I’ve had this game for less than a week and I’ve Jack Sparrow’ed my way into an A class freighter and i found a planet with glow orbs laying on the ground by the dozen. So i’ve got this crazy freighter and millions in credits but hardly any raw resources to build or upgrade anything.

I’m starting to think my mind made it up because all of these are close but not quite right

It does sound a lot like them but it’s neither

The description is similar but i don’t remember there being space combat, there may have been but it would have been later in the game. What i’m thinking of was ground based units

It does sound very similar but you are correct, too new of a game to be the one i’m trying to remember
