So i bought it as well. runs like a charm for me.
However i think there is a bug with ore. I can mine an ansteroid but once that's done the ore just sits in the cargo bay and i can't do anythign with it.
Can't sell it or even jettison because i get a red "invalid container" message.
I can buy ore from stations just fine... but then i'm stuck with it since it's impossible to do anything with it.

Also the game could use more NPC life. Right now it's either pirates spawning near you (at least i think so) or sitting around waiting for you to get close.
Some A-life would be nice with factions trying to grab more territory NPC miners/traders going arund their buisness and all that jazz... but hey alpha is alpha i guess.

Well, it's an alpha. There are still bugs, unfortunately. This particular one has been fixed in v0.7.10c, though.

As for suggestions - certainly, that's what are are gonna do. Make the game better with each update! :)

It wouldn't be fair :) It took more than a year to get to that stage!

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

After some flying in the Freighter i noticed a strange design decision. Both of its guns cover only the front hemisphere... and it barely makes sense since its not an assault ship.
Imo the hardpoints should be moved to the middle and offer 170 or 180 degrees of coverage.
Changing the guns to energy would also help it being more defensive since beams destroy some projectiles, however i guess you want it to have a low tech feeling to it so its ok with (maybe adding a flak cannon that explodes into a cloud of projectile destroying and laser unfocusing shrapnel would help with that?).

Beyond that i don't have tooo much to say. Alpha is still alpha.

You are right about the Freighter. It was a design decision. But there will be different freighter ships. Including these with rear facing turrets.

As for "alpha is alpha" - well, it is alpha but the game is very complete in terms of features. The content is obviously lacking still, but in all honesty I think the game is very fun to play as is :)

I signed up to purchase this over 4 hours ago, and still no email.

Any issues with the confirmation emails being sent?

Oh, I contributed via IndieGoGo before realizing I could just buy the game directly from your site.

What's the turnaround on getting a key from IndieGoGo contributions?

Ah, guess I have to wait until the campaign is over.
