Have you checked out Starbase? It may be considered “dead” nowadays (I myself haven’t played in a little over a year), but it’s like what Star Citizen wants to be. It’s an MMO in a MASSIVE shared server with everyone. You get to literally build your ships from scratch (and decide where literally everything goes, down to the bolt placement), or you can buy pre- and player-deisgned ships. The game takes place orbiting a gas giant with like 7 moons and a huge asteroid belt, except pretty much everything is actually to real life scale. It’s ENORMOUS, but so cool.
Yep, played Starbase for a while, the lack of any meaningful PvE or ‘survival’ content ultimately killed all my interest in it even while it still had some support. Construction for constructions sake is just not something that vibes with me.
Their construction system did remind me of hosting Spacebuild and ACF servers back in the good old Garry’s Mod days though, making all manner of wiremod vehicles on there.
I’m personally waiting and seeing what Starship EVO is going to do in regards to PvE/survival/crafting, since it might be a really nice Space Engineers contender if they do it well.
