5 Stars is for the Publisher
I forgot Crescent Moon was the PUBLISHER and not the Developer. I have modified my updated 1 star review. The game was 5 stars until they added IAP "buy credits" which is unacceptable for a paid game. If people need me re credits it means the games economy isn't properly balanced or they are playing on the wrong difficulty. I am 100% FOR IAP that expands in game content such as second campaigns, expanded universe, etc, as long as its content not cut from the game and added back as IAP. I support game developers and publishers by buying games instead of downloading free ones, and almost always buy all the IAP addons however I NEVER support IAP buy gem/gold nonsense as that junk is ruining the video game industry. After contacting Crescent Moon Games (the publisher), Josh got back to me immediately and said that the new "buy credits" IAP was unacceptable in a paid game, and would be removed. That's why I support this publisher! Thank you!

Interesting game but too hard
Way too hard. Early on the escort missions require you to kill the enemies fast but then get to places within seconds. Trying over and again and still can't get them. Each time I get to a base i sell the cargo but then if I quit the game, I have to make sure that the cargo is sold again. No real save function and you lose what you bought that last time. Too many silly problems...

Fishlabs lost out...
I had been looking at this game for a while now but was patiently waiting for GOF3. Sadly the developers decided to go down the pay to play route with the 3rd instalment and I'm simply not interested in that. I've always respected Crescent Moon and their games. I've purchased many games now and this one is another solid example. Some have commented it's not quite GOF2 but I feel it's pretty much on par with that game. The scale of the systems is fantastic, giving you a real sense of depth and the sheer scale of space itself. The missions are interesting and varied. The graphics and colours used are superb. The trade and upgrade system is also pleasing for me to use. Very good effort guys. I can't wait for Morphite!

Glitchy
The game needs work. I would say this games ok but, there is a glitch that dose not allow you to aim completely ruining any play. In most fights you can "lock on" making it straight forward, however when reinforcements arrive you can no longer "lock on" this wouldn't be to bad if shields dint recharge or if normal aiming wasn't like ice-skating blindfolded.

Almost ... but not even...
If this is a first effort by young developers it's not bad, otherwise ...Needs much help ... too frustrating to play.
Game play jerky ... do you really want to see"Stellar Wanderer" every time you use the jump gate?
- Make all transitions as seamless as possible.
Game saves don't work every time.
- Come on! This is basic.
- And when a mission fails don't make the player re-load equipment changes.
Missions are sometimes too hard for available equip. ... That wouldn't be a problem if you could do side missions, but game won't let you.

Game is Extremely Entertaining, Addicting, and a Sci-Fi Favorite for me.
I personally completed the game. I enjoyed the game a lot, and I personally enjoy playing a game with good missions. I love it so much, in fact, I propose an addition to Stellar Wanderer. I loved the game and I think ways to expand this amazing game is either a Stellar Wanderer 2, or an expansion pack to the game. Also, I have never have ever seen a game that includes controlling a ship bigger than the size of a fighter/corvette, and if you can make an open world Corvette(Big), Cruiser, Battleship, Captial ship, etc. I would absolutely love it. Anyways, amazing game, and keep up the great work!

Not quite as good as gof
Fun at first but repetitive missions and terrible non-optional racing quest spoiled by horrible hit boxes. Buy if you have already completed gof and space miner.
Good
First impressions are good. Stellar Wanderer seems more interesting than Galaxy on Fire, which didn't hold my interest for long. And it has more depth and more detailed ships and space environments than Rogue Star, which I preferred to GOF. It's a shame you don't have the option of a female pilot. And the flight radar doesn't come close to the original Elite. It looks great, even if space does seem a bit bright. May be I should just turn down my screen brightness!

Like Galaxy on Fire, but worse -- less expensive though
As soon as I bought this game, I knew I had played it before. The mechanics, the missions, pretty much everything is a clone of GoF. This game is less expensive, but also less rich and with far poorer graphics. I'm sad that the developers made a WORSE version of GoF instead of a better one.
Great Game!
This is a great game. If you have trouble with the racing mission, get a ship with good handling. I17 is a good ship. Have not completed the game yet.
