This game is awesome
A solid 4 star. Could use some improvements w updates.
Different star types, and especially binary and trinary systems with planets which can orbit in a stable way, would be another suggestion. This is a particular issue since we are learning that systems with multiple stars are quite common.
Game is fun enough that I keep returning to it periodically, but the issues with orbits make me often resort to slapping planets and moons into “locked” position, to stop them flying off into deep space, or gradually spiralling into their sun.
Also, very simple fix- description of the different star and planet characteristics, like the lifespan of stars, heat, etc, would be a bonus for younger players or any other people who don’t have a lot of Astronomy/ science background, but just think space is cool, and are learning.
I realize these updates or changes would be a substantial amount of dev work, but perhaps it could be a “paid” version, selling for a few $? Or a 2.0? It’s been a long time since this game was released, maybe time for a sequel with an option to buy a more complete version?
