Just saw it on youtube
Starship Theory is a ship building survival game.

This should be part two of rim world when you build the ship and go to space

So if Rimworld is Dwarf Fortress in space, and this is Rimworld in Space, does that make Starship theory "Dwarf Fortress in space in space?"

Heh, I guess it would.

Looks interesting, and certainty worth watching.

From what I've seen/heard - it's super customizable, you can change pretty much every color on your ship.

That's not exactly the ringing endorsement of customization that I want to hear. I mean, if someone tells me that a game has customizable weapons, I'm going to be right put out if customization means that the gun comes in three trillion different color and pattern combinations.

Still, my interest is indeed tickled.

Sadly, that just doesn't moisten my giblets. Honestly, with that nice building system, I'm hoping the ship-to-ship destruction is as nuanced. Hull breaches are always fun.

Yeah, the shooting is destroying individual elements, and you can breach hulls.

Hmm.. I think the whole "Building up your starship" in space is kinda odd after watching a few gameplay vids. I think what I would like to see is that you build your initial ship up either at a space station or something before sending it out, or you can build up space stations or star ships of your own to build other ships as well.

I've always liked the idea of having your one adventuring ship that you can fully customize.

Am I missing something or are you just going in a straight line and have no influence on what you encounter?

There is some aspect to changing what you see, but mostly, yes.
