Since 1984 s Elite, and in sci-fi before it, space has promised careers of freedom. Work for yourself, work only when you want to, make your own adventures. For better and for ill, space is sci-fi s wild west, a lawless frontier to explore and find independence. Our actual future isn’t as glamorous, even if those frontier promises are the same ones made by the gig economy.

Hello! We're currently experiencing an issue where users with high refresh monitors will run some races insanely fast, 2-4 times the intended speed. This results in the racer crossing the finish line very quickly, and ends with a glitchy graphics, upside down world that lasts ~10 seconds or so. Essentially the game is running at very high FPS, instead of the intended 60 FPS. We hope to address this properly, but in the meantime, here are a few ways you can fix it, if experiencing this issue: 1) Run the game in Windowed mode. or 2) Drop your monitor's refresh rate to 60Hz before starting the ga

I think it’s time we blow this scene, as the gam
