Tried this for a tiny bit. I dunno what to think yet. Is it an indie-like love letter to space/hard sci-fi or a really weird and shallow B team effort? The idea is to gather resources with your drone to progress through the missions and enable your mobile space station to travel around the solar system to different points of interest for more drone missions and eventually get the fuck out of there with interstellar travel to find a new home for the remaining 5000 strong human population that's presumably in stasis as it takes years to go from place to place on the map but the population remains intact so far. So there are the mission areas where you control the drone, one of many you can eventually acquire/build or something and the map screen where you move the whole station around. You can rotate the camera and zoom in toward and out away from the drone you control. It has semi realistic newtonian space flight but a very simple interface that automates a lot of it so you don't need to do calculations to go from a to b or anything, it controls very simply and effortlessly to the point I don't know where the gameplay will come from, the missions so far are rigid and just going in the proximity of resources acquired them like Super Mario coins, the control is simple as said already so, is it gonna time limit you, is it gonna send you to tighter spaces so you need to manage your drone more thoroughly, or what exactly, will the map open up and give you more opportunity to basically do something on your own and decide things strategically? There's mining and stuff in the trailers so perhaps those pose some kind of challenge but so far it's nothing like say, Hardspace: Shipbreaker or learning to control real space station stuff as in Mission: ISS.
