    3.20 has been a great launch

    Should see 4.0 soon bringing some of the last big architecture needed for the full universe

    This game is taking so long because they are leading the way in this field of technology. What they are building has substantial technological hurdles - not just basic game design

      It’s taking so long because their business model is selling ships and promises and never delivering.

        Yeah, for a space sim those spaceships are awfully expensive… considering you pay with actual money. I like my games to be fun, Not ever-expanding money sinks.

          I see this mentioned from time to time, but my understanding is that all ships can technically be bought with in game currency, it just takes a long ass time to get them.

      Nice try Chris. You can’t puff up a substandard product without admitting you’ve done such a bad job at so many aspects of this scam that you’ve had to redo, like, all of it

      Note: I do not blame you, you are raking in mucho bucks with no end in sight to the gravy train. Keep chugging!
