If you are interested,google Kinetic Void or search it on Steam.The lead dev,Sean,is a nice guy who is active in the community.Thats right,he often says when they plan to launch the new patch and stuff.They also worked hard to make the game avaible to Linux and Mac(and they did it).
Now,about the game.Now pretty much is doing missions and ship building,the last one being my favorite part.But the devs plan to add a economy with trade routes and all the fancy stuff,diplomacy,mining,and a lot of other stuff.
