It's FTL but with a greater emphasis on ship design and upgrading. Procedurally generated sandbox universe. Mining, trading, missions, combat, exploration, diplomacy.

You have your ship management window on one side, and universe window on the other. You can resize the windows and rearrange the widgets and all, it's all very user-friendly. It's not in a playable state yet. Unless you count just designing ships and playing around with them
That part's pretty much done and it's fun! But actually interacting with the universe is still quite primitive, so I'm starting on that now.
There's gonna be loads and loads of star systems, each with dozens of planets and the works. You're gonna need to get resources by either mining, shooting up the civilian trader ships or completing missions for the game's various factions. The further you travel from your starting point, the tougher the enemies are gonna be so you're gonna have to upgrade your ship fast, yo!
And the ship management part is all about assigning your crewmembers to their stations, putting out fires and repairing hull breaches and busted fusion cores. There's also a Gunpoint-esque 'hack-view' where you manage your ship's network and do your best to optimize it and all. It's great.
It's my first game so I'm getting bored already, making this devlog to motivate myself.
Please tell me if it interests you. Also if you have a better name for it, lemme know.
