There's a long long list of 2D space the games that are great (Escape Velocity, Endless Sky, Trancendence...). The focus isn't as much on the space part, more on the story/mechanics. If you want 3D, there's other space focused games that make great use of the 3rd dimension (Kerb Space Program, X, Children of a Dead Earth...).

I bought this years ago. Great game. Kinda been waiting for it to near completion before I play again.

So, I built a "decent" base system on their website. i-9600K, RX580. 32BG ram, 500GB NVME, monitor, etc.... $2700 USD.
I then built a like and similar one on NewEgg. i-8600k, 1070Ti, 32GB ram, 500GB NVME, monitor, ... $1750 USD.

I know I went cheaper with the processor, but more expensive with the graphics card. Unfortunately, it doesn't say what exactly most of the parts are, so I might have gone much lower in quality than what system76 used.

I just saw minimaul's post with the materials, list. My guesses were pretty close (itx, H370 motherboard. I picked an Asrock instead of Gigabyte and an EVGA 650W instead of FSP 600W power supply). Sadly, they didn't list their heatsink supplier. I'm really curious as ITX cases can be really rough trying to fit in a normal cooler. I used a noctuna NHc-14S as the beefier DH-15 was 5mm too tall to fit in my selected case for this test build.

On the other hand, I suppose they can use any size cooler they want as the case is custom. And man, it looks nice. I like the wood look. It kinda makes me want to make my own wooden case, but that would probably be a horrible idea.

Sad, I'll admit I did the kickstarter. I've never played because I wanted to wait until it was "finished". I agree with Kaiman; the continual asking for more money was a huge turn off. I'm still waiting for a fun, original open world RPG for linux (like Morrowind), I guess I'll be waiting much longer.

ps, I do know about openMW Engine project, I'm excited for it, but I'm also hoping for a new, modern, original RPG.

Looks interesting. For some reason, it kinda evokes a Dominions vibe, but in RPG form. I like the controller support option. The steam reviews look good too. Has any one here tried it. I'm very curious about it

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLYup, still run fine - tested few weeks ago on OpenMandriva Lx 3.

Thanks. I don't have a DVD drive anymore to test it. Guess I'll have to buy one!

Diamond Edition was my first Linux game! Does any one know if the original still runs on Linux?

Probably the best dwarf-fortress-like out there. I believe It's DRM free from the devs website (I bought mine there long ago) and $30 is totally worth it for what you get. Yes, it's slimmer than df, but still can be brutally hard. I think its more streamlined and focused take benefits the game over all.

Hopefully, I'll get to play a little Rimworld or maybe Star Trader: Frontiers. But first I have some rush appliance repair I need to do. The parts store closes at lunch time.

Ahhh, the joy of rebuilding a drier in my flood prone basement. So glad we're getting 12.5cm of rain today...
