Build your ship any way you please.
Whether you want to build a small but nimble ship with a small crew, or a large battleship with lots of crew, the choice is yours. Just ensure you have enough supplies to manage your crew and keep your ship functioning.

Careful consideration must be used when placing doors and your power systems in case of breaches or other hazards.

Explore a procedurally generated galaxy.
Each time you play, the game's events system will generate a different galaxy for you to explore. Whichever difficulty you choose will influence how this galaxy or events are generated.

Exploration is key to survival.
Stay in one place for too long or get stranded and your crew will surely die. You must keep moving and find other ships or factions to trade with in order to survive.

Crew needs and moods.
The needs of your crew must be met in order to keep your ship fully functioning. An angry crew may rebel, decide not to work or give up completely. Ensure you have enough food and water to feed your crew. You must also choose your captain wisely.

Complex combat and medical simulations.
Fight other spaceships with ship to ship combat. Gear up and board your enemies or descend to a planet and attack them on the ground. Ensure you have a medic bay and spare limbs to patch up your fallen heroes.

Extensive mod support.
All the game's data is stored in JSON files. This means it is extremely easy to change anything currently in the game and even add new ones. In the future we plan to expand on this even further.

Currently only those that are registered at these forums can see this post and I will probably keep it that way for a while. This is still just a hobby project and there are no guarantees anything will be released.

I have been playing around with the background, adding new particles and shaders instead of a moving painted background.

Which looks better, the picture below or the pictures above?

I personally like the black space background, the blue one don't feel good to me.

The blue is just the shader for the nebulae. It will change colour depending on certain events or where you are in the solar system. So it can react to the sun if you pass one, turning the nebulae yellow
