About eXoSpace Combat Engineer

eXoSpace Combat Engineer combines the gridless spaceship building of Reassembly, the intense combat of Nova Drift, and the unpredictable hyperjump encounters of FTL. Using a fully gridless, intuitive snap-and-rotate designer, you balance weapons, thrust, energy and armor, use advanced mechanical parts like pistons and hinges to build transforming warships, or install hangars to deploy swarms of custom-designed drones. Take your custom vessel into Bounty Hunt mode, navigating asteroid storms, pirate ambushes, and random encounters as you evolve your ship from a basic drone into a true dreadnought to survive intense, bullet-hell boss fights.

Mission-based game loop: complete missions to increase in rank and build even bigger ships to hunt more dangerous targets. Gridless spaceship designer that lets you easily snap parts together in any angle, allowing you to quickly try out new designs or upgrade your ship. Design your own drones and deploy swarms of them from your hangars. Intuitive engineering constraints: balance thrusters, weapons, energy and armor to create an effective warship. Bullet-hell boss fights: each mission ends with an epic phased boss-fight.

Find weak points while dodging projectiles.A fully-featured sandbox allowing you to build any ship, create your own faction, and share it with a click on the Steam Workshop. You can even build your own boss! The Galactic Arena: face design and piloting challenges ranging from 1 vs 1 drone skirmishes to cruiser battles. More than 600 different ship designs to discover, including many community creations.…

It's worse at everything that Cosmoteer and Reassembly have going for them. I especially hate that the game clearly cheats by reading and using your…
