Space Station Sim

[Xantcha]

Was looking for thematic games and found this one: http://www.vision-play.com/products/game1/index.html

Have anyone tried it or heard about it? Opinions?
From screenshots it looks like *The Sims* in space, so this can be either boring and stupid or actually funny/interesting. Haven't downloaded demo yet so I have no idea what it really is.

Looks like i have to download demo it to have an opinion on it :-/

It actually looks fun. I wish I could buy it.

I've played the demo a couple of times, and it is mildly realistic and fairly accurate. It's more based on the scientiffic/human aspects, rather than the physics (Which is what Orbiter is for)

I suggest you download the demo and have a look at it yourself.

 

[MJR]

It looks more kid friendly though. That is probably why.

Thanks for opinions. You gave me no chance to dismiss it, so i should download it :^)

 

[MJR]

Good luck.

Your original description of it as "The Sims in space" is pretty accurate.

Needless to say, I recently bought the game and it's rather interesting.

It's like Orbiter 2005 (graphics) meets KSP (GUI interface).

The aim of the game is to build a working space station module-by-module. Included are many parts that you can launch to make the space station.

I got it for $5 on eBay, so it's pretty good value for money.

Same here, bought it at a local retailer. The Sims in Space, is my rating of it. It could be much better in many small details, but generally, it isn't that bad.
