I have been playing this roguelike for a little while, its kinda neat.
It's a space exploration type game where you get paid for mining planets and discovering new life forms. Lots of good stuff in there, but it still very beta.
Enjoy!

Edit: New updates here

OH HELL YES.  That looks awesome.

Been playing the hell out of this since Roguetemple posted 0.13 a few weeks back. This is like, my dream game, and something like I'd imagined the end game of Spore to be like as well. I can only hope it gets even better from here

[Drakale]

Yeah its on to a good start. If it get even more random event and planet types, it will rival with my favorite RLs. The game score are recorded too, which is a big bonus for me.

New version today I just found, this one moves the ship stats into an easily editable CSV file

Hm. Cool, I'll try it out. But I hate rouge-likes.

Game looks interesting, but the learning curve is steep. 
Couple questions:
1) How do you buy stuff at the station?  I went to trading, hit "buy", choose the goods, and it popped up something that looked like a request for a number of goods to buy....but none of my keys (I tried them all) would change the number from 0.  I have a Japanese laptop (Japanese as in keyboard layout, not maker) so I suspect the problem may lie there...
2) What is the point of going to planets?  They seem like a good way to get killed, but I haven`t found anything valuable there yet, despite racking up a large number of deaths from  an impressive array of nasties.  (from Angry Avian to Armed Reptile)
Definitely looks fun tho.

1) + and -.

2)You can get items, collect resources, and you get paid to explore planets.
Report back to the Industry or whatever after a mission.

Sowelu is struck by the spinning XspellingX!
Sowelu's left eye and right eye are pierced!
Sowelu has been struck down.

I'm not sure if I can get past the "ship select" screen.

Chose ship!
Maxmium shield!
Highrade equipment!

Just tried it out, it's awesome, probably one of those games I fantasize at night.... *Herrrm cough* anyways, there are few things that could make it better, but only if it was set in medieval times... and had you controlling dwarves... now that would be a cool game.

I noticed that, I think English isn't his first language.

Oh, and Space Pirates are assholes.

Gave it a try anyway, and oh man this gives me my Starflight fix.  AWESOME, if very simple.

I like the little touches, like being able to radio your ship and ask IT to come to YOU...

Oh yeah, and

An old miner tells you a tall tale about a planet he worked on. Short version: they dug too deep and released invisible monsters that drove them off the planet.

[Drakale]

Most "Special" planets are based on well known sci-fi movies or books. Its one of the aspect I like the less about the game, I feel like it would be more fun to stumble into something completely original...

Oh man, I just died there!  Losing a two man crew to invisible monsters is no fun!  Especially when you get the message "? multiplies itself" (or similar).  So it is apparently some sort of ooze or something that splits...

Made in freebasic. Awesome I can learn a lot from this.
