So is anyone playing the free trial? I've been too busy to check it out myself. I wouldn't mind hearing some impressions about the gameplay.
DArt, where you at dude?

What's the other game, by the way?

A grand space travel game in which you barely travel through space. That's....something.

Another one of my serious kick starter regrets, possibly the most egregious of them all. Even Avatar eventually produced....something.
Already answered but the game was spilt in two. The original concept will be an online server based game, and the SP version is now called Squadron 42 playable offline.

I'm sure the intent is to focus on the online game, to sucker more fools into random weekly/monthly purchases. That's the kind of dog that just won't hunt for me anymore, I'm onto those shenanigans!
Yes, let's keep repeating the same things. 
To think I almost backed for squadron 42. God, I really want another freespace (or wc1).
I tried star wars Squadron for just a couple of hours but you could definitely feel the emphasis on the multiplayer aspect with the story tacked on. But perhaps I disregarded it too quickly.

That's the thing; everyone wants a new next-gen space game because the potential is unlimited when you have a whole universe but the reality is it's an unlimited amount of work that can never be done. SC just sells you your dreams.
If you think about all the work that goes into just one city in a GTA game then even a single planet is an impossible task.
I think I've said it before but the only real way to make the game everyone wants is to have a free, open source engine with easy to use tools that let players create content and watch it evolve over hundreds of years.
But there's no money in that. Maybe someone could build it and hope to keep it alive off donations, but it would probably be a pretty buggy one man passion project with no marketing and would have difficulty taking off.

I've heard and read excellent reports on Everyspace two, once it's fully out and available that's a game I just might have to get.
Ok, Everspace 2 is really looking good. Thanks, though I will wait for the full release. I must admit that I mixed it up with Eve online for a moment.
Is Everspace 1 also worth checking out? Seems to have rogue-lite elements.

Star Citizen Has Now Cost More to Develop Than GTA V, Cyberpunk, and RDR Combined
Star Citizen has $590 million dollars raised, costing more than GTA V, Cyberpunk, and RDR2 combined. Find out more here.

The most expensive video game ever is something you’ve probably never heard of
It’s not GTA 5 or Cyberpunk 2077 that’s cost the most to make but a game that’s had a bigger budget than both combined - and still isn’t finished.

We should do a poll on this one: Vapor-ware or never-ware? =p
At least someone's laughing all the way to the bank, the sad part being some of that loot used to belong to me. -xxx

Squadron 42 I'd call vaporware. Star Citizen proper needs a more accurate description.

It's a genre of very lucrative vapor-ware.
They've looted me too. Maybe I'll play Squadron 42 one day, though I don't know on which planet we'll live by then. I'm sure a Starfield mod could do a decent replacement.
