Absolutely. I love the idea of Distant Worlds but I hate the game itself. I have high hopes for Deep Space Settlement!

I remember seeing a video presentation for this game over at SpaceSector a while back. It turned me off for some reason, but I don't recall why. I want to say it struck me as being too fast-paced, but don't quote me on that.
Still, I presume it's going to be a long while yet before the game is released, so we'll see how it develops.

You get the lighter fluid, I'll get the matches!
