Can planets crash into planets - On the rarest occasion, yes.
Can asteroids crash into planets - It's almost as rare as planet collisions.
Can you crash into planets - Very easily, Not to mention your ship can be as big as you'd like.
Can you orbit planets - You can get into their atmosphere but orbiting has not been added, yet.
Can you crash the sun into a planet. - No.

Needs a stuff ton of work to become anything I'd want to play for extended periods of time. But great concept.

Agreed it needs work, but there is nothing more satisfying than murdering pirates.

Also, it updates constantly which is great. I'll keep this topic alive and post every new update when it's released.

So is this game super hard to learn or can i just sort of jump into it?

Well, depends on what you want to do. The game explains ship making immediately, but the mineral enhancement process is a little more difficult to learn. Ships are really easy to fly as well.

Just try it out. It's really fun.

More Adventuring!

I found a space station with no gravity systems, so i stole a bunch of materials.

I used them to upgrade "PIRATE" Ship.

Are the pictures in the op edited or is that what staring into lights looks like in the game.

The bloom effects are in the game and optional.

There really doesn't seem to be much to do right now. I went through the tutorial and built my ship, went over to an asteroid and realized to my disappointment that you can harvest a block instantly by right clicking on it, then flew off to some massive space station (the "warp speed" effect was nice) and my game crashed.

Well you can

My one and only hint to all of you.

You can walk off planets and fall back into space very easily. This is very useful because if you land your ship on a planet, it's forgeted.

Here is what you do.
- Enter high orbit with your ship in the atmosphere.
- Leave the ship
- Mark it with F
- Float to the planet's surface
- Loot
- Jump off the side of the planet
- Re-enter your craft
- ???
- Profit

Now for more pictures.

Why i hate ice planets. This is why you don't land. I managed to get it out eventually.

Certain Atmospheres effect the sun.

Many random planets just waiting to be discovered.

can you blow up planets

If you're as willing as you seem you are.

Yes, with enough firepower that is.

EVERYTHING CAN BE DESTROYED.
