    It's legit mind-blowing to me. Such a cool game. Too bad my CPU can't handle it properly! 🥲 X3 is cool but I primarily play on a laptop monitor and the UI is too small if I don't lower the resolution and make everything blurry. If only there was a mod for scalable UI.

    #Starbase, Pausing on development is not a train smash. The emphasis you based on this statement is concerning! You do not know the circumstances around why the developers stopped for a brief period & did not put context to it either. So I would "err" on the caution of your message.

    Astrox Imperium is single developer game with rocks just as 'huggable' as in Eve. 'Huggable' in a sense of graphically pleasing textures that will make you want to fly around at much lower distance that is permitted by your mining laser and feast your eyes.

    There are so many excellent space games out there that folks are just unaware of! These were some great space titles- super thrilled to see X3: Farnham's Legacy up there! I absolutely adore X3: Albion Prelude (likely my favorite of the series). Some titles I'd recommend: - Evochron Mercenary (space sim- very similar to Elite / #StarCitizen - Chaos Galaxy (guilty-pleasure space/anime-ish wargame that's just a gem) - Distant Worlds: Universe (grand strategy / 4x - perhaps my favorite game of all time) - Helium Rain (space sim- similar again to Elite / Star Citizen but more artistic) Thanks again for sharing!

    I never heard of astrox. i see it came out 2019 and its still.... in early access. guess that is kinda the norm now, longer Eas... my first thought was pulsar. game that came and went in space games to play... i want to play it but last i heard the AI doesnt do well if u play solo. i dont have 3-4 friends lol. Personally this day and age with games. i feel a game should have 1 of 2 things. A demo. that ofc limits ur progression. but unlimited time... or some sort of rental- trial period. Elite dangerous, x4 foundations just to name a few took me good 10+hours to get just the raw basics to get going. took me good 20-30 hours game time before i finally could traverse the universe somewhat competantly in elite dangerous..... almost gone are the days of the 2-4 hour games u load up day 1 and beat in 4 or less hours and never play again. these open world games need to make it cheaper for the new players to get into them. it really help them stand out atm too. flip side. 7 days to die is coming out of EA? can it be? finally....lol
