This is one online space sim that i have missed but started playing since 10 minutes ago.

It has a space part with all the works (trading,pirating,improving you ship) and a planet part (you build the economy,seems complex,it takes a lot of time to build it,but it has many relaxing games to fill your time in between).

You can play only space or only planet,you can play both.

This game might be a revelation to you.

Download the game,install it,start it,make a username and enjoy 😀

The only problem i see with it is the lack of players atm.

From what i know the players are very helpful and the game has an ingame chat incorporated.

Time for me to return in the game.
