Following, hoping this turns out to be less like bad Excel porn than Aurora.

I've been playing Aurora for awhile and been following Pulsar for about half that time. Unfortunately, it seems that at the moment there isn't much to watch. This looks pretty good and I wish you luck.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Looks good, I love Aurora as a 'thing', but as a game it is.. Lacking, particularly in terms of UI and stability (heck resizing the window is madness). 

I'd love to see a new group opensource a similar game and see what we get.

Definitely looks interesting. Definitely posting. Definitely watching.

I think steve is colourblind, so the UI is bound to be a little unusual.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

The main issue I have with Aurora is that you need 2 dedicated screens to play it efficiently.  I'm not sure how you could do it with fewer windows though.

And the interminable interrupts.  So anything that is aurora-like, but faster, is interesting to me.

I'm really looking forward to this! I've been spending too much time ordering a tug to pull mining platforms in place, so the ability to script orders sounds like the best thing ever for this game!
