I want to start by saying this is not a solicitation for another game simply an idea sharing with a bunch of fellow gamers in organizations.
There is a game on Steam called Empyrion Galatic Survival, I share this because organizations could use this game to design buildings, ships, space stations, tanks, etc that we want to see in DU. It's been out for a few years now, it's an alpha early access game but really incredible for what its status is. Has active developers and lots of promise, so your money would not be wasted. In short it's a smaller (more realistic) version of DU in my opinion.
There are servers that support 200 players both EU and NA, I have a friend who runs a 200 player server in EU that I can recommend to people. Have any questions you can message me on Steam add me as a friend Sgt Wolk is my Username. If you don't have a Steam account, make one its free. I will reply as soon as possible!
If Devs do not like this post please just delete I will not post it again. I just wanted to give a tool to people while they're awaiting for DU to be launched.
Future Sith Lord,
Wolk
