You can literally go download the game in its current state right now, and fly around your $30 spaceship. I last checked in ~4 years ago and it was insanely impressive what they've done.
They do just enough to fend off any serious allegations of fraud.
The fact you haven't felt compelled to check in 4 years says everything.
I haven't checked in 4 years because I only invested $25 year 1 lmao. I don't know about you, but spending $25 knowing it has a chance to faiI, or be an out right scam, isn't something I worry about in the slightest. I l have not the slightest idea if they'll ever pull it off, either. Until I see some article that's like "New SC update releases much anticipated mechanic, and is a major milestone reached." Mind you I don't subscribe to anything strictly SC.
Other than that I'll see it on Twitch every few months and tune in, and those are usually a massive group doing planned content. Like a 50v50 battle at some base on a planet, with tanks, ships, fps shooting, etc. It's always impressive to see the scale and capabilities of the game that way.
Last time I checked, about a year ago, things were still unfinished in the starting city, and the game was unoptimized and crashed often. Super impressive. /s
Correct, it is a game currently in Alpha.
