While the game in its current state is relatively playable it is sadly unfinished.

The UI is rather clunky and unfinished. The AI even more so.

There doesn't seem to be any dynamic events other than meteor strikes and random raiders which given the basic nature of the AI means that a lot of your personnell will be left dead and dying on the floor. There was no effort put in to making the Random derelict encounters anything other than a randomly generated set of rooms to be a "starship" or chunk of space station and they pop into exisence randomly on the map sometimes popping in attached to your base.

All in all it is a stable game which is sparse and empty that will hopefully be completed by mod teams into something a little more robust.

However this only serves to prove that Double Fine missed the while point of what utelizing early access is for and clearly started this project with the hopes of funding it exclusively through EA rather than making sure they had the capital to put out a product.

For the price its going for you'll get a better deal by either waiting for Starbound, Planet Explorers, or Space Engineers to get out of alpha and into beta.
