This game needs to be on steam

I've been playing Star Sonata for over 10 years! On and off... It's fantastic. Bugs are features and there are lots of features, but somehow it works and the community works with them. No game breaker bugs. Amazing community. Get it on Steam. Get it advertised. Get it to spread like wild fire! Hit up Abbara ingame when you join and thank me....

Abyssal Controls

The game is okay, but the controls is crazy. Why I cant remap the fire key to mouse button? Firing from a space bar is dumb. Another thing, this game doesnt allow camera movement from mouse?

Is this game...

Is this game the one with space mice that you kill? I remember an old game I use to play long ago where you could kill space mice as a new player.

Fixed a bug that caused item linked tool tips to crash the client when clicked.
Floaties no longer vanish if the object is targeted and object type is check marked under section of "Display Float Icons" under Display Options.
Alt+Click no longer unequips items when clicking hotbar. This was removed due to limitations with how windows works with alt+tab causing alt to get stuck on and unequip items while players trying to use their hotbar.

Bot/AI now factor in scoop range/ship size when using their scoop. Should improve the reaction, speed and feeling of using a bot to scoop loot.
- Hint: hold shift and right click while a combat bot is highlighted to send multiple scoop commands.
The server now auto displays in the construction tab if a blueprint builds multiple and what the qty is.
Missions that reward both skill and item will no longer be hidden from player if they already have the skill.
Muted player can now invite non team members / mutual friends , every 2 minute. Inviting teammates or mutual friends do not affect the cooldown.
