Star Traders: Frontiers

It's an Early Access game but it's pretty awesome so I wanted to tell you guys about it.

Basically it's a spaceship/crew management in a Dune like universe where you can work for a great house (or not) and trade, smuggle, loot, explore, fight...

The game comes with a character creation system and although there are many parameters involved it doesn't feel overwhelming.

For an Early Access game it is incredibly polished as well and the devs are really active.

I'm liking it a lot so far and can't wait to see how it will turn out once it's finished since it's already pretty good (clearly an understatement).

Very interesting, Cara. A lot of what I look for in a game is present in this one. I will definitely keep my eye on this one. Thanks for flagging it!

To tell you how good it is, I was just going to check it out and I ended playing for more than three hours straight... Not to mention that I had things to do which got pushed to a later date because of that.

That game looks super. Putting it on my wishlist......

I'm waiting for the game to be finished because I don't want to play too much of the early access version (it's definitely playable) and it's a real gem definitely worth a look if you're into this sort of things.
