If possible, could you hotfix number rounding? Of all minor UI bugs I encountered it probably most annoying.

Other minor bugs: sometimes clicks fall through interface and I switch from galaxy to system view (while trading) and sometimes right pilot tabs get stuck in "selected" ("pressed") mode.
I patched those under porting rules, let me know if you spot anything else doing a javascript. Thanks!
Up until "today" in the game calendar, I’ve built the careers of four pilots by spamming resources on uranium — and it's been pretty lucrative, haha. It's been quite the journey getting this far, super fun to play!
The presentation however, is great as always. Loved the classic looking UI and sound design, and of course the old-school looking anime portraits are just beautiful. Nice experience overall(^:
i did not think there was a lot to do gameplay wise, as it's just queueing up orders and doing upgrades.
however i did have fun for a bit, nicely done!
I did enjoy the gameplay even if it was very easy, but these kinds of games are some of my favorites, so I did enjoy my time with this. Graphically it is simple, but it does work. This has potential to be a full fledged simple space capitalism game and I'd be happy to play a more complex and feature rich version.
Capitalism HO!
I also don't really see how this game connects to the theme, but all in all it was a super fun experience!
I made lots of money

You can't make trades that cost more than you current funds, so if you spend all your cash that's it! Make sure you leave some spare cash to make new trades before buying upgrades or items.
Overall a pretty complex game you could spend hours with 👍
Overall spent longer playing this than I expected, very good experience.
I haven't noticed how I spent 30+ minutes clicking trade routes. Fascinating mechanics, great art style. Hats off, really shows who's the master here.
Never thought intergalactic aluminum and uranium trade would be so much profitable! :money_mouth:
## Endgame screenshot
Look, it's today in the game!

## User interface
The user interface was pretty good and satisfying to click through, which is the main thing to get right in this kind of game!
It pausing the game when the trade select menu was open got more in the way than helped, though, as the main bottleneck was how fast I could click through trades...
## Unique pilots
How many pilot images are there?
I seem to have rolled the same ones multiple times...
I think it would've been cool if pilot images were associated to an unique name and ability, instead of being random...
My first two pilots had the same surname and I had initially assumed it was intentional, and started thinking of some headcanon like them being related in some way...
I spy references to Evangelion and *a certain other game* in the other players' screenshots :eyes:
## Critters
Well, here are your *tiny creatures* for the theme, I assume! Hehe.
## Music
The music was chill and fit very well with the vibe of the game :relaxed:
## Overall
Very well done as always! :clap:
