About the systems I've encountered, I cannot say a lot. Be is complex or simple, it has always been a chore for me to bring/find/save all the items I needed for crafting. It takes to much mental effort to think about it, FOR Me, and in same games it is really important.
Buy Stellar Tactics instead. It's everything this title claims to deliver X10. Also it's a not a cash grab; it's been in development for years now.
To play Sector Unknown doesn't mean I could not play Stellar Tactics.
Devlog: Bounties & Hunting Contracts
A smaller devlog this week.
In Null Sector, a region unmarked on star charts and devoid of formal settlements, inhabitants are continually threatened by both bipedal adversaries and wild beasts. To counteract these dangers, locals sometimes gather their resources to handle a threat beyond their capacity.
For the enterprising of players, this presents an opportunity for earning additional income. By constructing bounty and hunting terminals within your base, you can access current contracts available online. The bounty terminal lists individuals posing various levels of danger, ranging from minor narcotics traffickers to notorious serial killers.
Meanwhile, the hunting terminal offers information on local fauna that can be hunted for a reward. Targets vary from innocuous creatures causing minor nuisances chewing on power cables to dangerous man-eating predators posing serious threats to the sector's residents.
Tracking contracts in Null Sector will take some investigation, consisting of a blend of environmental scrutiny and conversations with local inhabitants. Identifying your target is the first step; the real challenge lies in neutralizing them, with the task's difficulty directly tied to their threat level.
The game's research system allows for the unlocking of various threat levels, adding depth to your strategy. While pursuing bounties is optional, successfully completing these missions offers substantial credit rewards, enhancing your resources for other endeavors in the game.
Disclaimer: The portraits and descriptions are still a work in progress.
Sector Unknown
Sector Unknown is the full version of the game and can be seen in the link below.
Don't forget to wishlist and follow for release dates and information!
Devlog: Space Travel
Sector Unknown is host to a variety of different planets that can be travelled to.
Sector Unknown is host to a variety of different planets. Finding yourself stranded on the barren planet of Maku, through playing the story, you will eventually gain ownership of a ship. From there, the stars open up to you with six story planets available to explore and bring under your control, either through diplomacy or force.
From your base, you choose your ship and pilot—combat success hinges on their piloting skills.
Launch into space to investigate your local system, which includes planets ripe for mining. Initially, Maku is the sole story planet, serving as your home base. However, advancing the story unlocks a jump gate to a new system featuring planets like Nabi, a harsh desert world, and Sjo, a shimmering aquatic planet, each with their own settlements.
Each system has their own jump gates, guarded by the oppressive Star Frontier, and must be conquered and claimed for use. The star combat system is still being worked on, so I don't have a lot to show there yet, but you will occasionally be able to interdict both Star Frontier and pilot vessels through combat, pacifying your systems and controlling traffic in and out of each.
Sector Unknown, once removed from star charts by the resource-greedy Star Frontier, is a critical battleground. These planets and stations, once under your control, are crucial in your mission to expel Star Frontier from the sector.
More to come!

In what programming language do you code, do you use AI coding copilot and how much AI tools help you in generation of game assets (concept art, voice overs, 3D models, animation, AI for in-game factions etc)? You already have my respect
Glad to help. I used to write about food and restaurants as a side-hustle and I always benefitted from an editor.
Devlog: Support Personnel
In your adventures across various planets, you'll have the opportunity to recruit a diverse range of characters into your organization. While not all of these characters are suited for combat, they will each bring unique skills and contributions that are vital toward your success.
Non-Combat Support Personnel
Among the characters you might encounter are individuals like Chef Gustav, a culinary genius whose exceptional cooking skills can boost morale and sustain your operation during challenging times. Then there's N-689, a financial AI programmed to optimize your organization's credit acquisitions, ensuring you have the funds necessary for operations and expansions.
Cleveland, the skilled metallurgist, is invaluable for constructing and maintaining anything metal-related within your base. His expertise can significantly enhance your infrastructure and defensive capabilities. Othello, the passionate mineralogist, has an eye for gemstones and can help in identifying and utilizing natural resources to fund and further your cause.
These characters, among many others you might encounter, can be recruited into your organization to provide essential services. Each one brings unique bonuses, abilities, and unlocks, aiding in your broader strategy against the formidable Star Frontier.
Integration
Once recruited, these individuals will return to your base to support your mission, each contributing to your total War Score (details to be discussed in a subsequent post). Their varied skills and specialties not only bolster your operational capabilities but also enhance your strategic position in the ongoing conflict.
Given the broad array of characters available, it's possible that not all can be recruited in a single playthrough. This variability ensures a dynamic approach to team building, where every character you manage to recruit, regardless of their combat abilities, plays a vital role in the overarching success of your rebellion, thereby enriching the strategy and depth of your campaign.
What gave you the impression this won't pull a Larian?
