I first tried this game when it was v0.1.3. I was considering posting a comment then that could be summarized as "Interesting idea, but the crashes keep me from exploring it further."
Fast forward a few months and I checked on a few projects I'm keeping tabs on, including this one. I saw that there had been several updates, so I gave the then-latest version 1.8 a try. It was a drastic improvement, and no crashes had been experienced from then on. I had a comment drafted that I intended to post.
Fast forward another month or so and we are now in the present, where I finally decide to get off my rear and post a comment. The amount of change that this game has seen since I started watching it has sincerely amazed me, especially considering the new ship building system which seemed to crop up out of nowhere (though it didn't - it was made through your dedicated efforts).
This game is one that has impressed me every update and I look forward to seeing the future of this game and any future projects from you.
Keep up the excellent work!
