❤ Cargo Delivery

The core gameplay loop centers around picking up crates at one location, carefully loading them into your ship, navigating to the destination planet, and unloading the cargo. This repeatable task provides a steady stream of objectives to complete, and players have found it to be highly engaging and addictive, as it offers a satisfying sense of progression through ship upgrades and exploring new star systems.

❤ Ship Maintenance

Alongside cargo deliveries, you must regularly check various systems like the engine, thrusters, and life support, and repair any issues that arise. While this may initially seem like a chore, many players have come to enjoy this ship management aspect, as it grounds you in the day-to-day operations of operating a spaceship. Effectively juggling repair tasks and cargo deliveries creates a rewarding sense of ship management.

❤ Procedural Exploration

As you travel between delivery destinations, you'll encounter a procedurally generated galaxy, with a variety of different star systems, planets, and random encounters to explore. While some have noted a degree of repetition in the randomly generated content, the overall sense of discovery and exploration has been widely praised. You can survey planets, assist distressed ships, and uncover hidden upgrades, providing a steady stream of activities to engage with.

❤ Progression and Customization

As you progress, you can upgrade various systems on your ship, from the engine to the cargo hold. This progression system incentivizes you to keep delivering cargo and exploring the galaxy in order to acquire the resources needed for ship improvements. Additionally, you can customize the appearance of your ship and character, allowing for a greater sense of ownership and personalization.

By completing tasks and missions for these characters, you can increase your relationship levels, unlocking new dialogue, abilities, and narrative content. Many players have found great enjoyment in the writing and personalities of the crew members, with some becoming invested in their individual stories and character arcs.
