I've only played a little over 8 hours so far and I'm simply floored by how cool this game is. The game's Minecraft like take on spaceflight and spaceship/station building is simply fantastic. While my current ship building ability is akin to a 3 year old drawing on the wall with crayons, I'm simply in love with the full gamut of things available to build with. Looking on Youtube you can find users who've built fleets of Titan class ships that look absolutely gorgeous and wonderfully showcase what this game can let you build.

The first ship I built was simply a small cube. It was hideous, but after a run in with a pirate station (which chased me for a fairly long ways) I had to rebuild. I landed on a planet and mined the only thing I could see: lava. I wondered what I could do with lava and found out that while it's useless for crafting, it makes a seriously bright ship. So I built a ship out of lava. After watching some videos on youtube I realized that I'd just wasted a significant amount of time doing nothing, and I built a better ship purely for mining. It's ugly as sin, but it can demolish an asteroid in about 2 minutes, so I'm happy with it for the time being. After I mine a bit more I'm going to dive into crafting, then I'll make a really big ship. (Currently mine doesn't have an inside) I'm also hoping that (since I know how to use Photoshop) I can possibly contribute to some of the texture packs on http://starmadedock.net

So far I haven't recommended any game to my friends as much as I have this one. I already bought the 4 license pack and hope the developers keep on chugging away on this, it has so much potential.
