You can start new game ether with a basic ship or start on mining platform and make your own from scratch. The building ship mechanics reminds me of old manager games like Theme Hospital and the combat is similar to X-COM: Apocalypse real time system when you can adjust the game speed or pause wile you give orders to your squad or ships. I have played this around +60 and did finished one of my playthrough on medium difficulty. When you have successfully build a good ship with decent size crew then you pretty much done. You can explore but there was no ending in the version I played before the early access on GOG and Steam. Overall really good early access title and looking forward to see what the developers will add in the future. Highly recommended
