The campaign is more or less the tutorial. Otherwise, you set your own goals. Like unlocking new building materials, buying a new ship, stuff like that. It’s a sandbox. A very good one at that.

I want to try this, but I am not a big fan of sandbox games without any set goals. Is there any kind of single player campaign in it?

Thanks. I guess I should just give it a try some day.

It has a loose story to get to the center of the universe, but I can’t say I’ve ever made it there as I always end up doing other things

Heh, have heard similar things from others, just not sure if that would work for me, but still, sounds like worth a try at least.

The game has periodic expeditions that have some story to them, and there is the main overarching story plus the “Journey to the Center” bit
But yea, it’s mostly a sandbox where you make cool bases (and now cool space ships) or try to make number go up and grow an intergalactic trading empire.

Number going up can be fun for a while too…

There is a story. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly fascinating unless you really love Sci-Fi but there’s a bunch of side quests to do as well

Sortaaaa, it’s pretty weak from what I remember and mostly served to give you a reason to explore more of the sandbox and use the different features of the game.
