An online, shared world has an awkward early phase: the systems are there, the players mostly aren’t yet. That is where SPATION is. It is a free top-down 3D space sandbox MMO in the browser with Newtonian orbital physics, and a loop of mining, refining, crafting, fitting ships and fighting pirates.
Instead of pretending otherwise, we say it plainly: outside set times you may fly alone. And we set one time when people do fly together:
Flight Night, every Sunday 20:00 CET on Discord. Next: Sunday 8 November, 20:00 CET.
What I’d like from this community is not praise. Play the first 15 minutes and tell me bluntly where it lost you, what confused you and what made you keep going. In game: Esc -> Feedback / Bug, or reply here.
