So what is in the game now?

[FlyinJ]

The early access description is pretty vague.

Is there an economy? Can you trade goods? Can you upgrade your ship? What does "1 maps containing missions to complete". What does it mean by "1 maps"? Is there just a small area with a few missions?

[RambleCan]

I would assume it's similar to the demo, mainly small missions to land in various places or dock in space. I don't think there's a planned economy or progression, it's purely about simulated space flying.

If you guys read the game description on the store page it mentions a freeroam-like mode called Rogue

[Pastro]

Yes, the opinions of those who have bought the game are appreciated.

[Sannois]

Have only done a few training sessions so far, some are recognisable from the demo, like learning to land, dock, re-entry etc. But also change ship, and a bit more.
There seems to bee a free roam mode available, as well as missions.

There's an info page that tells a little more of what is planned..

If you read the game description you would see that it is talking about what the full game has.

If you read the early access notes you would see that many features in the game description aren't in the early access version yet.

I usually buy these games and upload videos but so much games came out today with a similar price range, would be breaking bank lol

Well, the "Alpha Maps" button in the Main Menu also says "Pre-Campaign", make of that what you will. I am honest, I am too lazy to check right now, but I think there's more planned than just unconnected missions and flying around looking at nothing. How long it will take and what this all will include is another question, though.

So it's just a bunch of canned missions? How many are there?

Nothing "open world" like getting a mission from a place you landed at dynamically?

[Lanze]

There is an open world. Its seamless from orbit to surface, too. I havent actually played the Free Mode yet, so I cant say about dynamic missions yet.

[FlyinJ]

Can someone please answer if there is any structure or missions in the open world? Or is the current state just a few canned missions?

Not sure what the difference is between 'canned missions' and structured missions, but there are sort of standalone missions in the world. There are more training missions too. The demo is not all that much different than the full game right now. The missions are basically just static one-off 'fly from here to there' kinda deals.

Also, in the other thread the dev is giving out keys, so you can always try to ask for one.

That thread got deleted, I noticed. If the demo isn't that different from the full game, then that really doesn't justify the price. Looks like I was right to not purchase at this time.

As of right now the game is:
* Free flight - Start at one of a few predefined locations. Go do whatever you want
* Missions - Pick up missions at different ports and go do them. The missions I've done so far has been "Deliver this from A to B", "Find something roughly south-west from A, scan it, and report back" (scan is a new feature not shown in the demo, where you have to hover really bloody close to something for a significant time)
* Training - Like the demo, but more

How many missions are there in the game? The demo had 4 as I recall.

Free flight might be more interesting if the planet was more varied and had more things to see. If it's the same as in the demo, it's quite bland.

Ah so you do fly to different places to get missions? That's a lot more interesting than just having a canned mission you select from the main menu.
