I tried it like a year ago? Lasted about 2 weeks before I refunded. It was a stuttery mess for me. They have to reset the servers because they go to crap constantly. Several times a day I would run into some game breaking bug that, when I googled it, I would find people talking about how its been that way for years and then there would be the 15 step 20 minute work around. I remember one in particular...I decided to try crime. Did some smuggling to this (honestly really cool) outlaw base in an asteroid. Once I got there I couldn't sell. People said its just like that and keep trying. Gave up after a few days of trying to sell there. Any and all complaints about anything wrong with the game are met with frothing screams of the world alpha and thats how things are in gaming when a game is this 'early in development'

Its a shame because beneath under the Everest size mountain of bugs and poorly optimized crap is my dream space game.

It has the potential to be an amazing game. But it probably never will be.

I fire it up once or twice per year. It looks great. Beyond that... it's kind of fun to explore a bit, but that's pretty much it. Not sure if anything will ever become of it.
