These guys are giving the current dev version of the game for free in preparation for their next update.
Get it through their official site while it's hot.

Looks very promising, checking it out.
Thanks!

So, I managed to get this game and yes, it's a greeeat looking game, those visuals remind me of very well done factions on Starsector definetly.

New content patch, new trailer.

Go mess those bureaucratic overlords up.

I've tried to play this and just can't get into it... It feels even more aimless and empty than SS and the blueprints suck out much of the the fun and design of the game

Sadly I too really fell out of love for that game because of all those barriers between you and the fun part of the game: designing big ships and get them into troubles. I don't want to grind for hours with every new start before I can finally get some enjoyment. All I want to get the blueprints of all their components when analyzing a ship so that I can immediately toy with the layout.

I have a few questions about the game that I really should be asking on their forum, but hey, I'm more familiar with this one and there's already a discussion thread here, so hope someone would take the time:

Is there a crew on your ship? Or are you alone piloting everything? If there is, how is crew management done?

You guys are mentioning ship customization, how does that work? Ship exterior shapes are pretty fixed I'm guessing (with premade sprites), can you change the interior? How much freedom do you have in doing so?

They shut down their own forums so right now only the steam forums are up.
You start out alone and can eventually hire others for free
As for the ship customization, it is really REALLY specific. I would say that it is somewhat similar to Factorio. You have to route power around the ship through capacitors. The interior is completely customizeable AS LONG as you have the blueprints for ALL the parts. If you don't, you can't remove them at all, even if you capture the ship and bring it in to be disassembled and scanned in...

WTF is still a demonstration that building a tech idea (completely modifiable 2D ships where all the parts are meaningful) is completely different than making it Fun.  Reassembly did pretty much the same thing, but it had a good-enough core game design and premise; there was something to do and meaningful goals (especially building epic death-fleets to inflict on random people online, lol).  

I’ll be the first to say that WTF has gotten better than the first time I played it, where it was a poorly-optimized mess.  But it’s still not very fun, because the mechanics are still broken if you even slightly care about optimizing your designs; it remains fun in theory but largely a drama-less chore to play (and the Blueprint barrier didn’t help, it just added grind).

From what I've seen on videos actually piloting a ship looks nowhere near as fun as it is in SS. Just collision-less jousting and pixel-hunter style shooting.

It seems like this is dead in the water but after talking with the Dev it seems like they are in this for a long run, like Alex for StarSector, they are just seemingly overwhelmed with the project....Dev's are not doing a good job at updating the game or communicating, even their website disappeared but they say they are working on it as well...apparently they are struggling a lot, there's an update up and hanging in the air for several months now. Also they are planning to have a separate multipalyer game, apparently with discount or even free version for owners of WTF. We'll see. Jan seems like a genuinely and passionate guy just like Alex here. They need to put some life in the game, because right now it's pretty much a techdemo, maybe with the next update it will happen and we gonna have something to play in parallel with Starsector.
