the absence of a single-player sandbox style space role-playing game with strategic elements, then found out about it from the vid totalbiscuit did.
the released version of SPAZ was pretty abysmal, starfarer even as an alpha is way beter already, i mean, watching the menu screen is more satisfying than playing SPAZ.
i have the say though, im not playing the game too much just yet simply because of its format atm, im really looking forward to the free roaming, RPG side of things. cant wait for 0.50a to come out.
in the mean time, have any of you heard for captain forever/captain successor? it's a really sandboxy minimalistic space shooter that has a un-rivaled ship building system, you should go try it out, capt forever is free, bit successor is ~$9 iirc.
