I love all those games (except Starfield), Infact Eve and satisfactory are among my all time top 5 games, but x4 has its flaws...

I really don't like the AI for example, and I also felt that it isn't deep enough for me, once your building stations and building ships, there's not much else to do aside from sending a fleet to destroy these guys next, which is where the kinda bad AI comes in, they suck at efficient combat and need micromanaging. The story line was ok but I wasn't that involved and it was a little boring being a lot of just fly here fly there...

That said all the other games have their flaws too obviously

I was absolutely obsessed with eve but it's a totally different game now and I don't get enough enjoyment out of it anymore (for the cost)

Satisfactory's flaw for me is just that I did everything so all that's left is build more factories across the map for resources I don't need or tear down and rebuild my current factories to make them neater and nicer looking which... Also isn't very appealing to me

Long story short, for me a new space game with similar elements to Eve and satisfactory along with perhaps the ship building aspects of Starfield (haven't tried but looked like a nice idea with garbage implementation) is more than welcome

Basically, I need to scratch that space ship game itch still and nothing is really cutting it for me anymore

Ive got such a craving for space ship games which isn't satisfied by any games currently that I'm often fantasizing about resubbing my 4 eve accounts to solo nomad in wormhole space to hopefully pay for the game subscription using in game currency from wormhole life (gas harvesting, relic/data, maybe PI) and skill farming...

For those who don't know that's a huge fucking time investment, basically a second job in terms of hours per week and tediousness, so it's pretty absurd that I'm even entertaining the possibility
