Took a chance with this again and bought the Steam version through Humble and this time I was able to get the key, don't know if Humble have changed it's policy or it has some thing to do with the shenanigans which has being going on with the Steam login last week. Just started playing the game and so far pretty good, bit of an odd trading system as you can only sell goods which the station trader want to buy and I have not seen any combat yet although as you don't have any direct control of you ship I'm not sure how this will play out. Seem to have all the usual thing associated with space trading games ie ship upgrades, trade good, missions and buying new ships apart from the direct control of your ship and the main part of the game seems to be keeping your crew happy and working.

It's a mobile game so you wont be spending a hundred hours playing it and it seems to be more of a crew simulation, their not much in the way of mission that can picked from the bar, seems to only four types at the moment and the research could have been better explained as in how to research the rooms ect. Been attacked by a pirate ship and the games combat seems pretty basic as in both ship just fly towards each other shooting until one blow up or surrenders and as I had no guns fitted I ended up surrendering which just entail loosing some cash. Although in the three times it happened yesterday twice no cash was given to the pirate although it may have been cargo that was exchanged or it's a bug.Also I seem to loose cargo space not sure if it's a bug or some thing I needed to do like repairing the rooms or cleaning them?. One thing I don't like is the fact that you have no save slots, the game only save when you quit and not sure now if I start a game in the sandbox mode will I lose my save game from the story mode. EditSpent a few hours with this now and the trader at the station will buy all good but they will only take so much of the items they don't use and so you eventually max them out.Also what I thought was a bug in combat turned out to a run away feature where you don't get involved in a fight.

Looks like chasing carrots are moving on from the game with this latest update from Steam http://steamcommunity.com/games/320340/announcements/detail/907844751364934352[/url] and if that is the case maybe the should take it out of early access. Hello fellow Cosmonauticans,we're back with a few small changes which should help regarding some crashes and other problems.Right now we're working on a new project and therefore not full time on Cosmonautica. A bigger update would require a lot of evaluation and maybe re-designing of certain things. Time we really don't have right now, since we're a small team.So for now we will make small changes here and there from time to time and then we'll see how we can improve more in the future.Still, we're not turning our backs and just let this go as you can see. But we hope you can understand our side.If you have any questions, feel free to write us an e-mail or here in the Cosmonautica Steam forums. The problem with the 2nd and 3rd skill in the task assignment screen got fixedFixed the ‘Endangered Species’ mission, it can now be successfully finishedA small bug in the campaign, chapter ‘N1L’s origin’ is also fixedLocked skills can no longer be previewed via the ?-buttons in the promotion popupRemoved the ‘Loot ammo’ button and ammunition sliders from the loot interfaceFinishing a research in hyper travel no longer gives you the option to go to the research lab, which might be causing crashes on some machinesHave fun with the new update and please post us your feedback, we're still reading and checking up on you. Thank you very much for your support :)Your Chasing CarrotsDominik, Patrick, Daniel, Patrick, Markus and Josef
