I got roped in by a former schoolmate in 2013 or whenever their kickstarter was. I liked freelancer and thought this would be something like that. I took the smallest pack for around thirty bucks. I tried it every couple of years but it always was just a janky mess that barely functioned with an almost cult like following. Really strange one this.

Allegedly someone is making a Freelancer-esque like open world space game. Its called "Underspace", and it looks decent. Release sometime in the first half of this year, I think.

Thank you, loved freelancer, will keep an eye out for it.

Looks very cool, cautious optimism here...

Oh, that looks pretty cool! I saw they have a demo on itch.io. I'll give that a spin when I get home. Thanks for sharing!

Everspace 1 (Roguelite) and Everspace 2 (RPG) both were built with the Freelancer mindset. I can highly recommend both!

They're both very good.

I've been paying Helium Rain. It's free to play on steam. No micro transactions or anything. It's Newtonian physics though.
