balance of simulation that there's always something to do and but not making it feel like watching a loading screen or the game playing itself. I'm willing to handwave how the space V-22 Osprey works given the claim of realistic simulation.

    Will be interesting to see if there's a flight computer and how you'll plot orbital maneuvers around, it was easy to do in Kerbal Space Program given the view.

    I am very disappointed this wasn’t Space Harrier as I misread the title.
