Closed Playtest: looking for a few brave captains

We’re running a closed playtest for the current build next week (exact dates TBA). This is a development version, meant to consolidate what’s in the game right now and get feedback before the next big push.

What’s in this build:

• Mining & Salvaging (find it, strip it, stash it)

• Tech Research and ship module unlocks

• Survival-linked resources (oxygen, water, food, power… everything touches everything)

• Manufacturing & Assembly

• Resource refining & manufacturing chains

• System jumps between sectors

What to expect:

• Some screens/UI are still raw; others are pretty close to final.

• You’ll run into rough edges, placeholder bits, and occasional “what does this button do?” moments.

• That’s the point! We’re looking for honest impressions on clarity, balance, pacing, and what’s fun vs. fiddly.

How to join:

• Fill out this quick form so we can match testers to the build and your hardware/time zone: Apply for Playtest

• If you’d like updates, tick the newsletter box in the form (optional).

• We’ll select a limited number of players and send Steam playtest keys via email.

A few notes:

• This is a small, focused wave; if you’re not picked this round, there will be more!

• Please don’t stream or post spoilers from this build yet—some things are better revealed when they’re ready.

• Feedback is gold. We’ll share a short survey + a place to drop bugs and thoughts.

Thanks for helping us shape the game. Can’t wait to hear what you think once you take the fleet out for a spin!
