Anyhoo. This beastie is a space shooter/RPG/FTL/roguelike/thingy, quite like Everspace, but with slightly less good graphics and squiffy voice acting. That said, I enjoyed playing through the demo and the last past of it was so monumentally badass that I backed it on the spot.
Instead of Everspace's small fighter style ships, however, the ones in Between the Stars are quite a bit larger, and you have various sections which are operated by various NPC crewmembers, leading to various events like in FTL, where sometimes the character skills are enough to solve a problem.... And sometimes aren't. You can research items on your travels, build bits and bobs for your ship and find items on your travels. The star sytems that you are
