- For
- Players curious about nearby stars and spaceflight
- Worth noticing
- The game distinguishes ship-time from Earth-time: a five-light-year trip can take a minute aboard while about five years pass on Earth.
Field notes
Fuel accumulates in orbit and continues filling while the player is away; burning more of it shortens the trip, and additional fuel can be used mid-flight. The star data is drawn from Gaia and the HYG Database, while several physical properties are estimates and the game explicitly separates its fuel and acceleration rules from real physics. Its broader shared-universe ambitions are presented as an overview, distinct from the one-ship experience described as playable now.
