This game is pretty good as it is right now, considering its in early alpha! I'd definitely recommend grabbing it If you're interested in a game thats sort of a cross between Prison Architect and FTL.

The game so far is sort of like this; you start in the market and find a contract that fits the technology you have on hand, or that can be researched before your bid is due. You design the ship in the way you think would make the most sense so it fits the parameters of the contract. you save your design, and can then put it through different tests. Some that are pretty easy, some that aren't. you're given a score based on how well you did on the tests. when you feel like your ship is tested enough, you submit your bid.
the amount you get on the bids seems kind of low at the moment compared to how much research and stuff costs, but im sure it can all be tweaked.

No crashes or anything so far, although the graphics do seem to *try* to crash on occation, they haven't yet.
