I gave this version a shot.
First game, failed right out gate, random starting situation caused me to lose 10 base metals, leaving me short to build any type of reactor.
Second game, got first module up and running. Started Astrobase mission, assigned a crew, but they never did anything. Took off job, but now cant assign him to ship anymore. Also mission system would add/duplicate orders soon as hit print button.
Gave up.
