Well, especially since this game is called 'Galactic Princess', it needs more princess.

managing is a highly modular starship build around a sentient AI's core? the game is about both upgrading the ship and teaching the AI,
hell no.
i now have imaginations about some space black and white bullcrap in my head.

Exactly.  When I see that sort of title, I think "Oh, I are space-princess!~"  Not "I am looking for space-princess"

Like, everyone thinks the main character of Legend of Zelda is named Zelda, and we don't call the Mario games "Peach" or something.  That would just be weird.

SO COME ON GALACTIC PRINCESS, I WANT TO BE A PRINCESS

I might kickstart the minimum amount just to request additional princess.

That... sort of came out of left field, didn't it? At what point did I reference B&W, or even suggest mechanics like those in it? I'm talking about a management game/ship designer/FTL-like combination. Also, from a purely technical standpoint, ships don't, as you put it, "shit".

Mictlantecuhtli, make a note to tell the devs their ships should shit more.

...curse you.  Now I have "unorthodox" methods for a ship to remove secondary byproducts from its reactor and life support systems vying for my attention.

Bioships, you princessless fool! Not only do they shit, when they do it, it counts as orbital bombardment. The great death poo from the sky! *rainbow*

... seriously though, as Cul notes, ships have unwanted byproducts just as much as fleshier things. They just tend to have to have folks climb around inside them and manually remove their crap, instead of the ship doing the work itself. On that thought, though, I'm now wondering if it wouldn't be better if ships were built to take the occasional potty break.

That's assuming that the ship is inefficient enough to have large clumps of solid waste. Remember that if we're talking human-analogue there are two different waste-disposal processes/systems. If you're anywhere within a few kilometers of ideal you'll be recycling most of your waste and the remainder will be minor at best, or otherwise salable as scrap when you reach port. Unless you're running your spaceship by burning coal or something, but that'd be silly. :V

Also, I am now thoroughly reminded of that scene in the Apollo 13 film where they space their urine. That was an amazingly tasteful shot.

Well, the lack of option for a female captain would sadden me too. But I do not think they specifically said captains will be male only, or did I miss that?

Other then that - yeah, first thing the art reminded me of was also that kickstarted planet/space exploration game I can't remember name of. And right now, I too am not quite convinced about it. Feels like it would be easy to miss important info, especially if they mess that "get information from on-ship displays" part. And on top of that...I don't know, there's nothing that would really ring my bell, nothing really new.
I could be wrong of course.
Ship customization looks fine. And there's no saying that in the end it won't be just a plain fun game in it's core.

Nope, it was Interstellaria. I actually had it bookmarked, huh.

There is of course a difference in art, Interstellaria being even more "retro" and with more clean look, but actors being stickman-like was what caught my attention. It could be GlyphGryph was thinking something entirely else.

And it's seems I somehow managed to miss entire discussion about pooping ships.
Curses.
