Just found this one today, its a spaceship sandbox, you start in a "pod" and have to mine, destroy, scavenge to find materials and money, with those you can build your actual ship, shipyards have seed-randomized construction and after that you can add blocks and weapons individually where you want to. The map is huge and it supports multiplayer, so far iv played only around 10 minutes so i dont know much yet, but it haves lots of potential for sure. Its not released yet and the download is around 100 mb. It may not have the DIY of corneroids but its in a much better state at the moment.

This looks cool.

How do you do something other than moving and mining however?

[Dutchling]

Didn't watch it

Havent played much so i dont know if there is any quest system, but with: [M (map)> click a sector> right click it> mark it in the nav computer> SPACE (jump button)] you can explore other sectors, so far i found npc ships and ships cementerys, if you kill other ships you can get your weapons and it seems there is a Faction system.

[Dutchling]

But how do you build?

[ukulele]

Get close to a Shipyard and press the intereact button, once that is done, press B to add extra guns/engines etc, the video its a mini-tutorial of sorts i guess.

[Dutchling]

Where do you find shipyards?

edit: nvm found one

is there any way to tell how many turrets your ship will have when making it?

[Megaman]

You attach turrets onto your ship after making it.

Ooh, I'm taking a look at this.

I just wish he had other sources for the download, as of right now it will take over an hour for a 100mb.

Just so many free uploads out there FOR indie games to use, for free.

Other than that this looks awesome.

Very interesting. Will download, test, and recruit friends. A quick look on the forums says we CAN play multiplayer right now... 'tis a bit complex though.

I must admit i didnt share it becouse i want to spread happines, but becouse multiplayer its where i think the potential is.

is there any other tech level than iron?

i found some naonite and the blue material, but i cant mine them with just iron-class beams

I have found titanium and nothing else, but i didnt play much, when you target asteroids, you can see what "they have inside", also to get new weapons you need to get them from killing AI ships. Acording to the game wiki you have to travel towards the center of the galaxy to find harder enemies/better materials (i think).
